Yesterday, we reported that at the ESC meeting, the GSSC liason said that Barnard was “seeking gender-blind housing.” According to SGA President Sarah Besnoff, Barnard is not actively seeking anything.  “SGA Rep Council as a whole has not formally passed any resolution about the topic, nor have we discussed the logistics.  However, SGA Rep Council […]

Are you kept up at night by financial fears?  Yes…but PrezBo is always there for me with his consoling words.  Are you proud to be an American now with an Obama Presidency?  Yes…but Obama’s Presidency could be as disastrous as the Trojan War was for the Greeks!  Wait, who won that war?   Better check Sparknotes… […]

Bwog Daily Editor James Downie reports from tonight’s anti-NROTC panel. Apologies to those commenters who requested a liveblog — I felt this was one issue where I might want to make especially sure my notes were accurate. Regardless, those who did not join the 50 or so students in Lerner Cinema earlier tonight did not […]

Bwog Lecture Hopper David Berke attended tonight’s Heyman lecture, starring Orhan Pamuk with Andreas Huyssen. Special Brinkley cameo towards the beginning! Deep in the catacombs of the Kraft Center, Nobel Prize Laureate/MEALAC professor Orhan Pamuk spoke to a basement of eager listeners, the packed room filled beyond capacity.  The literary luminary, who moonlights as a […]

A tipster has just forwarded the following PrezBo Communique to Bwog, in which your President assures recipients that despite the terrifyingly awful economy—PrezBo refers to it as “a landscape largely defined by uncertainty,” but a crisis by any other name…—Columbia will be just fine, thank you. For one thing, the University is still ahead of […]

The New York Times ran a lovely piece today on Judie Lomax, a recent transfer from Oregon State and a new member to the women’s basketball team. At Oregon State, “she averaged 10.9 points and 7.7 rebounds a game and led the Pac-10 by hitting 64.5 percent of her shots,” which athletically inclined friends of […]

With the NROTC survey scheduled for the week of November 24th (the days before Thanksgiving), normally the events and editorials would already be flying back and forth. But with some sort of “election” last week, student groups are only just now coming around to the NROTC debate. Leading opposition to the return of NROTC is […]

Today is Veterans Day, but the local RiteAid has already fallen victim to a vicious attack by Christmas decorations. Bwog assumes the ladder is temporary. RiteAid is not the first victim of this offensive — others include Starbucks and Duane Reade (all the way back in September). If your friends or favorite establishment come down […]

Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Sean Zimmermann attended last night’s ESC meeting. Resolutions about exams were passed, gender-blind housing might be on the way, and everyone agreed to learn about the importance of BBQ safety. “I danced DDR like I was in a lactation lounge,” said one ESC class council member. To which his female colleague […]

Seniors should start making their way towards the Lerner auditorium, as the class of 2009 has til 2 PM today to Apply For Their Degrees, time-honored tradition of ceremonial inconvenience.   

A state plan to revitalize the lifeblood of Harlem. An Abyssinian white tie extravaganza celebrates Rev. Butts’ service.  The Clintons have always been known to throw a good party. TFA and the economy make altruism sexy again. Seniors will have none of the economy’s doom and gloom when tackling the job market this year. BaseNow […]

Taking a cue from PrezBo, SEAS hosted its own “fireside” chat Monday night to address students’ concerns on a broad range of topics.  The digs were markedly less than splendiforous than 60 Morningside Drive – the Carleton Lounge on the first floor of Mudd is less than inviting, as its occupants often feel like they’re […]

Following news of a stabbing at the 110th Street subway stop, and Barnard’s out-of-the-blue announcement its Public Safety Department will be patrolling residence halls, Columbia Public Safety released news of an “attempted robbery” early Saturday morning at 123rd and Amsterdam. The victim, an unnamed CC student, was attacked by two males who fled on foot.  […]

Bwog Daily Editor Eliza Shapiro investigates the sonic background of Westside Market. It is fun to dance when you are drunk. It is fun to eat food when you are drunk. It is fun to do both these things very late at night. Westside Market lets you do it all: it is a bastion of […]
