This evening, an enthusiastic crowd of CC sophomores gathered on Low Plaza to announce to the world who they are. CC 2012 lollygagged around, sipping hot chocolate and hacking away at funnel cake like it was the Biloxi County Fair all over again. One girl asked another girl whether she had declared her major yet. […]

Tonight’s free food opportunities might fit best under the “Lemons/Lemonade” heading. First, the Student Global AIDS Campaign is hosting a dinner and discussion on “Drug Use and HIV/AIDS: the History of Needle Exchange in New York City,” led by Allan Clear, executive director of the Harm Reduction Coalition.  Stop by Earl Hall from 8:00pm-9:00pm for […]

Mark Hay is a boy. Here’s his dispatch from DSpar’s Fireside Chat. Last night in Barnard Hall’s Sulzberger Parlor, Barnard President Debora Spar gathered with some odd twenty-five students to rehash a topic that has figured prominently in her thoughts and actions over the past year – how do Barnard girls engage with life in […]

Power-walking to catch the final hour of Ishmael Khaldi’s lecture on a “Bedouin’s Perspective,” Bwog MEALACtivism Correspondent Sarah Camiscoli had to check the Bwog Bucket List several times to confirm that the location was in fact just a classroom on the third floor of Milbank. In a small room and in front of a small […]

Housing is confusing. We are Bwog, and we know what’s really good (we learned from Young Joc). We told you how the lottery works, and today we’ll tell you what the Housing website doesn’t about most of the dorms on campus. We didn’t get all of them–mostly ones that people don’t complain about much, like […]

A very hungry Bwog stopped by Vareli a few minutes ago and learned it isn’t officially open until Monday. Still, last night, Laura Gabriele crossed the street from her usual perch at Campo and gave Bwog a preview. She received a grand tour tonight from manager Nicholas Belegrinos: “The venue features a bar/lounge area which […]

Last year’s CCSC Exec Board race was, well, non-existent: Sue Yang’s ticket ran unopposed, marking a new low for non-competition for the top posts. For the first time in several years, though, a real race for the Executive Board could be in the offing, as the latest gossip hitting Bwog’s ears/inbox suggests there could be […]

Vareli is finally, gloriously open!– ON MONDAY! So much more to come! (Vareli) The Gowanus Canal has been designated an EPA Superfund site, which somehow means that its cleanup might be even more beset by bureaucratic inefficiency. (The New York Times) The Helvidius Group/CU Journal of Politics and Society speaks with International Relations bigwig Professor […]

It is a stressful time to be a CC sophomore. This week, CC 2012 picks majors, realizes that making a Ruggles suite is difficult, and takes midterms that will determine THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. Sophomores and similarly stressed CC juniors get free Roti Roll (whose origins are demystified here) and massages tonight in McBain […]

The latest issue of the Fed is out and aping another Columbia publication. Bwog highlights some of its cringe-worthy crassness… Ergonomics of shaving (ew) “The Columbia Animal Farm (Get it? They’re communists!) Becomes an Animal House (like the movie!!)” Same-old hipster hating Erotic fiction

An expanded schedule of events for EC’s intellectual haven was sent out last night, causing oohs ahhs and drooling. Bwog’s pulse notably quickened when we reached the new addition of PrezBo and Salman Rushdie. Here’s the e-mail containing the line up thus far: THE HEYMAN CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES Revised and Expanded Schedule of Events, Spring 2010 […]

Bwog’s most beloved feature returns with breaking headlines. Instead of weekly round-ups, we’ll be reporting the most insignificant of minutiae as they transform your daily life. No longer shall you anxiously hang on for the report, wondering, ‘How can my life be more boring??’ Blue Java introduces a new loyalty card. There was a definite […]
