Wondering what’s going to happen to Tiffany Dockery’s former University Senate seat? According to CCSC bylaws, the Council will select a new Senator to occupy the seat for the rest of Dockery’s term via nominations from the student body.A nominee must then win 2/3 of the vote of the Council, and voila, a Senator is […]

Bwog has a penchant for corralling disparate topics under the umbrella of broad themes.  Here’s what happened this week. NROTC continues to haunt us.  The survey came and went for Columbia and Barnard and everyone had a problem with it.  The GSSC President was politely disagreed with the outcome. And Bwog tried to decipher the […]

Although Hawkmadinebwog does not profess to be the highest authority on raptors, we have recently made the informed decision to call Hawkmadinejad by female pronouns. There is no absolute way for us to tell if the campus hawk is male or female other than DNA sex testing or actually watching Hawkma mate or lay an […]

When released last Monday, it was unclear how the NROTC results would affect the University Senate proceeding with the issue. Not only were the results controversially tallied, but they were not broken down for three of the four schools (Barnard being the exception).  However, Council and Senate sources confirm to Bwog that NROTC will not […]

Bwog has a paper due tomorrow but is spending time on Facebook instead.  And, lo, Sir Zuckerberg’s creation led us to another way to procrastinate. Tonight, CCSC (of the freshman and senior variety) will be hosting Midnight Milkshakes: free chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and Oreo dreams in John Jay Lounge tonight from 11:00 PM until 1:00 […]

In the midst of finals, inclement weather and many sugary holiday indulgences, a general regard for one’s physical appearance tends to decline. Although this time of year challenges the integrity of even the most savvy of style savants, here at Columbia, fashion perseveres.  That said, Columbians are always a sensible set.  Given the current combination […]

Exciting news for fans of the Hawkmadinebwog: your winged hero is now on Facebook! United in Fear and Awe of Hawkmadinejad is our official hawk fansite, which you are all invited to join. We’ll keep the group updated with pictures, videos, and lively discussion of all the terrible squirrel violence that’s happening right here, at […]

Here is their mothership and its adjoining, exploratory cruiser, which is a trusty gray van named “Microwave Satellite Technologies Inc.”  Both satellite and van were abandoned, so the reasons for their visit are unknown. Maybe Bollinger just wanted to get a really good picture for Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

From New York City, this is AltSpec, in which we collect references to Alma Mater’s dubious deeds in the wider world.  This week, while we’re all burrowed deep in Butler, the outside world is busy pointing fingers.  A smörgåsbord of topics and lots of straight talk. Jonathan Last’s column in The Weekly Standard has been […]

Oh well, seasons greetings everyone! The holidays have truly begun here at Columbia, as snow fun took a classically phallic turn. Masterful, simply masterful. Thanks to Mason Fitch and Pierre Gergis for being so vigilant about looking out for this special moment. 

Earlier this evening, University Senator Tiffany Dockery CC ’09 resigned her seat in a letter to the Student Affairs Caucus. Dockery, last year’s BSO president, was on trial for impeachment for not attending enough meetings of the Student Affairs Caucus. In her letter, Dockery lists several reasons for her resignation, including her belief that “there […]

Tonight, the Big Apple Dance Sport Challenge gives new meaning to a Lerner dance party.  If you thought those were great, the Dance Sport Challenge will bowl you over.  Although the competition started early in the morning, there’s still plenty of dancing to be done.  Dance Sport officials informed Bwog that the competition is expected […]

Bwog meteorologist Jon Hill informs us that it’s snowing! At this very moment! Go forth, huddled masses, rejoice outdoors post-haste — these flakes don’t look like they’re sticking. Hans E Hyttinen’s snowy shots of Van Am Quad after the jump.

Bwog apologizes profusely for the late arrival of this review.  This afternoon’s  technical difficulties prevented us from posting it earlier. If you can hurry to the Wien Lounge for the final performance of The Winter’s Tale, do so now. It begins at eight—run! As odd as it may seem there are traces of Othello, Lear […]

Oh hello! It’s good to be back home on the web again. (Though according to B&W layout editor Hans E Hyttinen, we never actually left “the internet.”) Bwog’s crack team of computer whiz kids point to something server-related as the cause of our spotty presence this weekend. But no matter, said whiz-kids are working their […]
