Betsy Ladyzhets and Brent Morden do a lot of things together: organize an honor band, co-sign emails, have a dinner meeting in the Diana without actually eating dinner because Brent is going to Ferris later. So, we thought it would make sense to also post their personals together, in the first post of our annual […]

Happening in the World: In Russia, Vladimir Putin is basically running for president against himself, and seems poised for reelection on March 15. The Kremlin is struggling to make the campaign interesting, however; current organizations attempting to “generate buzz” include “I Really Like Putin!”, “For Putin!”, and “Putin Team.” (NYT) Happening in the US: An Amtrak engineer in […]

Tonight, 9pm, Lerner 510. We hope to see you at Bwog’s weekly meeting! Not only will you get to hang out with some of Morningside’s finest, but you’ll also be able to eat your worries away with some delicious TJs goodies. Like usual, we’ll be discussing pitches, passing around snacks, and getting on with business. We love […]

You heard right–the coolest club on campus, the one you’ve been dying to join, is finally having an open meeting! For pre-frosh, your faithful companion during NSOP and before is finally seeking your help to come join. For everyone else, sophomores and beyond (even GS geezers!), we want you too! Now’s your chance. Tonight at […]

In a passionate Op-Ed, Christopher Suprun, a Republican Texas presidential elector, announced he will not be submitting his vote to elect Donald Trump. Disappointed that Trump does not believe in Reagan’s “shining city on the hill” model, which Suprun forgets most people don’t believe in, his argument went the way of Reagan’s heart and film career. (NY […]

With midterms making us sometimes feel we are surrounded by grade-obsessed zombies, it can be difficult to remember our student body is filled with incredible people using their talent to help others. Peter Kiernan represents a perfect example of the reminder we need.  In 22 days, the fate of our country will be decided through the selection of our […]

Today is Saturday, your break from a long week of sneaking fragrant Spaghetti Meatball HamDel sandwiches in Ref Room. Go outside and enjoy the weather! It’s not supposed to rain today; instead, the humidity will be at 93% without a chance of any sunshine all day.  Bwogline: KFC has officially launched its campaign for edible fingernail polish […]

We tend to see upperclassmen – whether friends, acquaintances, or those we admire from afar – as having all the answers. Sure, seniors have a lot to say, and some of it might actually hold some truth. After all, they have made it through almost four years here at Columbia, and we can assume that […]

Ever since a certain CC student went to Hewitt for the first time, Bwog staff has been debating the campus salad bars. The aforementioned CC senior ardently declared that Hewitt’s vegetables are, in fact, the best, while a Barnard student shot back that Ferris has a far superior vegetable selection. Apparently school affiliation had no […]

Real Women, Real Voices provides female prisoners and their affected families with a forum to humanize incarcerated people and the issues they face. Yesterday, an event was held at the Columbia Law School where several women spoke on their experiences. When grouped with clouds, rain, and chilling temperatures, midterms can easily rob students of the […]

Ever had the urge to mercilessly roast the Columbia community? Have big dreams of one day achieving a level of self-deprecating humor comparable to ours at Bwog? Did you read Aziz Ansari’s new book and think “psh. I can write better jokes than this clown” (keep dreaming, kiddo)? Swing by the 122nd Annual Varsity Show […]

It’s a Monday afternoon. Bwog is advertising for club meetings other than their own on a day other than Sunday. We want to show our once-mother publication some love, and we welcome you to show it some love as well at their final Spring 2015 meeting tonight at 9 pm in the crypt of St. Paul’s Chapel. Though it’s […]

Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox played for an empty stadium. The current riots in Baltimore lead to the closure of the park to the public. The players were left to play in an incredibly somber environment. The Orioles prevailed for their city winning 8-2. (Bleacher Report) Uber is suing the city […]

As the entitled undergraduates that we are, we might think that valuable wisdom rests only in the hands of our fellow classmates. They’ve successfully wafted through their time here at Columbia, they understand what it’s like to be the small species in the big university kingdom, and we one day hope to be as cool […]

Hillary finally hit the campaign trail on Monday! Like any normal human being she got hungry and obviously wanted Chipotle (a woman after our own heart). It is reported that not a single person in the Ohio Chipotle recognized her. Bwog could probably spot Hillary from a mile away… (CNN) Paula Deen, after a run in with racism and diabetes, […]
