A few days ago, we received a lengthy tip from a “Randall Owen” allegedly detailing the planning and culmination of a large scale prank on an ignorant EC suite. One of the members of the suite, after his roommate graduated this past semester, conspired with his RA and his impending roommate to create “Randall” under the pretense that […]

Have you ever wondered how you can take control of your local сове́т—err, student council, rather? Do you ever pay attention to your college’s elected council members and think “This is ridiculous, I could do that under budget and ahead of schedule!”? Well, over years of acquiring and consolidating information about Columbia’s political arena, we’ve acquired […]

When you saw this, you probably wondered “What are ‘Dante’s Laurels?” And if you’re SEAS or Barnard, you probably just analyzed that vague name “Dante”. And just to lap the entire Columbia circle, if you’re GS, you’re probably analgesic over us kids talking naughtily about your old Patroclean buddy. Regardless, during stressful times like these it’s often easy to forget that Columbia […]

From time to time, we like to arrange the various elements of Columbia life into a ranking of sorts, dividing the good from the bad, and the beautiful from the unseemly. In the light of Delta Gamma’s latest successful iteration of their philanthropic Anchor Splash, we felt it necessary to rank the public showcases contained in the […]

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 […]

Sure, when you didn’t fill out your course evals earlier tonight, we thought you were at 1020 and just couldn’t do it. Even at 3 AM, we thought, hey, maybe they’re still out trying to have a fun night, who are we to remind them about something so extraneous but simple. But it’s 5 AM […]

Hey, you haven’t done your course evaluations yet. We reminded you about three hours ago, but you must not have seen it…right? You didn’t see that reminder, did you? Yeah, of course—what are we saying! You’re still at 1020, enjoying a second night off during Reading Week. That’s why we just want to remind you again […]

Hey guys, we know that finals are among us and if you’re not passed out, in a booth at 1020, trying to study, or doing some mixture of the three, you should fill out your course evaluations. While the evals will appear “anonymous” to your professors, they can still read what you write. So don’t go […]

Events Editor Finn Klauber viewed the inception of the 1st Annual Varsity Show Art Exhibit/Prank on the plinth of Henry Moore’s soon-to-be-installed statue. Here is Bwog’s review of the installation, as well as Klauber’s comments on the piece. Note: To maintain the degree of independent artistic production which the members of Varsity Show require to create and install such pieces, we highly suggest future Varsity Show […]

It’s that time of night–when the moody and lonely Columbia student within you comes out, and you decide to drunkenly take a walk to “clear your head” or whatever. Here’s a playlist for lying(/meditating/crying/sobering up) on the sundial. Try to refrain from shouting “Take me now!” to the heavens (been there, done that). Kifak Inta by […]
