Dear readers, As you may have noticed over the weekend, Bwog has received several much-needed upgrades to its publishing software. The renovations will allow us more flexibility in the site’s configuration as well as increase Bwog’s compatibility with third-party applications and search engines. Things you’ll particularly notice: Google Reader and RSS feeds will no longer […]

NAFTA weighing heavily on your mind? Alleviate your conspicuous consumption guilt at a fair-trade study break thrown by Students for Environmental and Economic Justice, at 6:00pm in Lerner’s East Ramp Lounge.  They’ll have equitably and sustainably grown and harvested tea, scones, and the like.

Ready or not (probably not), class registration begins tomorrow.  This usually means frantically clicking through SSOL, becoming dismayed at the slim pickings, and abandoning all hope of Art Hum for four different introductory Political Science lectures.

And just like that, Columbia football is off the schneid, snapping their five-game losing streak with a convincing 30-20 win over Cornell.  The team took care of the ball when they had it (just one turnover in an area that’s plagued the team all year) and forced an impressive six turnovers on defense, including four […]

The New York Post weighs in on the impending 9/11 trial with the MOST INTENSE HEADLINE EVER (see picture). Bono returns to the Op-Ed page, makes fun of self, suggests that U2’s “One” may or may not have torn down the Berlin Wall. (New York Times) No one ever said love was cheap, but this […]

Last night after an anxious wait, Bwog finally got itself off the standby list and into what can only be described as a giant gothic living room in the bell tower of Riverside Church. Liz Naiden reports on how the one-night-only “Re-Imagined” completely, er… re-thought Columbia theater as we know it. The Director’s Note on […]

Movie Man Mark Hay is back, with a vengeance. A few days ago, a Columbia professor up and decked a female co-worker in the face. Totally uncalled for, totally unexpected, and totally scintillating violence. Somehow, as a result, your reviewer has spent the past week arguing the relative merits of violence in film and the […]

The Hindu Student Organization/Ahimsa’s Diwali Celebration is sold out, but enter your name on the waitlist and you’ll still have a chance of free food come 8:00. Also, Bwogger Anish Bramhandkar hears from inside sources that eventually doors will be opened to everyone. If ye be patient, be fed! Photo via Wikimedia Commons

Mark Hay, Bwog’s Master of the Millennium Village, makes a man want to speak Spanish. No Columbia celebrity packs a room quite like Jeffrey Sachs. Invited by the young student group Delta GDP to speak on his already notorious views on development programs in impoverished nations, this brief and cursory event filled a rather uncomfortable […]
