Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary on DIY […]
Reflect on the lessons you learned in your Art Hum, Lit Hum, CC and Frontiers classes today. Everything is relevant! The logic in these Filipino women’s attempts to bring peace sounds all too familiar. (Gawker) Perhaps you might suggest a tour through Riverside Park’s underground Freight Train tunnel as a potential Art Hum field trip. […]
Bill O’Reilly can have his war on Christmas, but here at Columbia a long-smoldering war has been newly stoked —the war on smoking. For millennia, men, and then most recently women, had lounged inside the confines of Butler Library relaxedly puffing away towards a state of greater tasty tobacco-scented peacefulness and pseudo-philosophical coolness. First they kicked […]
Admit it. You’re a little jealous of those elusive few with summer transfer housing who now get to shack up in one of the frat-houses-cum-dormitories on 114th.

Update: Tipsters tell Bwog that there was a Federation of Black Cowboys parade in Harlem today. While Bwog can’t independently confirm that claim, it sure makes for a great story. Update 2: The Federation of Black Cowboys accidentally loosed one of their horses around 110th and Broadway. No one was hurt. All the pretty horses […]
And stop on by the Bwog meeting tonight if you’re interested in contributing (writing, photographing, doodling, idea pitching, free food eating). Festivities begin at 7pm in the SGO on Lerner 5. There will be food. O from Wikimedia Commons
After you’ve bounced around College Walk amiably signing up for several dozen club listservs, there comes a point when you regret reckless innocence. Now you have 40 extra emails a day that you might have read during NSOP, but now you just don’t have time to care about capoeira or Parliamentary Debate. Department listservs can be […]
