WBAR Showcase 2010

Friday night at the Diana Event Oval, Bwog joined pleasantly not-that-sparse ranks of WBAR fans to see its showcase of campus bands. It was fun! The line-up featured a mix of styles, and included both undergrads and grad students:

Puppy Cops
Mike Ferraro & The Young Republicans
Cloudlicker
Dr. Blount
Tetractys

If your band is interested in playing on campus, or would like to get involved with WBAR, e-mail wbar@barnard.edu.

The 8th Annual Fun Run – Now with Captions!

Hundreds of eager Columbians joined President Bollinger early this morning for the 8th Annual Fun Run, a spirited 5K jaunt through Riverside Park. The wannabe Olympians began the run on College Walk, headed south to the 96th street tennis courts, and turned back to the finish line where they were greeted by a resplendent view of New Jersey. The T-shirts were free; the body odor was legendary.

Though most of us are apt to ignore anything that happens at 8:30 am, this year’s Fun Run was very successful, with beautiful weather and participation to boot. At least one member of the cross country team set a new personal record for the 5K, several men over the age of fifty proved that they were still faster than many college students, and—most importantly—much fun was had by all. Bwog Sweatiness Bureau Chief (and new daily editor) Dan Flicker was there, camera in hand, to chronicle the event:

LectureHop: Columbia Palestine Forum

 Graphic used by Adalah New York speakers

Bwog’s Liz Naiden squeezed into Hamilton 517 early for the Columbia Palestine Forum.

Eager throngs crowded closer to the door and looked longingly into a small Hamilton classroom where the Columbia Palestine Forum was about to commence (Columbia Palestine Forum being both the name of the event and the group that sponsored it). Quick background: the group demands (among other items) that Columbia issue a declaration of support for academic freedom in Palestine, “condemn the destructive actions of the Israeli state,” and hold “an open forum detailing its investments in companies and corporations actively involved in or profiting from the Israeli occupation, to begin a conversation University-wide conversation about divestment.” 

The four-professor panel (Gil Andijar, Bruce Robbins, Brinkley Messick, and Mahmood Mamdani) mainly addressed issues of academic freedom, how universities are involved in governmental and military policy, and the application of the term “apartheid” to the situation in Israel and Palestine. Anidjar opened with a discussion about the relationship between boycotting and freedom, ultimately agreeing with the US government�s view that boycotting is a legitimate way to promote and exercise freedom.
