Bwog understands it’s midterm season and even we get too lazy to make ourselves ramen every now and again, too. So, if you’re interested in some free grub, make your way over to the Broadway Room in Lerner at 6:15 pm where the Committee on Global Thought will be providing free pizza, refreshments and a […]
Jeffrey Sachs, perhaps one of Columbia’s most well known faculty member, is at it again. This time, the Director of the Earth Institute, is not seeking to simply advise economically insolvent countries, he wants to help them out of the mess himself. Sachs threw himself into the ring with an op-ed he wrote for the Washington Post […]
Katie Meili, CC’13, has had one of the most impressive seasons in Women’s Swimming & Diving program history, culminating with a record-shattering swim in the 100 yard breaststroke at the 2012 Ivy League Championship. The Texas native captured four other Ivy League titles that weekend and was unanimously named Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet. […]
Not really. The tipster has informed us that it’s since been put out. Public Safety can’t say conclusively what caused the fire, but it’s mostly like the result of a discarded cigarette. C’mon, folks. You know better than that.
Maybe it’s not such a good idea to make the moves on your professor. (Spec) As much as your parents think it’s true, Columbia is not making you the hippie, free lovin’, Socialist that you’re becoming. The only person you can blame is yourself. (NYT) Mercedes invents a car with zero emissions and then figures […]

Men’s Swimming & […]
Remember how Bacchanal is 90s themed this year? The good people at Baccha90s want to put you and your cherished childhoods to work designing the event’s official T-shirt! So if you have an idea, send it their way. The contest ends tomorrow (as in, “Don’t Stop Thinking About…“) (yes, it came out in ’77, but […]

Bwog is no stranger to weird happenings on campus that end up going viral. This one, though, has us stumped. Is this some sort of Baccha90s guerilla marketing campaign? Who is the “ring pop princess” and what does she want from us? Is this her organization’s manifesto? What follows is all of the evidence we’ve managed to […]
The reach of Bwog’s tipsters knows no bounds. By that we mean that one of them occasionally musters the energy to venture below 110th St. for something other than an Absolute Bagel, and supplies us with such linguistic coincidences as this photo. For some future generation of Columbians, perhaps this four letter combination will conjure […]
