This is for a very narrow section of the population, namely for those of you bored in class, reading Bwog, and contemplating a shower on your return to your dorm in EC.  Tough luck.  There will be no running water in EC for an indefinite period of time.  The reason?  Only the delightfully intriguing “emergency […]

Come on Spec copy editors, what’s a Legistation?    This article needs a more descriptive title: how about One Step Closer to Robot Soldiers? This Mexican restaurant needs a better name: how about Chipotle’s Ugly Cousin? Bwog’s not all criticism, though!  A gold star to the very appropriate alliteration in this title!  And a crime […]

Mariela Quintana reflects on a day of reflection and offers suggestions to make this year’s Lent the most productive (and honest) one yet.  Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40 day period of prayer, penitence and self-denial before Easter.   Lent is a theologically complex and profoundly spiritual time for Christians and requires […]

Barnard’s 2011 Class Council is offering $1 Valentine’s Day candygrams. They had a booth set up in the lobby of Sulzberger on Monday and Tuesday from 5-7 PM, and the same booth will also be there tonight and tomorrow (Thursday) evening from 5-7.

Michael Snyder, Bwog’s resident off-campus theatre critic, serves up his thoughts on the Broadway rendition of Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming. Now that Harold Pinter has been awarded the Nobel prize, his plays have officially entered the canon, and yet a play like The Homecoming, now in a wonderful revival at the Cort Theatre on 48th […]

An anonymous tipster let Bwog know that the rock bands scheduled at everyone’s favorite ramped building will not be playing “for security reasons.”  The bands that Bwog knows were nixed include Beta Theta Pi’s The Stolen Cars, jazz/metal Columbia band Wizards of the Coast and Bowie-imitating Brooklyn rockers Dasher.  Bwog is disappointed that we will […]

Thanks to an email from a Bwog tipster, it seems that recent shenanigans at John Jay’s Blue Java Express are coming to an ignominious end.  It appears that the wool has been pulled over one too many Columbian’s eyes, as this tipster put an end to recent Blue Java trickery…   Bwog Editors, I thought […]

Super Tuesday, almost as good as the Superbowl!  Even better if you watch at 1020. Super Tuesday, almost as cool as Wolf Blitzer’s beard! What more can you ask from the frats?  More Nikolai and cheap beer please. RA’s, Chateau D’If style.  C’mon, who hangs their milk in a plastic bag outside of their window? […]

O Fortuna, ye who spins your wheel to decide the fate of those who would seek the highest office in the land. And o mainstream media, ye whose color-coordinated interactive maps and expertly crafted graphics enrapture the most Butler-weary soul. As of 8 p.m. on Tuesday night, the Lerner piano lounge was filled with nearly […]

Last night, the ESC and their political colleagues assembled for its second formal meeting of the semester. Policy, Glass House Rocks, and mystery were aplenty. Bwogger Tony Gong reports. The meeting began unremarkably as several representatives of outside groups began to brag about all the things they had done. First up was the CC ’09 […]

Bwog contributor and newly-experienced voter Mariela Quintana polls former virgins of the democratic process and reflects on ballots cast and chances lost.  Today was my first time. As I was walking to class this morning, I felt a bit jittery and apprehensive—and it had nothing to do with the two cups of coffee I had […]

Sustainable development loving John Legend fan Jeffrey Sachs and incredibly wealthy person Jeff Flug were recently photographed at Tom’s Restaurant for an article on CNN.com about the faces of philanthropy. Faces aside, we’re actually more drawn to Flug’s hand, which appears disturbingly huge. “Like his commitment to charity!” observed a Bwog contributor.  The article points […]

In Brooklyn, Bwog editor Zach van Schouwen extemporizes on electioneering, and inadvertently gets disenfranchised. The lines weren’t terribly long by 8 AM at P.S. 110 in Greenpoint, where a few disheveled hipsters joined the contingent of elderly Polish men to cast a vote for one or more candidates. Stumbling blindly around the outside of the […]

Last week, first-years received an email from AlcoholEdu announcing a contest. Alcohol Edu, always on top of the latest zeitgeist-y cultural references asked: “Is college really like Old School or Animal House?” Responses could take any form of expression (hear that, you creative types?) from essays to drawings to videos.  Bwog found this quite coincidental, […]

Vampire Weekend not worth the $10 you didn’t pay for their CD on iTunes Breaking: Super Bowl more popular, lucrative than environmentalism   No asterisk for the vowel?   It’s a walk-off! CC’s got Obama, GS has about what you’d expect The cookbook that Americans…er, New Yorkers…er, diet-conscious East Harlemites can’t get enough of!   […]
