Just a quick reminder that today is the last to apply for a Blue and White senior editorship.  And both the magazine and Bwog are always looking for new contributors and friends, etc. Application after the jump.

Columbia’s undergraduate monthly (and Bwog’s benevolent guardian and namesake) The Blue and White is currently accepting applications for senior editorships. The application and information about the position are after the jump. And remember, both the magazine and Bwog are always looking for new writers, graphic designers, artists, editors, those with financial and technological know-how and […]

Bwog tipster Sara Vogel informs us that Robert Thurman, professor of Buddhist studies and relative of all sorts of famous people, is this week’s New York Times Magazine “Questions For…” interviewee. In the interview, Thurman talks about why the Dalai Lama never comes over to hang out anymore, totally disses Slavoj Zizek, and also at […]

Two years ago, Blue and White writer Amanda Erickson presciently profiled ’08 valedictorian Maxim Pinkovskiy. But don’t show this article to your parents–they’ll probably trade you back to the stork for a child like Maxim. “He’s always right. Not almost always. Always,” says his former Professor Xavier Sala-i-Martin. Every student in his macro class last year […]

The Blue and White is pleased as punch to commandeer the Bwog airwaves for a moment in order to announce the launch of our new site, designed by the ever-brilliant Mr. Robert Stenson, Esq.

The February issue is nigh, but a teaser is hither. You may have seen them walking together down Low steps, just a hair’s length closer than the average pair of professional colleagues. Maybe you sat next to them at Brownie’s, the architecture school’s classy alternative to Ferris Booth, as they nibbled on croissants and talked […]

Tonight marks the first Blue and White and Bwog meetings of the semester. Come to St. Paul’s chapel basement at 9:30 PM to pitch stories for the March issue, perhaps engage in a game of Pokey, and meet our new editor-in-chief Anna Phillips and managing editor Katie Reedy. Bwog also hears rumors of ginger snaps.  […]

The magazine will be posted online later tonight, but for those brave enough to emerge from Butler, the print version is already scattered around campus. Emmy and Pulitzer winning playwright Tony Kushner, CC ‘78, had to cancel our first interview when the Writers Guild of America strike called him to the picket lines. When we […]

9:00 PM! BWOG TURNS ONE! THE WEST END! With that Tourettically over with, a quick self-absorbed indulgence. The Bwog started as a mere twinkle in the eye of the staff of The Blue and White. Editors had been kicking around the idea of as website for awhile, but opinions on how we should present its […]

Huzzah! The February issue is online, on this very website, and in fact the link that is linked here is also on the left of your page.
