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. […]

A crowd of about 100 people marched from Earl Hall to Teachers College around 11:00 PM tonight in response to the incident earlier today involving a hanging noose found tied to the door of an African American professor. Earlier today, WNBC identified the professor as Madonna G. Constantine, who teaches psychology and education. Protesters yelled […]

According to an e-mail from Teachers College President Susan Fuhrman dated 3:35 PM today (and now WNBC), a hangman’s noose was found on the office door of an African American faculty member. Her full message is reprinted after the jump. A meeting started at 9:00 PM in Earl Hall for student reactions, and tomorrow (Wednesday) […]

Friends of Bwog wandered into the soon-to-be-open Pinkberry a few days ago. They inquired about jobs and were hired on the spot. They were told they needed to go to Chinatown to be “trained”. Apparently, Pinkberry is very much hiring. In summation: If you need a job, and love whatever type of food Pinkberry claims […]

For those of you who simply cannot wait for Assassins, on October 11th, SEAS is organizing a giant game on Manhunt throughout the entire campus. Registration is online, natch. That should satisfy any competitive blood-lust until spring.

Columbia grad (’07) and Hilary Duff look-a-like Meghan McCain has launched a blog chronicling her dad’s (Arizona Sen. John McCain) presidential campaign. Meghan, along with someone named La-Toria Haven whom Meghan calls a “political fashionista”, and Mary Anne Huntsman (Utah Gov. John Huntsman’s daughter), are “traveling on the road with Senator McCain’s campaign and [blogging] […]

Okay. That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. This is too much! That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be… one tiny universe. Asking someone if they’re from Jersey does not an intellectual conversation make  “‘Why on earth do […]

Put this one in PrezBo’s corner.  

Bwog was psyched to attend a verbal joust with Joe Stiglitz, his arch-nemesis William Easterly, and ethicist-in-chief Peter Singer on the question of foreign aid in 417 IAB this evening. When we arrived, the place was so packed that even a multinational corporation couldn’t have barged its way in. Those turned away flooded aimlessly into […]
