Didn’t see CMTS’ production of A New Brain? Too bad! Bwog daily editor Alexandra Muhler wants to tell you what you missed. A New Brain is, in a few ways, typical musical theater. The lead spends most of the show’s two hours in a gown. The ballads are sincere and softly lit. In all, there […]

The NFL, it seems, knows something about Columbia football that the rest of us don’t. Despite Bwog’s (and most everyone else’s) expectations of our football program, our varsity quarterback has proved himself worthy of the majors. Senior Craig Hormann has been signed to the Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns. Though he went unpicked in the draft, […]

Then: Crazy protesters! Now: Mild-mannered protesters! Then: No gentrification! Now: No gentrification! Also, an Arts Fair. Then, meaning Monday: Hipsters! Now, meaning Friday: Hipsters!   

Bwog daily editor Mariela Quintana takes you inside yet another ’68 retrospective, this time a reading featuring Columbia writers who were there when the protests happened. Of the four events I’ve attended that commemorate the 1968 protests, not one has started on time. From all the socializing and incessant chattering that precedes each lecture, it’s […]

Beginning at noon today, a strange face-off between Columbia activist-types and artist-types went down under Alma’s nose. First, the student council-sponsored Arts Fair unfurled on Low Steps, offering free hamburgers, pizza, models (clothed!) and music. Meanwhile, a clot of more than 100 anti-Columbia protesters with home-made noisemakers (corn kernel-filled plastic bottles) marched onto campus and coalesced at the […]

Catch the final performance of Twelfth Night at 8 o’clock tonight in Barnard’s Minor Latham Playhouse.
