Bwog believes that you should absolutely judge a group by its flyers, and with recruitment posters blanketing campus, there are a lot of pre-judgments to make. But even if you’re not considering joining any, you can at least appreciate what they say about the state of national politics, and how the clubs themselves are doing. […]

Yesterday, PrezBo dusted off the ol’ blue and white robes and headed north for the inauguration of JTS’s new chancellor. Bwogger Armin Rosen dressed less ridiculously for the occasion. During his inaugural address as the newly-minted seventh chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, former Stanford professor Arnold Eisen recalled how, as a staffer for the […]

So you thought the Facebook apps were bad. Now Facebook has this nifty little feature where non-members and search engines can access your Facebook too! In technical terms, your public search listing is indexed by external search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.). Now alongside your high school cross-country race times, curious minds can also see […]

Eminent domain? More like open domain.  “Why’d you pick Columbia? It was actually very easy because I didn’t get into any of my other upper echelon schools.” Shoes! Vogue! Fashion! Parties! Did you know it’s fashion week? One sentence Lit Hum summaries are overdone. Vamp Vamp

Wien’s undergone some changes other than landscaping. The single bathrooms on each floor have historically been used by both genders, but this year, complaints prompted the Housing gods to make them all either for women or men. When picking into housing, those with bad enough numbers to be stuck in Wien did know which floors […]

Here’s an addition to the list of fun prophylactics that currently includes bar scanners, NSOP party shut-downs, stricter RA rules, and chastising frats (more on that later)– Bwog hears the Lion’s Head pub underwent a police raid and fake ID roundup late last night. Will it never end?

While most Columbians know the Heyman Center as the ugly concrete slab abutting East Campus, it may soon be known for something else: really sexy speaking engagements. The Heyman schedule includes controversial Holocaust historian Peter Novick, “Israel Lobby” author John Mearshimer (both on 10/30), Counterpunch editor Alexander Cockburn (10/9 and 10/10), and Freakonomist Sudhir Vankatesh […]

Or so we can assume from this ominous and somewhat vague  sign. More mysterious than which plague-carriers the “other vermin” part of this sign could refer to is who the hell (other than Bwog) still uses the word “vermin.” “Varmints” is the preferred nomenclature these days.
