It’s a red samsung t-mobile flip phone. I know I dropped it somewhere between the Lerner lobby and college walk where the ambulance is parked OR outside faculty house or Wien. It happened around 12 to 1 on wednesday.

Just because Thanksgiving is past doesn’t mean there can’t be a cornucopia of free food to graze on! From 7:30-8:30 p.m., enjoy the Campus-Wide Candle Lighting, which celebrates the first night of Chanukah. Free Dunkin’ Donuts!  You can get in on the action in the lounges in Broadway, Carman, Hartley, Schapiro and Sulz, and in […]

Happy Holidays! Barnard Housing sent out an email yesterday, just in time for the start of Chanukah, notifying students that not only are they forbidden to light candles in their room, simple possession is also forbidden. Even if you’re just holding them for a friend, it’s against the rules, kids. In its divine wisdom, however, […]

Overheard in Era of Civil War and Reconstruction, a.k.a. Foner: “Whoever said this was going to be the worst fucking Chanukah ever was RIGHT.” Bwog hopes folks feeling this way investigated the Chabad Menorah. Or at least head to any of the other candle-lightings around campus tonight.

From 5-7 p.m., despite the weather, Chabad will be lighting a giant Menorah on College Walk. Head over there for free donuts, cider, Menorahs, candles and other give-aways. Update: Attendees were happy the rain had passed, and gamely fought against the night chill with hot cider and friendly company. The group of 40 or so […]

Unless you were stuck all day in some windowless room in Pupin—in which case Bwog is sorry—you can’t have missed the torrential winds and elemental forces that struck campus today. It was raining sideways! Or whatever else your grandma says when it rains a lot. But anyways, it was all worth it since Michael Rady […]

We’ll let you know when the November issue of The Blue and White arrives in buildings on campus, but until then, enjoy the entire issue as we preview it on Bwog. In an nontraditional marketing move, author and Columbia professor Gary Shteyngart attempted to attract a different set of readers to his summer release, Super […]

Ladies and gentlemen, the future is here.  Oren’s Daily Roast, the coffee shop that is so much better than Starbucks, I mean why would you ever drink Starbucks, has entered the modern age.  Instead of their old stamp cards, they now have plastic swipe cards. Behold.  Behold the bi-chromatic design, the name stamped boldly across […]

A startling discovery has been made: Justin Bieber’s number 1 fan attends Barnard, and she honors him with the namesake of her WiFi network.  Bwog has seen both some pretty serious Bieber fans as well as some pretty strange network names in its day, but props to this anonymous fan for mashing them up so […]

Look, sometimes things work out for English majors! Anna Feuer, CC ’11, will head to Oxford next year on a Marshall scholarship to write about the interaction between Irish and Indian writers during the early 20th century. Niche history… it gets you free shit! Congratulations, Anna!

Right now, until 3pm, the Student Global AIDS Campaign is hanging out on the Lerner Ramps, spreading info about testing, stigma reduction and policy updates.  Free Starbucks coffee as well as desserts/baked goods are there too too!  While you’re there you can sign a petition and make calls to Obama asking him to come through on […]

Oof! It’s terrible outside today. If you’re late for your 10 a.m., take heed: do not bring an umbrella outside. The wind will eat it and it’ll turn inside out. Wear rainboots. Don’t catch a cold. And eat something, you look skinny. Are they even feeding you up there? Bwog’s Weatherman Pat Blute chimes in […]

Study suggests that attending an Ivy doesn’t necessarily pay off with a higher starting salary after graduation.  That’s bad, because money defines success in life and education is only a means to that end. (NYT) Read about the convoluted history of the crew’s huge painted “C” facing Inwood Hill Park. (Manhattan Times) A Barnard ROTC […]
