Bwog tipster Ryan Withall writes in with a Morningside Heights celebrity sighting… I was just strolling down Bway and on my way to Labyrinth, and I saw something odd. A pretty sweet looking black lowrider (sorry I’m not gangsta enough to know the make and model) sat broken down in the middle of the street. […]

In which an anonymous Bwog contributor tells us what else happened the evening of October 4th. As protestors marched around Lerner Hall last Wednesday evening, a very different showdown was taking shape across campus in Schermerhorn Hall.  The Art History Underground, Columbia’s nascent (and, judging by their president’s introduction, quite enthusiastic) art history club had […]

Every second Tuesday of the month, members of a Christian fellowship on campus sit quietly on the Lerner ramps, reading and smiling when people walk by. They don’t want to convert you, or take your money, or make you sign anything–just put in a good word for you in heaven. On Thursdays, they read the […]

We know who Walid Shoebat is. We know who Baruch Goldstein is. And heck, we even know who Chris Kulawik is.  But who’s V47? Bwog commandeth: reveal thyself! 

More stuff you shouldn’t have saved on public computers. To Whom It May Concern, If you are looking for someone who is obsessed with Italian foods…you have just found it. Olive oil was more than a great way to add flavor to any meal; it was a reminder, everytime they used it, of their Roman […]

News is coming hot and heavy these days on fallout from October 4th (Bwog’s new name for the Minuteman Protest), so we thought we’d do a little digest on the latest.  Item # 1: The Republicans are going ahead with their event Wednesday evening featuring ex-PLO jihadist Walid Shoebat, along with a former Lebanese terrorist […]

Overheard, unfulfilled goals.  Boy: On the list of things to do before I die, “keg stand” is a big unfilled checkbox that has been staring me in the face for a while. Overheard, ungrateful prof on the phone. Prof: You know that undergraduates don’t mean ANYTHING at this school! Overheard, unaware Art Hum student in […]

The Inmates Next Door RIP CBGB RIP R.W Apple  Don’t let it get to your heads They’re lucky they even have housing! 

Nothing like a volatile region pushed to the brink of nuclear conflict to make onstage riots seem like academic minutiae.  For perspective on the Korean peninsula’s unfolding crisis, Bwog’s Nicholas Frisch turned to Joseph Hong, SEAS’07, a Korean-American student, and a human rights activist.  On a personal level, how has this affected you in terms […]

If you noticed a hubbub in front of Lerner at 11:00 AM this morning, it wasn’t another protest–just the aftershocks. The People on the Stage netted what appeared to be most of the local media outlets–plus bystanders–in a press conference to get out their message about what happened on October 4th.  Bwog couldn’t help but […]

Columbia’s a mess of bureaucracy. We all know that. You even have to deal with bureaucracy online – think class registration. Open SSOL. Open the Directory of Classes. Open the Bulletin. Open CULPA. Flip back and forth like mad as you try to correlate classes between the directory and SSOL and the Bulletin, check up […]

Seems like everyone and their mother is issuing statements these days about the Minuteman Protest: distancing, endorsing, calling for blood…and sometimes saying not much at all. While frolicking in the Student Government Office, Bwog ran across one such statement, passed this evening by the Student Affairs Caucus of the University Senate: Resolution on Free Speech […]

Over the past several days, the Bwog has recieved a steady stream of drivel decrying the Minuteman protest. In the interest of depicting what kind of statements are coming out of a particular subset of American society today, we’ve reprinted a few of them. The really long ones have been cut down a bit, but […]
