The prolonging of Frontiers, student honor boards, and serving alcohol to freshmen – it’s all in this week’s CCSC report: In typical Yang-era fashion, the meeting opened with a series of brief announcements. VP for Finance Nuriel Moghavem told the council that student groups wishing to use the Black Box Theater have to put various […]
During our time at Columbia, most of us meet one or two group leaders, student government presidents, star athletes, and the like. But there are many Columbians whose profiles are lower, yet their talents are just as (or even more) awesome. Here’s our recurring feature devoted to those students: this time, we present Taylor Chaintreuil, […]

In the past, Bwog’s been content to draw on the resources of first Google Image Search and later (upon learning of a strange term known as “copyright”) Flickr. But not everything postable has had the good graces to be preserved […]
While Mother Nature’s doing her darnedest to usher in the start of winter, ESC wants us to know that it is in fact still fall. They’re throwing an apple-themed study break at 4:00pm in Lerner 569–head on over for everyone’s favorite fall fruit in candied, pie, cider, or just-off-the-tree form.

Another day, another scandalized hedge fund—but this one’s got a funky fresh hip dope rap song! (New York Post) Relax—you’re probably not late for your train. (New York Times) Conan O’Brien settles the feud nobody knew he had with Newark, New Jersey, because the city’s just too darn charming to stay mad at. (Gothamist) A […]
