It’s 11/11! Bwog hopes you wished for cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The Greenmarket welcomes the new goat cheese producer, Broadway Acres, from Pennsylvania. There are purple, green and orange cauliflowers at Samascotts. Starting Sunday, the Greenmarket will celebrate Grains Week to feature their superb selection of grains. Pepper season is almost over, but it is […]

The Google Street View car is the cops’ new BFF. (Gawker) Hold on to your phone. A “group of hoods” is wanted for its cell phone-snatching crime spree around Columbia. (Daily News) The Four Loko banning saga continues. Washington’s ban on caffeinated alcohol drinks begins next week. (Seattle Times) Get the flu vaccine from Health Services […]

Remember when?

In a letter to SEAS students tonight, ESC President Chris Elizondo announced tonight that John Jay Dining Hall will most likely open again on Fridays and Saturdays by next semester. In the email, Elizondo writes that ESC and CCSC passed a resolution collaboratively asking Dining Services to open John Jay on the weekends. If John […]

It opens in the morning.

A peach colored (metal) water bottle with black and white rabbits (yes, rabbits!) on the side, along with a light blue screw-top. Has a slight dent on the site. Left 11/9/10 most likely in either Kent 423 or John Jay dining hall, sometime between 5:16 – 6:00 pm. Sentimental value, if found please contact nl2294@columbia.edu.

FeelGood CU will dole out some free fingerwiches (“Swiss fig” on crackers) tonight at 8:30 in 608 Schermerhorn for a lecture on hunger. The lecture will be given by a FeelGood alumni and current Senior Executive of the Hunger Project. Go do something good and eat figs!

Freshling CCSC candidates are clearly not the only ones who confuse pi and rho as evinced by this cringe-worthy abomination below, for which we have SEAS to thank.  Thank you!  What would Gerry Visco say?! Photo by HEH

Today, the Dosa Wars begin again. This afternoon, two Dosa Carts– VegeNation and the original Dosa cart (without a catchy name)– stood about 25 feet apart on 115th and Broadway. VegeNation has been here since July, but before that, there was the other Dosa truck that mysteriously disappeared one day last March. The original Dosa […]

Found a textbook under the table in 607 Hamilton on Oct 27. It seemed to be about Japanese architecture, but I know it definitely had something to do with Japan

There are some new programs about in different schools, so check out what’s up below. GS has a joint program with Sciences Po, a French place. It’s a double-BA thing with a lot of languages and internationalism. The J-School and SEAS are also currently actively recruiting for their first class for their new dual MS […]

Don’t expect to take a class in the English Department next year without the prefix “post-” in the course title. Capital New York reports that Judith Butler, uber-big-deal academic currently at UC Berkeley, is coming to Columbia in the fall next year. She’ll fit in just fine: she’s a post-structuralist scholar with a post-Zionist perspective on […]

The PE Requirement is sometimes maligned as unfitting of Ivy League scholars, unfair to the ‘nonathletic’ and even downright unexplainable, a la the swim test.  However, Bwog knows the true value of hitting the gym every now and then.  Rather than one more unfair burden on the backs of the bright-eyed leaders of tomorrow, the […]
