Old-Fashioned Columbia Fashion, Or The 1950′s Really Were Exactly Like Grease

By Bwog Staff on Sep 08, 2010 4 Comments

So this popped up on our radar a few weeks ago from the questionably titled blog The Art of Manliness.

Dear Bwog: Cruisin’ for a Crew Edition

By Bwog Staff on Sep 08, 2010 8 Comments

Dear Bwog, I don’t mean to sound obnoxious, but people here aren’t as cultured as I expected. No one shares my music taste or gets my quirky brand of humor. It’s not that I’m so sophisticated or anything; there’s just some basic knowledge I assumed people had. I guess I just haven’t met people on […]

The Bwog editors didn’t take the summer off! Here are the highlights from when you were reading People instead of Bwog these past few months. GS Valedictorian Brian Corman “borrowed” a joke from a comedian in his speech. The 2011 Class Council used an idea from V116 for a new freshman initiative. F@CU announced its […]

Ain’t No Party Like A B-School Party

By Bwog Staff on Sep 07, 2010 3 Comments

B-School party outside Schermerhorn! Empanadas, asparagus in filo, tons of alcohol, fancy waiters, lots of ambition. There are legitimate ropes and officious B-school employees telling you not to eat the food. So just walk around those officious employees and take the food.
