Bwog loves the CPU, but it seems like The Columns has gotten desperate recently: having barely posted all month, they’re now reprinting the somewhat disgraced Matt Sanchez’ columns from www.rightwingnews.com. A choice tidbit from the latest post, about how liberals point out the hypocrisy of Larry Craig’s bathroom habits and his rock-bottom record on gay […]

If you stopped out to pick up some apples at the farmer’s market (which, by the way, have raised from $1.00 last year to $1.25 per pound this fall at the stand closer to the bookstore) you won’t be able to avoid the sounds of fervent Christian music across the street, where a full-on revival […]

Get your figure drawing on.  

There’s a huge spread of food outside Roone Arledge that will probably go to waste if you don’t help eat it.

Fooled you. Our boys actually went down 27-10 at their opening game against Fordham this evening, in a predictable start to what Bwog holds out hope will be a less predictable year. But it was a lovely night, and fun was had by all (who weren’t on the field). Perhaps more of interest–Coach Norries Wilson […]

Overheard in the Shoe Tree, nee Global Ink: Customer: “Do you know what used to be here?” Owner: “My store. Global ink.” Customer: “Oh. I was looking for a magazine.” Owner: “We sell shoes now.” Customer (leaving): “Good luck.”

Jerone Hsu, CC ’07, former Editor-in-Chief of Tablet, founder of Eclectica Esoterica (whose latest, beautifully designed issue includes essays about Times New Roman and psychedelic drug use), and B&W graphics editor of yore is still gracing campus with his artistic talent. Now, though, it’s for hire, albeit for a good cause: he’s selling his mural-painting […]

The residents of a Columbia dorm floor received these bizarre emails from their RA (specifics redacted) on Thursday morning. Here they are, very sic, copy-and-pasted. “Date: Sep 13, 2007 3:27 AM Subject: Incident Tonight Hi Everyone! As some of you might have heard, an incident occured around 1:40am this morning.  There were screams, loud noises, Public […]

So Park Slope is far away, but intrepid Bwog correspondents Maryam Parhizkar and Emma Jacobs made the trip and rediscovered their childhood. Remember a time before CC? Well, maybe this well help… Before the semester really gets under way, you might want to stock up on some extra support. There’s still time left to get […]

Collegeboxes screws up deliveries, not that’s it’s anything new. U.S. News screws up Barnard’s rankings. How much can Bill Clinton tell you about saving the world? Spec tells PrezBo and Shapiro to be careful on this one… This is just terrible!

Oh those Krazy Karman Kids! A brigade of three fire engines and two support vehicles showed up at Carman tonight around 10:15 to squelch a firey blaze of nothing. According to a few of the dozens of students milling about outside, this is the third or fourth false alarm the building’s had in the last […]

Shame on you, uke stealers.

It’s a big city out there. This week, Bwog begins a new series of artsy picks to help you navigate the world below Morningside.   Neither New nor Correct: Mark Bradford Mark Bradford, recipient of the Bucksbaum Award for truly exceptional work at the 2006 Biennial, now has his own exhibition at the Whitney involving […]
