Bwog Serious Health Issues Bureau Chief Mahrah Taufique clung to a precious seat in Roone to hear from President Clinton and others on World AIDS Day. You can watch the archived webcast at the Clinton Foundation’s website. With a lot less fuss, security and publicity than one might have expected, President Bill Clinton dropped by […]

Yes, tonight is a night unlike all other nights — it’s the Tree Lighting and Yule Log Ceremonies!  A school event blissfully bereft of refrains of “Roar, Lions, Roar!”, it will feature a capella performances, a chance to see Dean Moody Adams in the flesh, and free hot chocolate and apple cider aplenty.  Moody-Adams has […]

The latest Student Gov Roundup, with all-new stories about your favorite addictive substances: Sources tell Bwog that the Tobacco Workgroup has finally received consent from all of the Morningside schools to survey students about the smoking ban. The survey should go out within the week. In other initiative news, the undergraduate councils are finishing compiling […]

Yesterday, Butler celebrated its 75th Birthday.  Go crazy — buy an extra slice of (coffee)cake in Blue Java, light a candle, and coo over these pictures of Butler’s infancy.  Happy Belated Birthday, Butler.

The confusion surrounding Butler’s size is understandable — while the library looms above campus, even the most dedicated campers never venture beyond floor six.  The brave student willing to climb a few extra flights of stairs will discover the Oral History Office, labyrinthine hallways, and miserable grad students that dwell, unseen, in Butler’s heights.  In […]

Everyone’s got somebody to love — even Rush Limbaugh (Gawker). Cops play dress-up (NYT). Columbia wants to ruin some landmarks (again) (Spec). The New York Post is still racist (HuffPost). GS = separate, but not equal (Spec).

But it’s not the one (most of) you really wanted. Still, the 42nd President of this here country, William Jefferson Clinton, will be making an appearance on campus tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. in Roone Arledge Auditorium, as part of events for World AIDS Day. The White House occupant will be part of a symposium entitled […]

It’s almost December, the thermostat is quickly dropping to that 32º mark, and you know what that means. It’s time for Bwog’s Second Annual “First Flake of the Season” contest! Although no weather services have predicted snow for a while, there is going to be very cold rain this week and next. Bwog has been […]

If you’re willing to talk science and Barnard’s need (or not) for it, be sure to join the SGA in James Room in Barnard Hall from 6pm-8pm tonight for their “Does Barnard need science?” town hall meeting that includes free catered (!) dinner. Get your voice heard and your appetite fed!

In this latest edition of Bwog’s recurring feature highlighting students’ hidden talents, Alliance of Magicians Bureau Chief Mark Hay sat down with a performer that would rather not be labeled a magician. Throughout our little chat I keep trying to label BK (a stage name), CC ’13, a magician, but every time I offer up […]

James-Room, Barnard Hall, 4th floor Discuss the Science Requirement! Like it? Love it? Gotta have it? Or, just hate it? *Last chance to win preview tour of the Diana* The Student Government Association (SGA) is planning for a town hall on the science requirement in the Nine Ways of Knowing. We’re excited to finally move […]

While many Columbians spent last week reuniting with their families back home, the basketball, wrestling, and swimming teams also met with others from around the country, with mixed results. Coming off a win over Longwood, the Men’s Basketball team won again last Tuesday over Bucknell in a 73-59 victory that wasn’t secure until the last […]

Pre-finals blues got you down? Thanks to World AIDS Week, there’s free cookies and ribbons on the ramps as well as information on HIV/AIDS testing. Plus, Bwog’s Berlin Correspondent Julia Diao reports there’s a ton of free German Department related stuff on Hamilton 3. Release the floodgates!

As the campus returns back to life, so does Bwog. Here are some things that you may have missed during your weekend in far away lands: New York State’s economy is in $3.2 billion worth of trouble, and Governor Paterson is taking $1.6 billion in emergency measures. (1010WINS) Twitter got more street cred as gangs […]
