In response to our queries and our recent two posts, the Barnard administration has sent Bwog an expedient justification of the new meal plan. Here’s the comment we received: Since the demolition of McIntosh, the College has struggled with the reality and perception of community on our campus.  At the same time, we have received […]

Barack Obama CC ’83 accepts the Nobel Peace Prize, tells the “hard truth” about war, annoys the entire population of  Norway, departs with lingonberry jam and a bag of frozen Swedish meatballs; all in a day’s work. Florida judges and lawyers shouldn’t be Facebook friends; courtroom attorneys are, of course, always entitled to “Like” the verdict. […]

The Club Sports Governing Board will have treats for you this evening in the John Jay Lounge. From 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM, gorge yourselves on eggnog, hot chocolate, and cookies.  The eggnog will probably be nonalcoholic, but nothing’s stopping you from taking it back to your over-21 room and adding your legally-purchased rum.

We’ve been hoping to see an agreeable resolution since it was discovered that we’d only have one study day this semester.  Thanks to student government intervention, we now have two days, but many students still have to leave just two days before Christmas, a time of higher fares and overbooked flights. Columbia has traditionally started […]

As you may have heard, Barnard officially announced required meal plans for all students starting next semester year.  Initial support for the measure seemed low, so we went on a hunt to find students who were excited about it. We searched high and low, but found not one student willing to praise the plan. What […]

Manhattanville is (temporarily?) on hold.  The primary players have a lot to say. The Eye interviews Miranda Elliot of GendeRevolution. The Bwog does not watch American Idol.  Or Housewives.  Only The West Wing DVDs and Masterpiece Theatre.

Finally, blissfully, it’s that time again. Today is the last day for (approximately) half of your classes, and your professors should have something to say about it. As always, please send the sweet/sad/insane words they send you off with to tips@bwog.net or post in the comments thread.

What’s that, Barnard students? You were excited about the opening of the Vag Diana? Looking forward to all the exciting new dining options, such as “a state-of-the-art dining room and Liz’s Place, an expanded and improved-upon replacement for Java City.” Well, even if you weren’t giddy with anticipation, you’ll have to spend some money there: […]

Club Dimensions, in consort with Club Bangla and the Kraft Family Fund will be showing an animated film at 8:00 PM tonight in the Lerner Cinema. It tells the Indian epic of Ramayana using joke-cracking shadow puppets (snarky shadow puppets?). Plus there will be FREE ROTI ROLL served BEFORE the event. Assume that means there […]
