Well, things on CCSC are shaking out a little differently than we predicted a few weeks ago. With the filing deadline coming up tomorrow at 8:59 PM, here’s where we stand: IN – CC ’08 vice president Michelle Diamond. Sighted in Lerner this afternoon taking campaign photos with her ticket. OUT – CC ’09 President […]

On Friday, lecture hopper extraordinaire Josh Mathew took the walk down to St. Mary‘s Episcopal church in Harlem to hear two scholars duke it out on the question of Israel and Palestine. After making my way past the numerous activists handing out fliers condemning the war in Iraq and the U.S.’s conceivable Iranian escapades, I […]

9:00 PM! BWOG TURNS ONE! THE WEST END! With that Tourettically over with, a quick self-absorbed indulgence. The Bwog started as a mere twinkle in the eye of the staff of The Blue and White. Editors had been kicking around the idea of as website for awhile, but opinions on how we should present its […]

With Mona and Roadhouse closed down, the Morningside bar scene just got a little thinner. But there’s still stuff out there (MOST OF ALL THE WEST END [a.k.a. “Havana Central”] WHERE YOU’RE COMING FOR THE BWOG PARTY TONIGHT) and we thought it was time to re-run Addison Anderson’s gargantuan bar crawl from our Orientation 2006 […]

Belle Jar thinks you’re pretty OK yourselves.

Two Bwoggers sent in this photo of the mysterious (and large) SOS in the South Lawn snow, taken earlier today from the 7th floor of Hamilton. What could have possibly caused someone to create the massive distress signal? Could it have been due to some late-night shipwreck, leaving the castaways no option but to carve […]

Other quirks in recent news, for your Friday pleasure. The strike is not the only thing that has put Columbia in the news lately. According to Bwog reader James Downie, the rugby team’s planned visit to Trinidad and Tobago is also newsworthy, or at least for this Tobago publication.  The writer even refers to our […]

Over 300 have the balls to stand out in the cold; 150 participate in much warmer Lerner teach-in (also, Spec includes a nifty little video) In the meantime, Computer Music Center staff catches colds without protesting Chillin’ with the Varsity Show Will Iran turn a cold shoulder? — In the meantime, the pro-life perspective of […]

“Money for Jobs and Education, Stop the War and Occupation!” “Cut the funding, stop the war! What the hell is Congress for?” Anti-war impatience reigned on Low Plaza this afternoon as a hundred-odd students, professors, union workers, and community members listened to a slew of speeches organized by the Columbia Coalition Against the War while […]

On Februrary 17th, 2006, we had a giant party at Mona to celebrate the launch of BW‘s quirky younger brother, the Bwog. You, at least, are still reading our little foray into new media, so you might as well help us celebrate our survival one year later. We were going to have it at Mona […]

Registration for the annual Engineering Student Council-sponsored water pistol-fest begins tomorrow, and Bwog’s getting excited. Teams of four will compete for group fulfillment, eternal glory, and undisclosed amounts of cash in the “espionage game” that will surely bring out the chemical, mechanical, or biomedical (etc.) engineer that’s somewhere (very) deep inside of you. Don’t let […]

Strike on Low at 12pm. Some profs cancel class to allow students to exercise consciences, won’t be disciplined “But I’m just not sure If I want to go, It’s quite freezing outside and I do eat lunch at 12”- more idealized concerns about attending addressed here Steal this edition! anti-war movements –> more war –> […]

Huzzah! The February issue is online, on this very website, and in fact the link that is linked here is also on the left of your page. Anti-Oppression Training: The Non-Bullshit Kind of Training Sachs Heroic Again Terra Cognita (study abroad): Russia, France, China, Chile, Ancient Greece?, Egypt, Here The Original Title Already Has a […]

You’ll never know who she is, but you’ll read her anyway. Send questions, propositions, and fan mail to bwogsex@gmail.com. Welcome to the Belle Jar. I dedicate this Valentines Day to Lisa Nowak.  Some people can go the distance for love. Walking across campus last night, I counted eight guys and girls carrying flowers to their […]

Today is Valentine’s Day, and time to declare your love, and, if you are a CC Sophomore, your major. Whether you want love, a major, or neither, Bwog can help you by giving you a guide to read and criticize. Love For many people, and even some at Columbia, this is a beautiful day for […]
