The second installment of Bwog correspondent Alex Weinberg’s exploration of the mental attack of 9-11 conspiracy theorists. On September 8th, I went to Ground Zero and met with a number of 9/11 conspiracy theorists. They were generally young, white, educated males who lived far away from New York City. They were all very polite, if […]

Look who else is getting a re-design!             Or rather, excuse me, a website. Not a re-design. Just an initial website. Because they never had one before (this didn’t really count). Because it’s 1999. Oh, no, no. That’s not right either, is it? Hm.

Free TimesSelect is here with the wave of your Columbia/Barnard email address. And although you have to give your CU email to the Times, (and to all your professors and Michelle Diamond and Lee Bollinger and Austin [!] Quigley), that doesn’t mean you have to deal with CubMail, Columbia’s the homage to 2002’s latest technologies. […]

Bwog’s going back to bed. 

According to the University’s Upcoming Events calendar, Columbia isn’t formally organizing any 9/11 memorial services or moments of silence. There is, however, this commemoration at the New York Historical Society, as well as events being held all day today at the park adjacent to Ground Zero.

We’re not sure whether this Butler Lounge vandal has left us a bold political statement or a tasteless joke. What we’re sure of is that a small, mostly-desert country has nothin’ on a delicious falafel pocket…

Bwog presents this Fall’s off-off-off-Broadway line-up. Look for their inevitable posters later this semester. October: Cowboys and Indians (CU Players) – 10/19-20 The Gist: A Will Snider (CC ’09) play about three guys, a campfire, and the American dream. The Gimmick: A student written show that’ll be performed sober. The Real Inspector Hound (Aporia Repertory […]

Former CC ’08 president Isaac Silverman has a new project. After taking a year off to found the never-quite-functional www.campusboxoffice.com (which will be shutting down entirely this week) the now-junior has joined up with four Yalies to launch what he called a “really cool game.” The venture is called GoCrossCampus, a kind of massive Ivy-wide […]

As the anniversary of the physical attack approaches, Bwog correspondent Alex Weinberg reels from the mental attack of 9-11 conspiracy theorists. September 11th is fast approaching, and, like swallows returning to Capistrano, 9/11 conspiracy theorists are emerging from their basements and taking to the streets to let you all know how dumb you really are. […]

The new Spectator website ain’t working so hot right now. So hang tight, and we’ll get you a QuickSpec as soon as the Spec site loads. Or at least soon after that.  UPDATE: There’s now a message on the website saying the site will be down for the day. It will return in the future. […]

In which Bwog Arts correspondent Daniel D’Addario watches MTV so you don’t have to. Promise him you won’t. This is the worst thing ever to happen to America. I am stuffing my face with Westside Market cheddar on crackers to smother my feelings; from next door, the smell of pot reminds me that hope is […]

Remember when to gather signatures for a petition you had to stand around with a clipboard accosting strangers on the street? Web-based petitions have done away with all the discomfort, and now rallying support for a cause is as easy as setting up a letter on one of the several petition sites and watching the […]

Bwog heard through the grapevine that some of the employees at 212 have asked familiar faces for a most unusual favor: to write Dining Services an e-mail requesting that the Chef’s-Hat-Required policy be nixed.  We think this a worthy cause, and if you do too, shoot the Dining mandarins an e-mail at eats@columbia.edu. It’ll take […]

This is shaping up to be a bad year for fun and games, especially in EC–last night and tonight, a line stretched out the door and down the steps. According to one correspondent, yesterday security guards bounced non-residents entirely. Walking through the 116th gates, Bwog also overheard a radio communique directing the posted security guard […]

This Bwogger stopped down to the annual Art Parade on West Broadway today and was delighted to see an incognito CUMB (their CU Arts Nalgenes gave them away)representing Alma Mater not only in the recesses of downtown but amid a churning sea of be-glittered flesh, papier mache effigies, and young women held aloft by balloons.
