You may have noticed, yesterday evening sometime, that Gmail had gone insane. Everything was blue–had hamsters been let loose in the Google servers, Bwog wondered?

Tipster Dhruv Vasishtha noticed a Columbia reunion of sorts at MTVu’s Woodie Awards–the very same Woodie awards that featured members of the CU debate team–as your favorite bands Vampire Weekend and Chromeo performed “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance” together. It sounded a bit like Graceland but it felt like “Roar, Lion, Roar.” The 2008 […]

Bwog theater critic Morgan Childs attended last night’s production of I Am My Own Wife. It takes a great deal of confidence–or perhaps recklessness–to break the rules of any contemporary play, much less one that has garnered significant attention across the national stage.  The sheer notion of staging Doug Wright’s 2004 I Am My Own […]

If the fliers, op-ed pieces, and general media frothing about ROTC on campus haven’t swayed your opinion in time for the CCSC-produced survey next Monday, on Wednesday night a moderated panel pitted pro against con ROTC factions in Sulzberger Parlor. (Not the same event in the flier pictured at right, but we couldn’t get a […]

Tipster Tadi Ciszak director our attention to sustainable development guru Jeffrey Sachs, professor to the stars, who made at cameo at today’s House Financial Services Panel regarding a possible bailout for automakers. That’s Chrysler CEO Robert L. Nardelli in the front, who, along with other executives from G.M. and Ford testified on the Hill today. […]

For those of you who haven’t yet gotten your dream job offer, you may want to consider going to the Broadway Sky Lounge tonight from 7:30 PM to 9 PM, where you can discuss what you’re going to do with your BA with other soon-to-be graduates. Seniors who gloated at the news that next year […]

Don’t you just want to go crazy on Wednesday nights?  Want to take a chance and probably embarrass yourself?  Barnard President Deborah Spar challenged us all to go to a belly dancing class and, miraculously there is one tonight!  From 7:30-8:30 in Lewis Parlor, Brooks Hall you can enjoy seductive dance moves as well as […]

For those of you who don’t read your council presidents’ emails, there is a forum on NROTC tonight in Sulzberger Parlor (3rd floor of Barnard Hall) from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Both pro and con sides have chosen speakers to represent them in the forum, which will be moderated by SGA president Sarah Besnoff.

After Bwog posted about a Shapiroite losing her key, we were notified by another student who had lost her iPod Touch.  Says the Forgetful: “I last used it at a meeting in Avery Cafe Monday night around 8 PM and am almost sure that I put it back into my bag, but alas it was […]

From now until 1 PM, there’s free hot cider on Barnard’s Lehman Lawn. And then later, from 4 to 6 PM, also on Lehman Lawn, there will be that most traditional and gooey of wintry treats: the s’more. 

Late last night, we reported that the Hungarian Pastry Shop would soon be offering Flex. Well, about that: It turns out that it’s actually Sip that is going to be soon accepting Flex–a fact that’s been confirmed to Bwog by Michael Novielli of Student Auxiliary and Business Services–and the Hungarian was accidentally mislabeled in our […]

As we reported last month, the economy may be in the tank, but PrezBo’s doing all right for himself: for the 2007-08 year, he’s earning $1.4 million in total compensation. Now, to remind us all just how high a sum that is, the Chronicle of Higher Education reports that Bollinger was the third-highest paid university […]

Does anyone actually know what anthropology is? What does Evo love more: nationalization of oil or speaking at Columbia?  Should GS deans be chosen in the same way as GS students–far too late? Did you know that, like, East 116th is TOTALLY less gentrified than, like, Columbia?  I think she actually saw a poor person! […]
