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 […]

Looks like Bill O’Reilly, in calling Columbia the “University of Havana, North,” was not actually that far off-base. The Universidad de la Habana looks curiously similar to Columbia’s Low Steps, graced by a statue modeled after our very own Alma Mater.  And don’t you think PrezBo and Fidel share a certain resemblance?

Former student, University Professor, and provost Fritz Stern, 80, has just published a memoir called Five Germanys I Have Known, covered today in the Times Book Review. It’s a good review, and when we find the time we plan on reading (or at least skimming) the book. But we think everyone should take a look […]

Univision’s clip, until now withheld by the network, has recently become availible, and it’s a doozy. You don’t have to speak the Spanish for footage of Minutemen kicking protesters to change how you look at things. Here’s the other half of the video. If you are so inclined, a petition in support of the protesters […]

In which film savant Iggy Cortez shows us the Way. Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a bizarre but very watchable melting pot of ancient spiritualism, gangster references, urban decay and RZA’s  predictably infectious soundtrack. Forest Whitaker stars as yet another off-beat and enigmatic character, a bird-loving hit man named Ghost […]

Bwog sports correspondent CML reports from today’s win against The Gaels of Iona: Following their disconcerting defeat at the hands of Ivy League rival Princeton last week, the Lions were faced with the juicy prospect of regaining some of their mojo against the third and last of their nonconference opponents.  In retrospect, it seems that […]

Over the radio (WBAR, 6:00 AM) If you’re on a date and you think of something awkward, just say it. It’s only awkward if you keep it inside. In the elevator… Guy: … So, yeah, that’s how I’m out of Spandex.  And I had a whole drawer full of Spandex. Girl: (sincere, almost breathless) God…that’s […]
