A few snippets from the Bwog blog family.  Wang: Barbie, don’t! Sex and the Ivy: Typical Harvard Snobbery Cu Eco Reps: I’ll maintain that a fish isn’t too polluted to eat until it has three eyes Overheard in New York: Now there’s something you could put on a T-shirt Light Reading: Bwog’s inferiority complex is […]

Or so says 95-year-old philanthropist John Templeton, who, among his billionaire chums, must endow the most mystical foundation. The John Templeton Foundation has power-given millions of dollars to scientists researching questions of God, ethics, and spirituality. One of their projects, buried within their labyrinthine website, is a ranking of the colleges most committed to building […]

Zahra Khimji and Bwog editor Maryam Parhizkar write about a very long cycling trip with a very noble mission. While in the United States people are constantly striving for ways to save the environment and stop global warming, Iranians too are striving for ways to promote peace environmental awareness.  Somayeh Yousefi and Jafar Edrisi, an […]

In spite of this busy time of year, Bwog did manage to get away for a few moments and witness Chowdah and Sweeps’ self-proclaimed “Very Special Holiday Special” in Furnald Lounge tonight. Sweeps performed a domino chain of improv skits complete with reference to broken families, broken chia pets, peanut butter blasphemy, and linear references […]

…breaking gender barriers! ….the soon-approaching death of CULPA???  …fancy foodstuffs (yum yum yum)! …reminiscence of things that have actually “worked” on campus  …columnists’ Obama plugs?  

Bwog correspondent and masthead editor Justin Vlasits spoke to Robert Maschio, CC ’88 and The Todd on Scrubs, about “The Todd Song”, the Writers’ Guild strike, his days at Columbia and In Rainbows. Let’s start with the big news of the day.  You’re debuting “The Todd Song” on your website and it seems to be […]

College Walk is crammed with merrymakers for the annual tree-lighting ceremony.  All in all, it is a very Columbia Christmas: the Kingsmen modified “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” with a verse on lovebirds PrezBo and Ahmadinejad and Eric Foner gave a Bush-bashing speech about critical thinking in the new year.  An unfortunate elderly gentlemen […]

Hey all you former Deaniacs–Howard‘s coming to campus! The College Dems have landed a speaking engagement with the presidential-candidate-turned- party boss for “January or February.” Speakers coordinator Nate Morgante, CC ’09, wasn’t sure exactly when Dean would be rolling in, but a go-ahead from the DNC made him confident enough to spill the beans anyway.  […]

OK, not forever, but for the semester at least, and Professor Jackson’s concluding session contained a bonanza of “editorials” for the gathered masses in 417 IAB. On why people aren’t moving to the suburbs to get away from Jews, Italians, and black people any more because of 9/11: “I think Americans are simpleminded. We can […]

Tipster Alex Port says… “Walked into uris to find two tables lined with hundreds of free jelly donuts in honor of the festival of lights. As revenge for not being able to swipe DD$ at uris, we should eat all their donuts, get the word out.” Word has it that CCSC reps are also outside […]

Coming soon to Fox News- True Life: I was a male escort. Creepy crawlers. Another attempt to ameliorate Manhattanville-guilt. It’s not that I’m not smart, it’s that I go to Columbia. Another day, another diatribe on racism.   

Barnard–always two steps ahead of the curve. A choir of ten girls would pique most man’s interest. This week in absurdity, The Eye recommends you drop $259 on a humidifier.  When so-called (recent) indie films range from Napoleon Dynamite to Brick, the term “indie-itis” is devoid of any meaning. The new New Museum.

A band of revelers led by a wildly gesticulating Santa Claus made waves across Columbia this afternoon, prompting several tipsters to ask “wtf?”. The possibly drunk, underweight Saint Nicholas and his six disciples marched across campus twice today, interrupting classes, being mistaken for CUMB, and playing, among other things, a rousing rendition of It Don’t […]

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and what makes people jollier than politics? The Democrats and Republicans are getting their fix these next few days before finals set in. Tonight, the Democrats are running a Maucus, a mock version of the Iowa caucus. Centuries ago, Roman emperor and CC author Maucus Aurelius was named one […]
