New York Democrats try to sort out the spoils of their victory. Barnard Profs rejoice with some love from a new research fund. NROTC discussion to reach critical mass with one discussion, not two. Do you have the Golden Touch? Welcome to the new swipe society.

The anti-NROTC coalition (Lucha, Dems, CQA, SDS, CCAW, EAAH, Chicano Caucus, Proud Colors) have invited council members to a meeting tomorrow night, to discuss concerns about “communication.” “Up until the past day or so,” one spokesman told Bwog, “we had no information about how the forums would work.” This is not the first time that […]

Weather.com is forecasting that the Columbia campus could see the season’s first snow showers early Tuesday morning. According to their hour-by-hour forecast, snow showers could begin around 3 a.m. and continue into the early afternoon, becoming mixed with rain. Now Bwog has been let down by snow forecasts many times over the years, so don’t […]

Spotted heading toward Uris earlier this evening: Jim Cramer, the excitable host of CNBC’s Mad Money. He was alone and talking on his cell phone. “He sounded, well, mad,” reported an eyewitness. The reasons for his campus visit are of course a mystery, though Bwog would like to point out that he has a 17 […]

Bwog pauses to congratulate the men’s water polo team, who came in 13th at the national championships in Athens, Ohio. In their final game, the Lions defeated Georgia Tech 7-5 in two overtimes, senior Sam Scioscia’s goal with 46 seconds left in the second overtime period providing the difference. Freshman Daniel Kirel scored three goals […]

Avian tipster extraordinaire Courtney Douds has sent along the following absolutely insane photos of your Hawkmadeinjad ruthlessly tearing into her* prey outside Math today.  * Douds also points out that “this red-tail is of a size that makes her more likely to be female, since female raptors tend to be about a third larger than […]

Remember how this weekend was all balmy and lovely? Are you loving today’s ultra-freeze? The winter season seems to be in full swing, but campus is a little behind. Behold Liz Naiden’s montage of delightful fall foliage after the jump. If you’d like to submit a photo essay, we’d love to publish it! Send photography […]

We just posted about nominating your favorite political figures, writers, scientists and members of Vampire Weekend for this year’s Columbia College Class Day speaker. If you’re unsure of whom to pick, Bwog’s put together a quick list of people we’d think would be good choices. Feel free to argue with us or suggest your own […]

The Class Council of the Columbia College graduating class of 2009 is urging that all seniors submit nominations for this year’s Class Day Speaker. Using your nominations, the council members will present a “wish list” to Quigley, who will then invite those 5-8 possible speakers. This is all of course assuming that there are more […]

Street-shopping is a time-honored city tradition. There is nothing a New Yorker loves to brag about so much as their new pashmina scarf/gloves/rip-off handbag that they got “on the street for like 5 dollars!” – nothing, that is, except for scoring something cheap and vintage. Morningside Heightsers embracing the mantra of their adoptive home can […]

Today the real world inches every closer for CU Seniors. Registration begins today for the last classes seniors will ever take at Columbia University until they attend grad school here in a few years. No pressure, and happy registering!

Your personal artistic freedom, limited no longer! Your life in a Columbia dorm: restrictive, your life in a semi-real apartment building: restrictive also One week till you get to vote once again and decide whether ROTC will restrict your rights on campus Will Columbia “diversify a predominantly white and male administration” in picking a new […]

Everyone’s upset and running amok.  Bwog covered it all. The Ivy League is dismayed, and it’s our fault.  Lively prefers us over Yale, we virtually destroyed Brown’s virtual campus, and football actually tore up Cornell’s (actual?) football field. Columbians are panicked; knives and germs are everywhere.  Someone was assaulted and someone was stabbed.  Public Safety […]

Our chapter of the American Medical Student Association will be holding a premed study break this evening. Free hot chocolate and free (presumably hot) coffee will be found tonight at 9:00 PM in the West Ramp Lounge in Lerner. Bwog also presumes that you can get in by off-handedly mentioning that you’re considering premed, even […]
