Columbia students have seen their fair share of preposterous posters. Here a few new ones that either made us laugh, cry, or just shake our heads. Oh, the minuteness of it all…

Yesterday, it was warm and sunny. People were smiling, laughing, and sitting on the steps. Love was in the air. Today, it is cold and windy—it even flurried a little this morning! Instead of lounging outside, people are now defecting to Butler. These changes in weather have left Bwog feeling a little confused. Oh Spring, […]

In the battle between brains and brawn, Bwog’s been choosing brains a lot lately (mostly because we’re too lazy to hit the gym). But really, many important lectures have been taking place recently, and we’ve been doing our best to keep you in the know. On Wednesday, many gathered in Sulzberger Parlor to hear NYU professor […]

Some nights, Butler goggles just don’t cut it. Certain Butler 209 residents have declared a moratorium on “butt-ugly” boys, relegating them to the infamous Butler 4th floor. To the aesthetically-challenged, consider yourself warned. Bwog suggests that those deprived of Butler eye candy just get out of Butler and ask someone on a date!

Update (02/20): the changes in this post reflect amendments made by Professor Silver and communicated to Bwog this morning Bwog just received the following e-mail: Professor Allan Silver asked that this faculty-signed statement in support of ROTC at Columbia be distributed: http://advocatesforrotc.org/columbia/2011faculty.pdf Prof Silver said signatories were limited to full professors, faculty members with full-time appointments, though other […]

Unless you’ve lived in NYC your whole life, being at Columbia can make you forget about a skill that probably defined your suburban adolescence—driving. This Bwogger certainly misses the days spent zooming through her neighborhood and blasting the Top 40 tunes that everyone only pretends to hate. But unfortunately, driving isn’t always exciting as it […]

It’s a meaty Bwoglines today, but real things are happening, and we gotta keep you informed! The Department of City Planning has given Columbia’s new Baker Field plan 11-1 approval, allowing it to reserve only 1.5 percent of its property to public waterfront access instead of the usual 15 percent. Because the Inwood Community Board […]

Hi all, Over the past week, we’ve been flooded with personals submissions and nominations. Love is in the air…or somewhere. Anyways, we’ve really enjoyed playing cupid, but now it’s time to put down the bow and arrow. Personals get kinda boring after a while, and we can’t afford to keep shelling out $10. All is […]

Tonight, Lerner Party Space will hold its second drag-themed dance of the year (so far), the Fantasy Ball! The Fantasy Ball is part of IvyQ 2011, a conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied students from across the Ivy League hosted by Columbia this weekend. IvyQ includes lots of interesting conferences and seminars on […]

In the lobby of a building, a fancily-clad gaggle of students walks by: Security guard: “I just got one thing to say—seven foot champagne glass jacuzzi.” Students: “This guy knows what’s up.”

We did it with Joe and now we’re doing it with the new Indian food truck. We invite you to enjoy the annals of Bwog’s weeklong experience of Desi… Noob: “I ordered a chicken kati roll and had them put the spicy sauce on it, and I thought it was pretty damn good.  The chicken […]

In the spirit of Enlightenment salons from centuries past, we present the latest installment of BwogSalon. Below, check out an excerpt from Evan Madeo’s article from the latest issue of Publius: The Undergraduate Journal of Politics at Columbia University. Madeo examines the history of unemployment benefits, finding that they were only intended to supplement the once-generous benefits […]
