From The Guardian, Columbia University will not turn over surveillance video that could potentially aid the police with the case. Currently, the police have no suspects, though they are looking into a Teacher’s College professor who holds “ill will” against Madonna Constantine. Yet, with only one possible lead, the police is also investigating any students […]

Barnard Fire Safety bribes students to sit through a fire safety video with an iPod nano drawing. If Barnard girls can’t put scarves on lamps for mood lighting or light candles, how will they ever find boyfriends? More importantly, what genius heats up a pizza in the oven while it’s still in the cardboard box?

Thanks to SAME (Students Allied for Marriage Equality), there are free cupcakes at the sundial from 12-3! Faux weddings too! UPDATE 2:30 — Flash flood! The cupcakes have been relocated to Lerner.

From 1 to 3 pm today, there will be free food and drinks for the freshmen class in front of Hartley-Wallach (or John Jay lounge in case of rain). Wings, chips, soda, candy, and maybe even hot chocolate! Bwog doesn’t see why stealthy upperclassmen won’t be able to crash. Good eating! In other, competely unrelated […]

Bollinger… you got some ‘splaining to do.  Does this mean students will be able to put beer on flex? Confessions of a teenage beefcake. “Hey hey, ho ho, racism has gotta go.” Radiohead- DMB for the thinking intellectual. 

Most likely to DJ Bacchanal, Winter Wonderland, NSOP concert, and etc. Most likely to namedrop a completely unrelated art film.  Most likely to wish they had included the Teacher’s College incident. Most likely to sleep with the nanny.  Most likely to make you cringe, then chuckle, then cringe, so on and so forth. 

Alexander Cockburn is an irascible old codger, true, but (or maybe therefore) he’s also damned hilarious. At his Tuesday night Heyman Center-sponsored talk on the death of the American left, attendees (who included Bilgrami, Khalidi, Foner, Mamdani, Ed Said’s widow, a bunch of student activists and a handful of old NYC lefties and journos) were treated […]

It’s been awhile since the last installment of the cart tour, partly because of rumors that any chicken and rice in our immediate locality would be rendered irrelevant by the arrival of Sammy’s Halal, the 2006 Vendy award winner that was reported to be moving in to 111th? street, and then mysteriously disappeared. Now, the […]

Overheard in Latin American Civilization 1: Professor Caterina Pizzigoni, who is adorable and Italian and sometimes has trouble with English words and concepts, shows a slide of a man holding a rooster. Caterina: “What do you think the man is doing with the cock?” [Scattered laughter] Smartass in the front: “He appears to be stroking […]

Organizers have wasted no time organizing a response to yesterday’s noose. Last night’s protest was followed by an early afternoon rally today, on the steps of Teacher’s College.  With a variety of signs and speakers, it seemed the event’s main purpose was to demonstrate a swift and strong response. By the time the event kicked […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of Vampire Weekend. Whether you saw them at ADP or Saint A’s or read the Bwog interview (their first, I think), these four boys were definitely in the business of invigorating the (almost nonexistent) campus music scene. So here we are, just a little more than […]

In which free food aficionado Christopher Morris-Lent evaluates the bewildering array of options at everyone’s favorite deli. Moving into East Campus sophomore year is hell on the stomach. Having been robbed of the breadbasket of John Jay and being too lazy and ur-masculine to really cook for myself on a regular basis, I found myself […]

Lucy Liu’s new show, Cashmere Mafia, is filming on 113th between Broadway and Riverside. ABC describes the show as “a thinking woman’s Sex and The City mixed with the wit of The Devil Wears Prada,” but you might want to stop by anyway.

Rather than compete with Cambridge, Columbia emulates Oxford town. “Like the blind men and the elephant” A retrospective on last month’s controversy…and last year’s Who wants some ice cream jokes!? Denver Broncos sign former Columbia Lion Steve Cargile, to go with former Detroit Lion Dré Bly.  Morningside Heights is now a travel destination, and guess […]

No, this has nothing to do with hate crimes, and yes, it happened several days ago. But sometimes things slip through the cracks, and Bwog newbie Beth Gordon says it’s never too late to hear about this band. I’ve been told that if Queens and the Bronx took a shit, it would be Randall’s Island. […]
