MALLOMARS ARE IN SEASON! They’re $3 a box at Fairway. And Wikipedia knows what’s up: Dangerous Environments Warm environments are not the only dangerous ones for Mallomars and their cousins. Because of the numerous air pockets within the marshmallow, changes in air pressure can cause drastic changes in the size of the biscuit, thus destroying […]

Good gracious! Passersby South Lawn a few hours ago were treated to the sight of Columbia’s fine wrestling team thundering down the turf in a series of grueling sprints. One tipster was particularly piqued by the presence of sophomore Sal Tirico–sorry honey, he’s taken. All the same, Bwog fully endorses the practice of half-clothed athletic […]

In which anonymous Tipster reports mysterious Figure. Last night, around midnight, I saw a mysterious figure putting up these posters around campus. When I asked her what they were all about, she said that she likes to “jump around the roofs of Hartley” and is looking for a sidekick to accompany her. When I asked […]

For those of you who missed the dance at the Intrepid Museum because you weren’t OLs or freshman during last year’s NSOP event, and for those of you who need to walk down the memory lane of that night one last time, you should hurry up and go, because the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space […]

In which Bwog football correspondent Christopher “CML” Morris-Lent returns to document the unlikely triumphs of Columbia’s pigskin throwers.  This afternoon featured yet another Columbia home football game at Baker Field, this time against Georgetown.  The Lions sought to improve their record to 2-0 and thus keep their win/loss ratio at the exorbitant figure of infinity.  […]

The awkwardly named 20th Annual Anti-Gentrification Community Awareness Festival, a protest-cum-block party organized by the anti-expansion Coalition to Preserve Community (check out their impressive new site), went down this afternoon down the hill at Tiemann Place. Articles and pictures from the CPC’s past exploits festooned a central table, staffed by its ever-present leader Tom DeMott […]

In which film savant Iggy Cortez recommends we find our inner music-lover. Micheal Haneke’s Caché was probably last year’s best film, an engaging anti-thriller about repressed personal and national guilt. However, it was not the first time Haneke had confronted his audience with universal ethical dilemmas. In movies such as Funny Games and Code Inconnu, […]

If you read the recent Spec article, you know that professors across the blogosphere are now at risk. What they write online could result in a loss of promotions, denied tenure, or trolls eating their firstborn. Bwog decided to send Dan D’Addario to look at a few faculty blogs. What did we learn? A great […]

Bwog has been tipped off to a seemingly inexplicable makeover: the bathroom near the swipe desk in Carman has been redone and turned into a “Lactation Room.” Most seriously. If you are a woman, a baby, or handicapped, you can check it out. And, by all means, do. The possibilities are endless.   As are […]

In its typical stalker fashion, Bwog followed a group of children this afternoon, fascinated by their caretakers’ kid control technique. What would happen if we tugged the string?  The leaders, apparently, have a better way of dealing with differently-minded youngsters. “S-T-O-P everyone! Someone got a flat tire,” one said, and the line came to a […]

Student councils not pussies, unlike non-Ice Hockey players Corporate whore or effete intellectual? Now you don’t have to choose! Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we poop on him Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we want to have an open cultural dialogue Jake’s One Regret

Previewing Stiglitz’s Next Best-Seller Last Tuesday night’s World Leaders Forum kickoff event was billed as “a discussion with distinguished panelists” on the subject of globalization. It ended up more like the first leg of a book tour for University Professor and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who monopolized the event, discussing his forthcoming manifesto, Making Globalization Work. No […]

So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping… continuing with some lucky Barnard seniors…. After years in cramped doubles, Lala, Masha, Frances, and Samantha got their golden ticket  to a […]
