BunsenBwog had been stowed away in the metaphorical chemistry stock room over winter break, but science doesn’t take a holiday. Instead, Columbia’s tireless teams of professors and (let’s be honest) mostly graduate students have been toiling away during the winter months, presumably synthesizing the most chemically pure hot chocolate you’ve ever tasted. In reality though they were up to some cool stuff, and […]
Last week, we informed you of the beginning of DevFest, the “week-long application development experience” that has something to do with computers. Since the combination of get-rich-quick potential and Westside cookies was too much for Bwog to resist, technocrat chronicler Michael Menna was dispatched behind the Silicon Curtain of the Computer Science Department to report […]

Tonight, Tyler Benedict, CC ’13, and Poet Laureate of the Columbia University Marching Band, will compete in the Jeopardy! College Championship.

The show will air at 7:00 […]

So tomorrow, our women’s basketball team is facing off against Harvard. In case you were planning on trying to squeeze onto those crowded bleachers for some Division I action, you can eat pizza beforehand for no money. After all, nothing goes with not playing sports like vegging out. Here’s the deal: Deans Shollenberger and Martinez […]
Survivorchef Matt Powell descends into the depths of McBain armed with just a 10-inch skillet and crème fraiche to prepare a meal for Daily Editor Alexandra Svokos in the latest installment of Bwog’s Dorm Chef Challenge. I have a confession to make: I have never been to McBain. All I know of the place is […]
While we’re not exactly sure who holds the authority to dole out such rankings, Duane Reade red plastic cups have been certified their cups for true partying. Honestly, we don’t play enough drinking games here.
After getting to know the new Campo Mike, we thought we’d check in with the original. For those who joined the Columbia community after last December, Mike Wetherbee, former general manager of Campo, was a familiar face on Thursday and Saturday nights Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. This March will mark the end […]
