Should you stay or should you go? Well, if that’s not a rhetorical question and you’re asking about Orgo Night, the answer is: go! Tonight at 11:59 pm precisely, all hell will break loose in Butler 209: CUMB is putting on its 69th “semi-annual” Orgo Night show/demonstration/what have you. Bwog will be there, of course, […]

While Butler reeks of stress and procrastination (and also genuine butt), CUMB has perfumed our moods with some comedic relief by releasing some of the second round of Orgo Night posters. There is a notable absence of highly offensive jokes–are CUMB and controversy on a hiatus? Regardless, we’re sure they’ll be back together this Thursday at 11:59 […]

This morning, we woke up to cars honking, New Yorkers shouting, and the first round of posters for Orgo Night – the Marching Band’s semiannual panel discussion on everything wrong with Columbia right now, featuring music that was popular three years ago. Orgo Night will be held (as per tradition) at 11:59pm the night before finals […]

We sent two freshman to Orgo Night. Like most wild freshman experiences, it was simply sweaty people crowded into a small space. But what did they think of CUMB’s “jokes” and “music?” Read about it here. Immediately upon entering Butler 209 on Orgo Night, Bwog made enemies—we endured looks of revulsion from displaced studiers, knocked over […]

Want to partake in some late night ~discourse~ with the social justice warriors on your newsfeed? Bwog has got you covered. Take a quick study break and check out our full coverage of Orgo Night: the Columbia University Marching Band’s semi-annual performance in Butler 209 on the night before the Organic Chemistry exam. You can also read through the official transcript below. Be […]

Tonight, we celebrate the student body and the school as best we know with free (FREE!) pre-finals food and free (FREE!) offense given to everything and everybody! At exactly midnight, the Columbia University Marching Band will erupt into Butler 209 for the 62nd consecutive, 69th semi-annual Orgo Night. We don’t really know if the aim to […]

The second (and more controversial) round of Orgo Night posters have hit Butler bulletin boards (you can look at the first round of posters here). As one would expect, the posters contain Donald Trump jokes (Is he still funny? The world seems undecided), a play on Hotline Bling’s album art, and yet another reference to […]

It’s that time of year again folks: the Columbia University Marching Band has released their first round of flyers for this year’s Fall Orgo Night taking place December 16th at 11:59PM in Butler 209. While these posters are definitely less controversial than those of previous years, we expect the event itself to maintain its usual level of offense. As always, Bwog plans […]

The Blue and White just released their November issue of the mag online last night, and we’re posting a few of the pieces throughout the week. First, we bring you a piece by Editor-in-chief Hallie Nell Swanson on the language of safety on campus. This summer, a series of articles released in mainstream media outlets […]

Did you get so caught up in studying for your CC final/reorganizing your entire wardrobe (dammit, Adderall!) that you missed Orgo Night? We scoped out Butler 209 early and got a good seat just so we could bring you the recap. We walked into 209 at 11:25 last night, and it was a lot quieter […]

This week is a toxic mix for our productivity: it’s beautiful out, yet there is so much to be done before we can bask in the sunlight forever. It seems like we can’t do one without sacrificing the other, because there aren’t enough (any) outlets in the great outdoors to keep your computer charged long […]

In honor of Orgo Night, we thought it would be fitting to feature some CUMBers in today’s senior wisdoms. First, we bring you former Orgo Night writer and Spectator columnist, Ziyad Abdelfattah. Name, School, Major, Hometown: Ziyad Abdelfattah, Columbia College, Political Science + Music, Berkeley, CA. Claim to fame: I did Orgo Night a couple of times, […]

Following what we can now fortunately consider to be a regrettable preview, we are pleased to announce the official Spring 2015 Columbia University Marching Band Orgo Night event posters, sure to join their predecessors in offending and inspiring those portions of campus that will still give a shit amongst finals. CUMB one CUMB all, Thursday, 11:55, in […]

You know it’s an interesting SGA meeting when Deborah Spar says, “This is the point in the conversation where I usually have to turn to my lawyer.” Not to worry, though, Barnard’s favorite celebrity is legally in the clear. Her lawyer comment came in response to a question about the line between students and the […]

Behold this year’s Orgo Night promotion. For public opinion, try the comment section, where we are sure it will be expressed eloquently and respectfully as always. As for Bwog’s view, well, we will say only that this is the first semester we are scheduling in a regular slot what we have always considered breaking news. We […]
