A short and historical appreciation for Columbia Football as well as your friendly reminder to COME TO THE GAME THIS WEEKEND.

Won’t find these in the bookstore but there’s no better way to show spirit.

Some may choose to sport a CU t-shirt. Some may opt for a Millie sticker on their laptop case. But what about the bright-eyed, first-semester first-year who spots a bedazzled Barnard thong in the bookstore and decides to show their school spirit in a more intimate fashion? That first year was me, and I’m here to tell you all about […]

If you’ve been to a big basketball game this season, you may have seen a group of students in camo shirts surrounded by yellow caution tape standing at the front of the student section. To explain this occurrence, Bwog’s sports editor and resident Roar-ee Ross Chapman sat down with Harrison Shih (’16), a member of […]

It’s Columbia’s pep rally Overheard: “We have a mascot?”

Bwog isn’t really clear on exactly what Basketball Mania is, but we hear there will be free things in a heated building so we’re interested. Head to Dodge tonight to pick up a free long sleeve T-shirt, see performances by groups like the hip hop dance crew, Raw Elementz, and most likely partake in some […]

Registration is open, the freshpeople are settling in, and the sun is sort of shining. Convocation’s cancellation means the lawns are more luscious than ever, so go loll about while you can. Here’s to another splendid and occasionally trying year. We missed you very much!  

In perhaps the most confusing 30 minutes of campus tradition in history, both the pillow fight and Primal Scream overlapped. Though purists waited until 11:59 pm to start, zealous first years joined the fray as early as 11:30 pm. Even a few of the dedicated bodies in the reference room rose from their seats to […]

GHR was pretty much the predictable mixture of highs (warm chocolate cupakes), lows (the speakeasy was predictably out of booze pretty early, but what else did we really expect?) and apathy (traffic on the ramps in between performances was surprisingly orderly, regulated by CCSC-members wielding fancy walkie talkies). Most guests had clearly pregamed event, if […]

For those of you not in the know, this weekend is Columbia’s Homecoming. This means there is free food! Head over to College Walk at 2 p.m. for the Baker County State Fair, a.k.a. Columbia’s Homecoming pep rally. The event will feature FREE funnel cake, cotton candy, and popcorn, in addition to a whole host […]

Dying to hit up Fashion’s Night Out and ogle at clothing worth more than your tuition, but too lazy to head all the way downtown? No worries, the Columbia Bookstore’s got your back. To celebrate Fashion Week, the bookstore will debut its new School House Rock collection. Apparently, “campus pride is always fashionable.” The House […]

The Class of 2014 has begun to trickle in. Bwog extends a warm welcome to the COÖP fresh-people currently spending their first night at Columbia sleeping under the huge Convocation tent on South Lawn. Bwog found COÖP leaders and freshmen in a semi-circle on the lawn this evening, singing “Roar, Lion, Roar” together. One “fearless […]

Happy Barnard Spirit Day! Highlights include an I <3 BC t-shirt sale ($8 each), a barbecue, cotton candy, and a Biggest Barnard Fan trivia contest for non-Barnardians. Beacon of Campus Spirit Hannah Goldstein reports tons of people are out and about, enjoying the festivities despite bouts of rain. Don’t spend all your spirited energies at […]

New York Magazine’s College Hoops Road Trip around NYC concluded on Saturday at the Men’s Basketball game against Princeton. While their reporter was not overwhelmed by the quality of play (awarded 5 out of 10), they were terrifically impressed by Columbia’s school spirit, rating it 10 out of 10, and stating: “Columbia wins this category. […]
