For some people, today is only about one thing– the Super Bowl. (ESPN) For others, it’s not so much about the game as it is about the halftime show, or maybe the drunk food. (MTV, Gawker) If Madonna and nachos have no allure, you could always head to the library. But be warned–even once you’re […]
For the past two days, SIPA’s penthouse has played host to a conference entitled “Mormonism and American Politics,” and Bwog was there in the form of honorary Salt Lake Citizen Clava Brodsky. Lucky she attended, since this topic seems rather, well, topical! What follows are her notes from the field. Birds probably have the best […]
On one blustery winter evening each year, (read: tonight at 7 pm), the Asian American Alliance (AAA) hosts cultureSHOCK in Lerner to showcase Asian American performance, fashion, and FOOD from groups across the Columbia community. In an attempt to answer the clearly rhetorical questions on the event’s Facebook page, Bwog’s resident expert on both Asia […]
Oprah Winfrey, the Messiah the entertainment mogul, philanthropist, and champion of women’s empowerment is looking for a Barnard student to rep their gender on Oprah’s new show, Oprah Winfrey: the Next Chapter. This is basically The Oprah Winfrey Show (which concluded last year with absurd amounts of fanfare), except instead of in-studio guests, Oprah travels far and wide. […]
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 […]
Manhattan Wiccans prepare to launch a fundraising invasion of Union Square. (DNAinfo) A different sort of witch hunt in a different hipster park: someone is actually ticketed for smoking! (Gothamist) Prodigious birth! A ten-year-old makes a groundbreaking scientific discovery with her toy molecule kit. Guess we know who that girl will be in Gen Chem […]
The life of a second-semester senior is usually pretty relaxed—we’re nearing the time of year when you realize that you’ve wrapped up your major requirements and now are pursuing a concentration in 1020. But alas, these hazy, lazy days will soon come to an end, and there’s no better wake up call than an alarming […]
Tonight, Tyler Benedict, CC ’13, and Poet Laureate of the Columbia University Marching Band, will compete in the Jeopardy! College Championship. Slightly less obscene than Celebrity Jeopardy!, the College Championship brings together 15 college students to answer trivia and make cheesy promo videos for the chance to win $10,000. The show will air at 7:00 […]
The Columbia Culinary Society is hosting its 3rd annual Erotic Cake Competition, and they need more bakers! The competition will be held this Tuesday, the 7th of February, at 9:30 in the Satow Room. For inspiration, check out last year’s entries, and if you feel you can get up to this stimulating challenge, email culinary@columbia.edu […]
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 […]
Commercial carters mechanically recycle using shred-soak-scrub-float.

Since trash piles coincide with subway stops, subways can be used
