It’s the beginning of week three, and we’re already tired of acting all serious to impress our shopping-period professors. Some spent the weekend channelling their inner kid, from Harambe Night at Mel’s (why) to playing dress up. Others spent the weekend trying to move on up, past university, and trying their hands at typical adult behavior. It […]

What: Yoga When: Tuesday’s at 6pm (now until October 11th) Where: South Lawns, Butler Library (rain location: Dodge Fitness Center, Blue Gym) Why: Because this is an Ivy so there’s an inherent assumption that everyone’s stressed? Seems fake but okay. The Office of University Life at Columbia has partnered with Columbia Physical Education & Recreation, the Columbia […]
The Emmy Awards were last night, and while Game of Thrones and SNL took home awards, Lemonade did not, so what’s the point? Regardless, the biggest disappointment of the night was the quality of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which sucked according to Gerrick D. Kennedy. (LA Times) Watch Bill De Blasio answer why Citi Bike stations […]
The eighth floor of Butler is most commonly viewed among Columbia’s undergraduate population as Butler’s wasteland—private graduate student carrels line the hall like sepulchers, screaming uniformity and academic browbeating. But while the finer advantages of Butler 8 may not include earning precious Butler social capital, precocious grad students—and perhaps some adventurous undergraduates—voice their frustration by inscribing marginalia upon the padded carrel […]
On Friday night, First-Years S$, L$, and Y$, chaperoned by a Senior Staffer (henceforth referred to as Editor), headed to 1020 for an open-to-close adventure: 4:00 pm to 4:00 am. In their bags were half-done homework assignments, the Iliad, Sappho’s “If Not, Winter”, a condom, and a single iPhone charger. The events that ensued are […]

After a free-tampon saga prompted by a Spec op-ed, Columbia College Student Council has announced new details regarding the program. There was a commotion after a student posted in the Columbia Class of 2017 group after Health Services refused to give them free tampons this fall. Last night, a source told Bwog that CCSC President Nicole […]

29 people were injured by a seemingly intentional explosion last night around 9 pm in Chelsea.
