Quick – get your Tamagotchi African villager avatar – lest you be trapped by your own limited, soon-to-be-obsolete pen-and-paper way of learning. Watch out for them drugs, kids! You might end up accidentally cheating by outsourcing your work to yourself. An awkwardly short list of nothing particularly awkward or noteworthy. Riot grrl#~~!!* Oh! The shame!

Thanks to one of the few female graduates in the early days of the law school, copyright law was blessed with the “fair use” clause.  Here’s to in-class movies and music. Measles, mumps, and rubella are frightening now, but as a child you would have preferred putting off your immunization visits to being saved from […]

Here’s a trippy opinion piece called “The Benefits of Smoking” that doesn’t contain a single word. [ed: Spec has, for some reason, removed this article in the last hour.] Pete Seeger lived through the 60’s. That must have been so sick, man. Wait, why was he at Teacher’s College again? No one will ever suspect […]

The real world media reveals that Columbia’s full of denial this week. The Alps don’t exist.  Really? Bananas aren’t blue.  Really! Traylessness isn’t all that bad.  Obviously. The drug war isn’t publicized enough.  Irresponsibly. CU Med school doesn’t get questionable donations?  Honestly!

An anonymous tipster spotted the pictured stack of books in the Butler computer lab. “If only my finals were this interesting!” he laments.  The books include: Cannabis Culture Marijuana Marijuana-The New Prohibition Sexual Power of Marijuana Man and Marijuana Marihuana Reconsidered Marihuana Papers Bitter Pill Birth Control From Private Vice to Public Virtue New Concepts […]

Two Bwoggers report on a disturbing journey to the center of the mind… Our reasons for doing Salvia had as much to do with irony as they did with recreation. Free of associations with the 1960s counterculture, the perfectly legal psychoactive escaped the social retrenchment our nation experienced during the 70s and 80s. So while […]

For anyone who’s spent any time at Columbia beyond Days on Campus or a guided tour, this article says nothing new. The Arkansas kid who claims that Adderall users are “nonstinky,” however, has clearly not been in an environment (read: Butler) where a thousand souls are pulling their second all-nighters with the aid of their favorite speed-like […]

Columbia-sponsored high school, created as Manhattanville quid pro quo, evicted, now homeless: ironic? CU formally apologizes to Minutemen: reactions predictable Barnard career services better than Columbia’s…unless you want to be a bartender Speaking of which: bars crack down on legal IDs, but hire illegal bouncers Revelation of the day: “in certain cases drug use destroys […]

While you’re in Butler cramming — or simply shitfaced at 1020 — your university is actively engaging with that frightening specter beyond the 116th Street Gates: the wide, weird world. Below, Bwog presents some of the most recent (yet unheralded!) findings and goings on from the realm of science and technology to have occurred at Columbia over the last few […]

Columbia’s myriad of research institutes helped Bwog to realize that not only will studying PE or blebs in college prove fruitful some day, but that every research, however small, can be funded if need be. Even if you have to ask reactionary drug war people for the money. A few favorite centers: Center for the […]

Looks like Dean Quigley’s 10th Anniversary Dance Party, scheduled for 9pm this Wednesday, is going to have a change of venue. Quigo’s club of choice, the Avalon, has been shut down as part of a city-wide bust for narcotics. Ecstasy, to be specific. From the beginning we thought there was something a little fishy about […]

In CCSC’s weekly email to the Columbia College student body: ______________________________ ___________________ 1. FREE FOOD tonight 2. Dean’s Day Closing Reception 3. Run for Student Council 4. How do you feel about Coke? 5. CC/Lit Hum Graduate Student (Preceptor) Teaching Award 6. Columbia College Days is coming. . . 7. Housing Satisfaction Survey 8. Party […]

On Tuesday, we reported the latest scourge to hit the Columbia campus. But almost as soon as the dust settled on the DEA raid of Morton Williams, there appeared to be a new epidemic in town. Our agent overheard the following conversation in Wallach: Boy #1: Was it you who tried to snort pop rocks? […]

Residential Programs Associate Director Hikaru Kozuma during RA interviews: Guys, Doritoes are like orange crack, they are so addictive. Innocent RA: How do you know about crack? Ah, Columbia. Grooming the next generation of Washington D.C. mayors. – Nishant Dixit

A man in the field reports that while he was making a mess of trying to put together a John Jay ‘fajita’ with Dining Services’ rather weak tortillas, a fellow behind him remarked to a friend, “You know, more people really ought to smoke weed. Then they’d know how to wrap these things properly.”
