But where will we get our Vietnamese? Well thank goodness we won’t have to risk our health further by walking in the cold. Fencers: salvaging CU Athletics pride since as long as we can remember PrezBo has listserv problems  “I’m not denying that scrota exist” Plus: Have you gotten mugged recently? No? Why not?

Dear SEAS: Here are the candidates for the ESC e-board, who will fight it out tonight at 9PM in the Satow Room. You won’t get to vote on them, but at least you know who might become your quasi-elected leaders. President: Eash Cumarasamy and Liz Strauss Secretary: Erin Svokos and Krissie Zambrano Vice President Intergroup: […]

South by Southwest (SXSW), the annual film and music festival in Austin, Texas, ends today—and BW culture editor Paul Barndt got himself a press pass (see, bwogging has its benefits). The music part is higher profile, but it’s a pain–unless running around Austin to catch half-hour sets at crowded bars is your idea of a […]

Bwog coffeeshop reviewer Downing Bray took a break from caffeine this week in the Caribbean, and made it home to tell the tale. Her hazy memories follow. Jamaica, it seems, was the place to be this spring break. On this sunny island of white beaches and clear blue water, of abundant Red Stripe and weed, […]

It’s like news from a sinking ship: text messages, calls from borrowed cell phones, and internet cafe e-mails have been pouring in recently from those stranded in exotic spring break locales (including the ridiculous number congregating here). The nastiness outside in New York grounded over a thousand planes, foiling the homework plans and sinking the […]

Aside from the lethal shooting of an NYU student, the burial of the kids and adults who didn’t make it out of that Bronx house fire, and about two days of above 65 degree weather, you didn’t miss much in NYC. But at Columbia, on the other hand…just look at all of the exciting things […]

We meant to get this to you before break, but as with many ambitious plans overlapping with midterms, this one failed. Until now! Behold, highlights from the March Issue: Global Thought: it might actually do something Life as you know it nearly came to an end. OK, just your web surfing, same difference. Behind the […]

A few items have come over the alias recently that we thought we’d share. To wit: University Senate candidate Eric Wang has scored again on the campaign publicity. Although his website seems to be inactive and posters alone don’t quite measure up to last year’s brilliance, somehow, it works. One tipster unaccountably roaming Hamilton this […]

In case you didn’t pick one up before break, the Fed‘s out again. Here’s what’s worth reading.  The profile that could actually kind of almost describe, like, half of Columbia  Haha, Anna Nicole was fat. Barnard.  The Fed ventures into national political satire Campus political satire that’s distressingly close to the truth Possiby the most […]

BW staffer Kate Linthicum left us this semester for the wilds of Tibet and Bhutan, where’s she’s studying abroad and generally being cooler than those of us cloistered on College Walk. In one brief internet cafe session, she updated Bwog on her life. Dear New York, It’s been a month and a half since I […]

Bwog correspondent Armin Rosen decided to spend part of his spring break hobnobbing with the stars at the America Israel Public Affairs Committee’s conference in Washington DC. His second dispatch follows. After hearing Dick Cheney drone through a half-hour long exposition on the danger that a premature American pullout from Iraq poses to Israel, I […]

DC on a Sunday is about as exciting as Butler on a Thursday. So with press pass in hand, Bwog contributor Armin Rosen attempted to stave off the ennui the only way Washingtonians know how: with a couple strong shots of special interest politics. My first thought upon arriving at the American Israel Public Affairs […]

Bwog dredged the cynicism and negativity from its collective soul a few weeks ago, and pissed a few of you off in the process. Well, that was winter. With spring comes renewal, and lists of things that are shiny and new and exciting! Meanwhile, Bwog is pooped, so you may not be hearing from us […]

Room Hopping has been on hiatus–until today. Emi Noguchi and Noam Prywes bring you another little residential corner of paradise. For 18-year old Chelsea Ward, C ’09, “where are you from?” is an extremely complicated question. She hails from Savannah, Georgia;  Hilton Head, South Carolina; Rochester, New York; and Buckinghamshire, England.  Add to that the […]

Bwog lecture hopper Emma Jacobs took some time out of midterms this week to focus on the macroscopic. Her report follows. Saskia Sassen, U. Chicago professor, sociologist and general wonder-academic, spoke in Fayerweather on Wednesday on one of Columbia’s favorite topics: globalization. Sassen began by talking about her newest work, which posits that the major […]
