There is a pile of Columbia University Dance Marathon T-shirts at the main desk in Lerner.

Do you like socialism? How about scruffy-looking skinny boys in tight t-shirts with slogans denouncing genocide? Or women with really short haircuts? Then flock to Lerner, where the Center for Economic Research and Social Change and the International Socialist Organization are hosting the conference “Socialism 2006!” (build the left, fight the right).  

Bwog would not want to be Landon Donovan–or anyone associated with the US Soccer Team–after our boys’ 2-1 loss to Ghana yesterday. Sunil was not happy. “This is where the entire world is watching,” said the United States Soccer Federation president, with the kind of icy disapproval reserved for those who confuse Lorentz curves with […]

Barnard student Hannah Baker reports our crumbly hate crimes just keep coming: I discovered possibly another incarnation of the Nazi cracker prankster sitting on a police barrier outside of the subway [near Barnard]. It was a tupperware container containing what seemed to be melba toast and had written in sharpie on the top a swastika, […]

Barnard student Lily Perlmutter says: There’s a guy out [at the Barnard gates] from a labor union with a GIANT blow-up rat with [President of Barnard,] Judith Shapiro’s salary plastered everywhere, and signs asking for better wages. The guy is blowing a whistle and shouting, “JUDY! JUDY!” But there isn’t a crowd of strikers, just […]

In the beginning, there were three: a libertarian, a conservative, and a socialist who (according to Fed lore) started the Federalist Paper in 1986. Now one of the founding fathers, Neil M. Gorsuch, CC ’88 and FiJi frat boy (not the socialist, Bwog surmises) has been nominated to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. If […]

It seems that the law has caught up with the facebook pervert; that guy who stalked Columbia girls among other New York college students for their naked pictures, claiming he (posing as a she) needed them for a “class project.” One of Bwog’s tipsters was the unfortunate target of this creepy man: “We did some […]

From Bwog tipster James Williams: Take any typical black columbia email computer. Hold down ctrl + alt + shift + g and right click on the mouse and you get Tetris. Amazing. Someone test this out and let Bwog know if it actually works! Post your high scores and your initials on this thread (or […]

Bwog was so excited upon getting a look at this year’s NSOP logo that it couldn’t help but share it with the viewing public. We’ll spare you the bubbly e-mail it came with.

Boxed lunch food units at the main desk in Lerner. Get them before the American cheese…uh…stays itself forever. Sandwiches, chips, and surprisingly firm red apples.

Bwog fan Olivia Gorvy reports from our nation’s capital, a humorous happening on the hill. Yesterday was the official Seersucker Thursday on Capitol Hill, a tradition started seven years ago by Sir Trent Lott. Nineteen senators and various aides and interns donned seersucker suits to work. There was an even a huge ice cream social […]

Found in Pupin 222. Thanks to Bwog photographer Sumaiya Ahmed.

Much lore surrounds the Columbia Tunnels, but also much fact, and a tunneling SEAS ’01 student–operating under the nom de guerre Benoit–has made his e-mail address availible for those curious about Columbia’s subterranean avenues. Bwog staffer Brendan Ballou contacted Benoit nine months ago for his article on another tunneler (and all-around badass) Ken Hechtman, and […]

In which Bwog correspondent Josie Swindler relates the quirks of her home state. Ah, Kentucky. Land of red necks and blue collars. Where deer carcasses pepper the highway’s emergency lanes and tobacco plants flap beautifully in a westerly wind. Kentucky has straddled the rifts in America’s national consciousness since before the Civil War; both Abraham […]

Bwog correspondant Lucie Kroening describes football festivities in Sudetenland in the first of a summer series of dispatches from around the world. Overheard on the loudspeaker at the World of Football complex in front of the Reichstag (also live on the radio): German commentator (in English, with slight accent): Today the USA is playing against […]
