Seemingly the only Columbia heroes missing from Roone Arledge Auditorium today were Jeffrey Sachs and John Jay — though both were certainly at the Havel/Clinton/PrezBo prestige-aganza in spirit. In an event that vindicated CUArts’ alumni donation siphoning existence, the two former world leaders touched on both fighting TB and the Federalist Papers during their conversation, loosely based […]

Looks like last Friday’s CC Coursewide Lecture by the esteemed President Havel has had a real effect on class discussions.  An anonymous tipster sends in this conversation, about Havel’s belief in the legislation of morality, from a recent class meeting. Student 1: I think that when private acts affect the community, that’s when the government […]

Columbia Imposes Itself on Community Again; “Second-grader Julissa Beralto Agreed. ‘I Don’t Want Them to Take Our School Away,’ She Said.”  Then She Cried and Hugged her Puppy as They Both Opened Their Eyes Real Wide.  Look At What We Are Doing!  Monsters! And Then, All of a Sudden, the Expansionist Instinct is Noble Again. […]

Pushing the limits of human endurance, intrepid Bwog correspondents Emily Cheesman and Juli Weiner have embarked on a three day Tasti D. diet. The rules: liquids only (water, juice, coffee) besides Tasti, at least two Tasti “meals” per day, and all food must be consumed in the Tasti Lounge. Their second report follows. Dear Tasti, […]

In which Bwog Staffer Brendan Ballou tries desperately to find something to talk about with Kira Kalina von Ostenfeld — a German countess who graduated from Georgetown at age 19 to work for the FBI, grew up in Peru, learned six languages, and started her own art company. She’s also a fifth-year grad student in […]

Stephanie Davidson sez: Free food! Right now – Lerner piano lounge. Chicken fingers, hot cider, cookies, fries, music.

Café Science solves Global Warming. Barnard plans new major. Pre-meds: crazier than engineers? Bob Dylan musical: worse than that Beach Boys thing EDITORIAL: Hey Everybody! I’m Liberal!

Bwog isn’t one to make fun of typos — we thing we dont have the rite — (just search “Carmen,” as in, the way we’ve chosen to spell our most beloved first-year dorm, to the left). But these guys should be held to a higher standard. This typographical oopsie-daisy appears on the FAQ website of […]

It’s registration week again, and for all the liberal arts majors looking for yet another substance-less “interesting”-sounding class to clear that 12-point “full time student” hurdle, or a weighed down science major seeking an escape, Bwog has done the favor of combing through the mammoth Directory of Classes- er, well, we only really cared about […]

Eash Cumarasamy discovered this thought-provoking juxtaposition of flyers on one of the pillars of Lerner Hall- “Intercultural Cook-Off” vs. “Obesity Panel: Is America Too Fat?” It reminded Bwog of a similar double-take it did earlier this year, when Toward Reconciliation, the conflict resolution group, posted a “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” flyer atop one asking “Want […]

Pushing the limits of human endurance, intrepid Bwog correspondents Emily Cheesman and Juli Weiner have embarked on a three day Tasti D. diet. The rules: liquids only (water, juice, coffee) besides Tasti, at least two Tasti “meals” per day, and all food must be consumed in the Tasti Lounge. Their first report follows. 12:42 pm: […]

The march of overachievers continues today as Bwog salutes Frances Jeffrey-Coker C’10. The frolicsome freshman apparently decided that CCE’s Wall Street connections didn’t go quite far enough, and has decided to enter “the ultimate internship contest”, offered by the promoters of Will Smith’s upcoming film, The Pursuit of Happyness [sic] for, among other things, a coveted Morgan […]

Prince Prestige kisses Alma Mater, wakes her up from five-year sleep High schoolers reach for stars, and, uh, here Václav Havel “changes world,” fails to impress “jaded” sophomores “Molly said I was accepted to fill the need for a public school, non-LA, non-San Francisco lesbian. And I took it to heart, because I got a B- […]

A relatively calm week in Morningside, as midterms faded from memory and New York no-contest elections provided little to get Bwog’s knickers in a knot. Even so, news happened! Here are the highlights. – CNN will bring you election polls, but Bwog will bring you election food, election fights, and how to do your civic […]

CCSC Prez Seth Flaxman writes in to let us know there will be free edibles at the Columbia v. Duke basketball game viewing party tonight in the Lerner auditorium at 8 pm. There will also be free t-shirts and maybe some school spirit on hand. And if you have 2 IDs, there will be alcohol, […]
