Hold onto your basketball-shaped butts, because it’s time for Basketball Mania. On Thursday at 8:30 pm, the student councils will combine forces to host Columbia’s biggest pep rally of the year. Basketball Mania is a spirited mix of performing arts, pump-up music, and atrocious line dancing. The Lions won’t host a game in Levien Gymnasium […]

Did you miss all the fun cheer last night? The ever peppy Ross Chapman has a roundup of the Mania of last night.  Fans filled the second floor lobby of the Dodge Fitness Center an hour before the event began. The entirety of Levien’s western bleachers became packed with students. The first 100 fans got […]

Bwog’s SGA correspondent Renée Kraiem brings you the latest on costume contests, bureaucratic shakeups, and campus events, not-quite-live from the Diana. At last night’s meeting, the Colombian dancers emerged victorious from the Rep Council’s Inaugural Costume Contest. Madeline, Nicky Minaj and Gilly from Saturday Night Live also made surprise appearances. The SGA is getting a new VP […]

CCSC battled it out in the Satow Room. Maren Killackey lived to tell the tale. VP Funding Kevin Zhai solicited proposals from the Council for changes to the Lerner SGO (Student Government Office) space. Among the top suggestions were “bright colors,” “fish tank,” “really fun couches,” “nothing,” and “get rid of that weird computer bay.” It […]
