When we found out that Barnard student Marlena Holter is a competitive synchronized ice skater (a sport that we over at Bwog just recently learned is, in fact, a thing), we knew an interview was needed. Because we are so intrigued by her balance and grace, we sent Bwog’s Winter Activities Correspondent, Kyra Bloom, to investigate. […]
A tipster walking by the lawns overheard the following, very scientific exchange between a “scooter kid” and his mother: Mom: don’t walk on the grass. Do you see it’s all muddy with no grass. Why do you think there isn’t any grass? Kid: because a vegetarian was BROWSING! Grassfed beef minus the beef […]
Tween girls everywhere breath a sigh of relief as Robert Pattinson forgives Kristen Stewart for her cheating “trampire” ways. Faith in true love has been restored once again.

The email-illiterate masses are currently rising up to destroy the clean (or green?) inboxes of much of campus. The Green Umbrella list serv is experiencing mass defection as dozens of people attempt to unsubscribe by hitting “reply all,” which only compounds the problem and the hilarity. UPDATE: The most prolific spammer, Chloe B., has contacted us […]
Class of 2016, cherish this moment. Your Columbia Lions football team is undefeated. The team opened the 2012 season with a narrow 10-9 victory over Marist, erasing fears that the Lions would have another 9-game winless streak to start the season and undoubtedly taking some pressure off new football head coach Pete Mangurian. The football […]

Connoisseur of Fine Art and Fine Bagels Brit Byrd visited CC sophomore Alex Chang’s Nussbaum dorm-cum-museum. Here’s what he found out from its curator… Impressionism, curatorship, and soft lighting are three concepts not usually associated with the address 600 W 113th St. This year however, the focused glow of one resident’s set of museum-caliber LEDs is on […]
Last night, we received the following picture, captioned (edgily) by a tipster: From another anonymous tipster: Three first-years on Broadway and 114th: F1: …then we found out that he’s the son of the diplomat to Belgium. F3: Good thing it wasn’t Libya! Ohhh! An awkward silence. F2: Too soon? Too soon. More anonymous eavesdropping from […]
Take the Lerner talking elevators up to the fifth floor and go to the SGO at 7 pm where Bwog will welcome you with open arms and carbohydrate-laden snacks! If you like to write, read, and/or jazzercise then you should come tonight and even if you don’t like any of those things you should still […]
The ubiquity of nudity (and more nudity) and obscenities in today’s society has led many to wonder if the art world can shock us anymore.
