So it’s stopped raining and is sort of generally unpleasant outside, which in Accuweather and Barnard terms means it’s time to be afraid of a tornado. Garrett Doherty of Barnard Public Safety wrote all of BC with the following message: The office of Emergency Mangement for the City of New York has issued a Tornado […]

Well, first the 1 wasn’t running. From an overcrowded replacement shuttle bus: PA system: Thank you for using the MTA. Old woman: Oh, shut up! (Everyone cheers) And then we had to come to terms with ill-advised decisions. At John Jay Sunday brunch: Distinctly Continental chap, to a lady-friend: “I have been reminded of what […]

What, you ask, could be more fun, more festive, more downright Mediterranean than a casual business lunch at Fancy Campo Fancy Westside Vareli? Well, how about the possibility of a free casual business lunch at Fancy Campo Fancy Westside Vareli?, along with the added adrenal thrill of a game of chance? That’s what you’re getting […]

Our own econ professor, Jagdish Bhagwati, won the Nobel Prize for Economics–on the season premiere of The Simpsons, that is. It’s in the first minute. (Fancast) Because we still care a tiny bit (even if we don’t want to admit it), James Franco says he wasn’t sleeping through class that one time he was sleeping […]

I lost a nikon d60 camera in Ferris Booth. It has priceless vacation photos on it and was last seen in its black carrying case. Offering reward with no questions asked.

Bwog, with all its Jewish grandmotherly wisdom, guided you through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Now grab your etrogs, kids: it’s Sukkot! Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is kind of like the Jewish version of Thanksgiving, but longer… and in huts. An eight-day-long harvest festival, this holiday recalls the 40 years when Moses and the […]

Last year, Bwog jammed with the JJ’s Place guys, shaked to Shakira with Dean Peña-Mora, and sang a Sesame song with Dean Denburg. We know how those crazy cats in Dodge Hall like to party, so we asked Music Department Chair and Ethnomusicology Professor, Aaron Fox, what’s in heavy rotation on his Ipod. Below are […]

Head over to the 2nd floor of the Diana at 5:00 PM for a Potluck dinner, courtesy of Barnard Ecoreps. And this isn’t just a grab and go. The EcoReps will discuss “how we got into such an oily mess in the Gulf, what the ecological impacts really are, and what the spill and clean-up […]

At 1:33 AM yesterday morning, a tipster sent Bwog an urgent message: “THIS WILL NOT STBAD.” Koronet’s super-sized pizza, in all its greasy goodness, now costs $3.75. This 25 cent price hike follows a steady quarter-a-year trend. It’s unnerving, because when you’re schwasted, you’ll throw down anything just for chow.  Only the next morning will […]

Let it be decreed, our friendly Morningside Heights bat is named Batenawi, after Columbia’s latest controversial WLF guest, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. In the past year, we’ve had sightings of raccoons, coyotes, squirrels and one very special hawk. Columbia is a jungle. Grab your safari hats, kids.

Adam Kuerbitz was there! Last night’s CCSC meeting was a whopper, clocking in at just over an hour and a half. President Learned Foote opened the meeting with a discussion of the recent drama surrounding the council elections, particularly among first-year students. He specifically mentioned Grace Bickers’ recent op-ed piece in Spec about the need […]

Something terrible happened yesterday. On the way to do laundry, Bwog stopped at a vending machine, and put in a dollar bill, then pressed the change button. We waited for the clang of our four quarters, but it never came. The machine had eaten Bwog’s (parents’) hard-earned money! After an angry march to Hartley, Bwog went to […]

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter Bucket List, a weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you realize, like Bwog […]

Federal Officials want to wiretap teh interntz. Columbia computer science prof, Steven Bellovin calls this “a disaster waiting to happen.” As if Google isn’t invading our privacy enough already…. (NYtimes). Business Week (yep, Business Week is on Bwog) addressed the plight of the Hellevator with cartoons (Business Week). According to New York Magazine’s Gangs of […]
