Barnard’s Student Government Association meets every week, and every week we send our best Barnard bear Renée Kraiem to bear witness. This is her report: Last night’s Rep Council meeting, which occurred sans administrative guest and a sizable portion of representatives celebrating the most recent Jewish holiday to fall on a Monday.

Fortunately, old man Bwog has been flying the friendly skies/riding the rails/cruising down the open road to get outta here for many […]

So you’re tired of toying around with the Bocce Ball and after “exorcizing” the Green Demon on the porcelain confessional last friday you’re not too eager to for a second taste. Pride of the The Columbia Bartending Agency Elliott Grieco mixes up something topical for this installment of Drinking with Bwog. For homecoming week, we wanted to show […]

It’s as easy as that! So easy that we feel you’ll even be able to understand if we give you directions in the form of a poorly written poem. Without further ado: Have midterms got you feeling blue? Then perhaps a small cupped cake will do. It may not help you pass, And might add […]
