By Bwog Staff on Mar 23, 2009 8 Comments

Bwog extends a warm welcome back to Columbians, all of whom we assume are facing the day with bleary eyes.

By Bwog Staff on Mar 23, 2009 5 Comments

Disowned, Scorned, Still Proudly Self-Deprecating

By Bwog Staff on Mar 22, 2009 56 Comments

Loyalty is not something ingrained in students at this spirit-deprived school.  Even with all the excitement, we knew deep inside that Barack Obama (CC ’83, now some kind of important person) would never speak at Class Day. After all, what with saving the world, how could he possibly have time to visit his Alma Mater? […]

Swiftcurrent: Zionism, Zionism, Zionism

By Bwog Staff on Mar 19, 2009 36 Comments

Everyone’s favorite Jewish affairs journal The Current just released its Spring issue, and the Zionist focus has us feeling like the most beleaguered of the Brady Bunch children.  The Current’s Editor-in-Chief feels the Columbia/Barnard Hillel needs to support Israel more. Classical Zionism is so five minutes ago. Inequality even in model Israeli towns. Let’s just […]

It’s Out There Somewhere…

By Bwog Staff on Mar 18, 2009 5 Comments

Opportunities to use your parents’ hard earned flex off campus are dropping like flies. The Flex-eating disease has spread quickly, completely annihilating some, while putting others into a temporary or sporadic coma. But somewhere out there, far away from the carnage close to campus, courage can be found. The recurring flex mishaps didn’t stop Wondee […]

The Blue and White’s February/March issue is now online! From the issue: Columbia and internet start-ups: two tastes that don’t go well together.
