Bacchanal is soliciting student suggestions for this spring concert’s act in good faith. Accordingly, Bwog is temporarily dropping its normal stance of professionalism and integrity, and standing up for its passionate and biased convictions. So here it is. Bacchanal E-board: please invite U-KISS to perform at Bacchanal! Columbia students deserve to dance to the hot beats and infectious […]
On Tuesday, students, professors, and United Nations officials crowded the 15th floor of the International Affairs building in order to listen to a panel speak about SIPA’s May 2012 trip to North Korea, the first and last trip of its kind at Columbia. East Asian aficionado Roberta Barnett retells their harrowing tale. The panel, composed […]
Foxconn is vehemently denying that its workers are striking at the iPhone 5 factory in China. This is a wise move on Foxconn’s part to save face for Apple and to avoid rioting. However, econ majors will soon realize that the iPhone 5 is turning into a Veblen good. (Huffington Post) Depression and suicide rates have soared […]

Hurry over to Low steps for the longest line you’ve ever seen! …Oh, and there’s FREE BUBBLE TEA at the end of it . We’re not quite sure what the occasion is, other than a cryptic sign labelled “China Day.” We’ll take giant quantities of tapioca and slushie fruit no matter what the excuse is, […]
Amazon rolled out their version of PO boxes in New York City almost a year ago. Bwog’s very own vivacious voyager, John Hu, victimized by lost packages and long lines, decided to venture out and verify this well-kept secret. Before you go off and order that giant teddy bear Lit Hum book, you’ll need to add the closest […]
Yesterday at 6 pm in Low, the Columbia Program for Economic Research hosted the Honorable Sheila C. Bair, Former Chairman of the FDIC from 2006-2011. Teacher’s pet Alexandra Svokos did her best to be a good econ major. The Hon. Sheila C. Bair had the honor of being head of the FDIC during the most […]
In a mood inspired by times past, Bwog has been meditating over institutional memory a lot recently. Though our community benefits from the healthy, competitive presence of at least two robust publications, many of the finer points of our contemporary experience are annually lost come May. Bwog humbly suggests that you help to remedy the […]
As tensions between Turkey and Syria escalate, and nothing seems to help, Syria has decided the solution is to bomb its own rebels. (BBC) The unemployment rate has fallen to 7.8%, its lowest level in three and a half years, but predictably, small business owners still think the economy is about to fall off a […]
So, if you’ve been outside in the past week (and if you haven’t, Bwog salutes you) you’ve probably noticed that the weather has taken a turn for the dismal. Every day brings a fresh struggle over which accessories to wear – umbrella, sweater, rain boots, sunglasses, mink stole… The soul grows fatigued. Tonight however, shitty […]
As you may have noticed, we’ve been doing “science” lately in order to procrastinate actually doing anything, ever. So far, we’ve told you what percentage of the Student Life Fee you can drink back, and what percentage you can poncho-back. In this installment, we use our fancy back-of-the-envelope skillz (you can’t prove it’s on a […]
Last night, campus political groups the Columbia Political Union, CU College Republicans, CU Dems, and the Roosevelt Institute hosted a live screening (with free pizza!) of the first Presidential Debate being held at the University of Denver, Colorado.
