While some of us are snapping out of that movie marathon malaise and contemplating on working on that paper due Monday, or something, a fraction of the student body taking Peter Awn’s Islam class had the pleasure of opening their inboxes to this e-mail: I hope you all had a wonderful spring break. As I […]
Bwog was shocked to learn the world continually turns as we sleep in until 1 pm and subsequently spend the day watching Netflix. Because the news won’t take a break, we’re taking a break from being on break to break some news—cue a recovery nap. Donald Keene, a prominent scholar of Japanese literature and culture and […]
WikiCU announced today that there will be a change at captain’s chair, with Sam Aarons, SEAS ’14 and one of Bwog’s webmasters, taking control of WikiCU’s operations and Bwog taking a longer term advisory role. We’d link to WikiCU, but it’s still plagued by malware. Get on that, Sam. Statement from the outgoing WikiCU team […]

Naturally, everyone thinks of the tropical drinks of the Caribbean and Hawaii, but for those of us without the benefit of home cooking meals or schwanky resort fare, Spring Break also means JUNK FOOD and lots of it! This week’s Cooking with Bwog is Matt Powell’s gourmet guide to Spring Break survival, in three indulgent […]
While most people travel during Spring Break so that they may escape campus/Morningside Heights/NYC, it looks like a group of underclassmen beach goers decided to comfort themselves with a temporary monument to our rectilinear campus. Send in your pictures/stories/videos/life-altering mistakes from break, so that those of us stuck on campus can relax vicariously. tips@bwog.com Created […]
And by cooties, we mean it’s been hacked and infected by malware. Bwog is staffed by hopelessly computer-illiterate History majors, so we turned to one of our backend tech gurus to explain why you should stay the fuck away from WikiCU until told otherwise. It’s all about how dangerous malware could be. While most people will get […]
Director of American studies, Andrew Delbanco, took to the NYTimes op-ed section yesterday to voice frustration about elitism in higher education. THE Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum recently set off a ruckus when he attacked America’s colleges as “indoctrination mills” from which God-fearing Americans should keep their distance. Calling President Obama a “snob” for urging […]
It’s spring break! We know this because Ke$ho himself said it! Wishing us a “happy, safe, and refreshing Spring Break,” Ke$ho has made the dream real in his annual Spring Break email. We hope you enjoy your week off and have a sweet, relaxing time. In the meantime, get closer to Ke$ho by welcoming him […]
We may be worn out, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t stopped our quest to keep you and the Columbia community happy and well-drunk. Without further ado we present The Post-Midterm. This is a legendary drink, the ingredients and creation of which have been passed on from Columbia generation to generation. Keep it in your […]
Be on the lookout for the February issue of The Blue & White, coming to campus this week. In the meantime, Bwog will again honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting features from the upcoming issue. Such treats include a visit to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, an investigation into Columbia’s animal testing practices, […]
