Spring is upon us (which does not explain the pumpkin in the picture, but stick with us here), and, hand in hand with the warm and the wet come a New York City tradition: flashers.
Yesterday, Barnard Public Safety sent out yet another of its “Crime Alert” bulletins warning students of “Public Lewdness” in Riverside Park. According to Bwog’s Unofficial Flasher E-Mail Counter (trademark pending), that makes three since warm weather began in late April.
While Riverside Park has a better reputation than that park your mom made you promise not to visit, Barnard students have been falling prey to its seediness since March. Remember, girls and boys, that the best way to protect yourself is “CONSTANT VIGILANCE.” Full email after the jump.
Dear Barnard Community,
On Friday,May 8, 2009 at approximately 5:30 pm, two B/C students were in Riverside Park near West 113 Street when a male exposed himself. The students left the area and called Public Safety.BCPS notified the NYPD to respond.Any suspicious activity or incidents of this nature call 911 immediately.

@Wonderful Amazing photo, Bwog. Trick or treat, indeed.
@i probably should have said treat. or wait, should i have said trick? shit, which one involves you not exposing yourself to me?
@lol i like the sexual imagery in the title of this post
@yeeahh... can we also stop Public Safety officers from following girls home then asking for their number and if they’d like to go out sometime?
Creepy much?
@Rational Being To be fair, it was sunny yesterday and no one wants tan lines.
@Anonymous Flashing a Barnard girl is like throwing a rock at Hiroshima. The damage has already been done, stop trying so hard.
@no, definitely the medieval instrument. just think of the character it would lend the neighborhood.
@solution instead of whistles, barnard should hand out mace (the pepper, not the medieval instrument)
@please stop please stop posting about barnard. this is a columbia blog. thanks.
@fucker ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
@oh right ignore the troll, please move along.
@yes and guess what school is part of Columbia?
@cc'10 i fully concur.
@also cc'10 except it happened anonymously at riverside park, not on barnard’s campus. so we should assume that crimes that happen to barnard student in this neighborhood, or any students for that matter, are not worth reporting? ya’ll are self-indulgent tools.
@bc '09 Agreed. We are closer to Riverside, and therefore are more likely to spend time in the park, but the whole neighborhood uses it.
Also, I replied to that email asking if they had a description of the suspect since it’s now happened THREE times, and they never responded. Public Safety is proving to be a waste of money more and more each time something like this happens.
@The flasher is a 4’11, hispanic male in his 50s, according to the posters in Milbank Hall.
@ummm Riverside Park is a public park under the auspices of the NYPD and the Parks Department. Why would anyone think that campus security has any responsibility for anything that happens there?
@oh my that is the best picture I’ve ever seen, Bwog. Thank you
@blasphemous! bwog, are you implying that it’s unnatural to drop your pants in front of a barnard girl?
@a flashee I hate you all.
