Othello is not by any means an easy play to perform. The lines are long, the characters change dramatically over the course of the play, and the bloodiness is abundant. King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe’s attempt at it was therefore definitely something to rave about, especially considering the tightness of the group’s budget.  The audience laughed, […]

Tipster Lauren Weiss informs us that there’s an odd odor permeating room 303a in Butler’s Milstein Reading Room.  That smaller room has been vacated but the main room is full of people, who seemed unperturbed when Bwog went to investigate. Public Safety assured Bwog that there is no gas leak.  Two NYPD officers and Butler […]

As the last autumn of the decade comes to a close, celebrate the season’s bounty with the November issue of The Fed.  It’ll be nice and alternative. The MLB is all kinds of wacky! What do Socrates, St. Augustine, and Sigmund Freud have in common?  They’re all featured prominently in the CC curriculum. Writing a […]

Bwog Oldie Justin Vlasits endured enormous lines winding throughout IAB in order to bring you this report on Linguist/Political Activist Noam Chomsky’s speech last night. In today’s intellectual climate, with its emphasis on tight specialization, it is uncommon to see someone excel in more than one field.  Noam Chomsky is a member of this rare […]

Underperforming public schools—Bloomberg’s on the case. Natural History Museums that don’t grant PhDs in comparative biology—but Manhattan doesn’t have one of those anymore. Anything involving the New Jersey Nets—literally, anything. Being Hofstra and having a football team… wait, really? Drinking your alcohol. UPDATE: A commenter has notified us of a Columbia-related news item – James […]

To complete the “Campus Tobacco Student Poll,” which went out to pre-selected students’ inboxes earlier this evening. An informal and shockingly unscientific poll of Blue and White/Bwog staffers leads us to guesstimate that if you didn’t get an invite, you probably know several people who did (unless you really don’t get out that much). The […]

Generative grammar devotees, be warned! The 5th Annual Edward Said Memorial Lecture, featuring Noam Chomsky, is packed to the brim in IAB’s Altschul Auditorium. Bwog’s Webmaster and Official Chomskyan Political Correspondent Hans Hyttinen reports that, as of 6:30 PM, students are being asked to leave IAB and no one else is being allowed in. Hyttinen […]

Fire alarm in Harmony. Stop Drop And Roll Expert Sean Zimmerman sends this photo of the fire trucks outside.

“Smuggler” refers to a production company based in New York, but, alas, it’s not actually a film shoot.   A phone call to the company revealed that they’re shooting a Cottonelle commercial.  Perhaps they’ll give us some samples to replace the wax paper currently supplied to dorms. Update, 5:07 PM: B&W Editor-in-Chief Juli Weiner says […]

Just when almost everyone thought that Manhattanville had state approval wrapped up, the project has suddenly hit a major speed bump. Earlier this afternoon, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court ruled that the state could not use eminent domain to obtain parts of West Harlem for Columbia’s expansion. The 3-to-2 decision […]

The Rockefeller Center tree is lit! Make time to stroll down 5th Avenue to take in the delightful displays! Bwog tries to look beyond the rapidly intensifying holiday spirit taking over the city, but can’t quite stretch it to Sunday… Friday Composers and Choreographers Workshop – the Dance Devision of Julliard presents this presentation by the studio […]
