Dropping her off at the Barnard admissions office, a mother was overheard yelling to her daughter:
“Don’t forget to tell them you went to Rwanda!”

Bwog Vermin Control Czar Jon Hill was making the rounds in Brooklyn this week when he discovered a playground full of happy little children and their parents. All seemed well until he noticed the sign hanging outside the gate.

Barnard juniors may want to stop browsing those Craigslist apartment listings.
Housing has announced in an e-mail that it will not offer rising seniors the “Senior Option,” a program that allows seniors to apply a portion of their financial aid funds toward off-campus apartment rent.
The program was designed to alleviate pressure on campus housing facilities during years when the number of rooms ran short, but Housing officials say that’s not an issue for the 2009-2010 school year.
If Barnard seniors still wish to move off-campus, May 15 is the deadline for cancellation without incurring a $1,000 fee. Just remember, commuting may be a bitch next year.
Barnard Housing’s full e-mail is after the jump. Read more…

A roving gang of mustachioed bandits invaded campus yesterday. Before they were chased off by the NYPD Special Trimming Squad, though, they got a very special photo op.
Salvador Dalí would be so proud.

Club Zamana bills itself as Columbia’s “largest South Asian organization,” and while that probably refers to membership size, it looks to be true in the poster department as well. Club members just unrolled (literally) a three-story poster in Lerner for Tamasha 2009, their annual cultural showcase which will take place in Roone Arledge on the 27th.
Zamana should be careful, though: their poster completely blocks that of the Association of Computing Machinery. This can only end in an epic throwdown.

Please pardon the late start this morning (or afternoon); after Bwog’s graciously-attended birthday party last night, we’re a little sleepy. All that Pin the Tail on the Donkey, you know.
But the news does not pause for hangovers, and Primate of the Bwogosphere Jon Hill has spotted an exciting opportunity to hear Archbishop Desmond Tutu and “bestselling historian” (and Columbia grad student of yore) Thomas Cahill “speak on the moral imperative to end the death penalty.” The talk, free and open to the public, takes place this Wednesday at 7 PM at the Riverside Church.
The discussion will focus on Cahill’s new book, A Saint on Death Row: The Story of Dominque Green (no, not the Bond villain). Green spent twelve years on death row in Texas, during which both Cahill and Tutu advocated (unsuccessfully) for him. It promises to be a thoroughly moral evening.
