The CCSC gossip has been flowing like cheap wine at Columbia Cottage. For your edification: Item #1: Chris Kulawik may have come closer to a CCSC run than anyone realized. As George Krebs struggled to put together a ticket, he received feelers from Kulawik’s associates to see if he was interested in joining a Kulawik […]

Last night, the Columbia Republicans and Democrats met in Hamilton for a debate on energy policy. Karen Leung has this piquant dispatch (all opinions are her own–read Spec for the bland version). The best moments of political analysis at last night’s energy policy debate came from Tedde Tsang, who spoke to no one. Tsang, three […]

Reading it in print may be archaic, but today there’s a reason to pick up the New York Times — an insert with a free wallet size fold-out bus and subway map.  As of 6 minutes ago, there were still some copies left in Lerner. And an hour ago, there were sandwiches, cupcakes, chips, music, […]

Hm, you heard this anywhere before? Barnard Students get authentic New York experience STRIPPERS STRIPPERS STRIPPERS (gotcha) Three hours before this becomes part of someone’s platform. Anti-War professor speaks at anti-war rally because he is anti-war. Stop the War!

This time, the critics were right. We tried reporting on the Blight demonstration on South Lawn at noon today, which was a protest of Columbia’s lack of transparency in the expansion process and the potential use of eminent doman to obtain the last few properties in Manhattanville that Columbia needs to build its new satellite […]

The SGO was hopping tonight, as candidates filed for their positions for the upcoming CCSC election, putting an end to days of intense speculation. The CCSC President’s race was especially full of surprises, as a number of rumored candidates (George Krebs, Felipe Tarud, Chris Kulawik, Josh Lipsky, Will Snider) did not run (choosing, respectively, ’09 […]

The “Commissioner” of Assassins sends notification that you can’t get your espionage on just yet: Agents: Due to the fact that we ran out of guns (despite having ordered enough for everyone) and the fact that no establishment in Manhattan seems to carry squirt guns in the month of February, we have been forced to […]

Professor Peter DeMenocal, Frontiers lecture, Monday morning, in response to a student asking why dinosaurs survived in warmer temperatures but humans can’t: “That’s our world, like it or not. We’re not dinosaurs.” Spanish professor in Milbank, Monday afternoon: “Spanish is spoken in 19 countries… i mean, depending on whether there’s a revolution, right?” Thanks to […]

Steven Thomas stopped by today’s anti-Manhattanville rally, at which South Lawn was declared a blighted zone, and passed on this report: A woman declaring herself to be a long-time resident across the street from Columbia stepped up to the microphone, declaring, “What Columbia isn’t telling you is that they are going to build a Level […]

At last night’s CCSC meeting, a proposal to work towards a centralized course evaluation system was passed unanimously. Academic Affairs Representative Alidad Damooei ’09, who co-wrote the proposal with Class of 2008 President Neda Navab, has been meeting with the Office of the Vice President for Arts and Sciences to come up with a uniform […]

Fresh from the newly cleaned-up Spectator website: How about just… not assigning exams in Lerner? Morningside Heights to Rangel: Draft? Seriously? Now where will we buy our discount movie passes? This just in: Professors’ ideas on sexuality often out-of-date! (please read this)  

The air was cold, the protests were hot, with enough love to go around. Upcoming this week: the Assassins race begins. Don’t get caught in the crossfire. – The ramp up to the strike/protest/walkout was more exciting than the shindig itself. Meanwhile, campus cries out for help. – We got some thinking on Israel going […]

Last night, a bunch of Bwog’s closest friends met up at Havana “West End” Central to make merry and make fools out of themselves in this old blog’s honor. While the antics remained slightly more subdued than we would have wanted, drunken mingling hit an all-time high. This was some hardcore mingling, man. And of course, we […]
