Oh Manhattanville! My Manhattanville, rise beyond the eminent domain! Barackin’ it at the Apollo Spectator interviews…Radiohead???  Quigs, you’ve got some explaining to do Welcome back to fourth grade.  

Boredatbutler is back, but it’s not just for Butlerites anymore. A while ago, founder Jonathan Pappas, CC ’06, relaunched the site as BoredatColumbia, in conjunction with duplicate sites at a whole host of not-quite-as-bored schools across the country. Recently, he added listings, which may just fill the void of Dogears and supplement Facebook and Craigslist […]

Remember Richard Bulliet? Remember the whole Ahmadinejad fiasco? Well history professor Bulliet was the one who extended the invite. Though for most people the drama has died down, some grudges remain. The site Richard W. Bulliet — Ratfink pretty much says it all. It’s even listed on Wikipedia as the “Unauthorized Richard W. Bulliet Homepage,” […]

What are those big black panels out on Low Plaza? In keeping with the new trend of self-expression, they’re collages created at the events at Teachers College in the last couple of days focused on homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, and Islamophobia. In case you still feel left out, there’s a whole wall for you just to […]

Israel is one of few countries on earth with two independence days: sure, you could celebrate the Jewish state’s independence on May 14th (or on the 5th of Iyar, if you prefer), in recognition of David Ben Gurion’s declaration of the state of Israel after the termination of the British mandate. But if one independence day […]

Gartenfeld- editor, IP tracker, headhunter. The eternal dilemma for Barnard students. No not, tampons vs. pads. Carrie Bradshaw vs. Judith Butler. Rhodes Scholars- they’re really really modest. I hear pitchfork gave Wolf Shirt Lesbians a 8.7. It’s okay if you never leave campus, the rest of New York isn’t much compared to Morningside Heights

Activists disagree with something? You don’t say! For ten cents a day, you too can have your very own Iraqi refugee. So Day Out Against Hate is bad, because there won’t be any hate acts committed on that day. Right… And another bizarre scientific study proves that smiling is harmful. Canada, eh?

Feel better–you could be getting waterboarded! So says Amnesty International, the group responsible for that brightly attired fellow out on Low Plaza, also putting on a panel this evening on torture. Don’t worry, they rotate out every few minutes (not quite as hardcore as this, but we get the message). In other social justicy news […]

Several Bwog editors retrieved the passwords of their middle school AIM screen names and entered a chatroom to discuss Todd Haynes’ new Dylan “biopic” I’m Not There. Heath Ledger was taken down a notch, David Cross was lauded, and Yorkie avatars were chosen.  Today’s Yorkie Roundtable features: Armin Rosen  Andrew Flynn      Maryam Parhizkar […]

For those who need a refresher on Columbia’s new philosophy magazine, here’s an interview from earlier this year. Their current issue is available now and here’s some of what’s in it (page numbers are by the number in the pdf): An Explanation of What the Hell a “Work” Issue is About (p.3)  Columbia Undergraduate Philosophy […]

Hate3 Students Fight Law, Law Wins “Are women human?”  “Green Cakes” Not As Bad as They Sound Courteous, Professional, Racist?   

So the U.S has been fighting this war for the past few years– you may have heard of it. It’s taken a lot of lives, cost a lot of money, and generally spiraled into a mess of civil war, religious strife, torture, and global disapproval. Listening to Ambassador Hamid Al Bayati recite his government’s policy […]

Who gave the College Libertarians chalk?!                 UPDATE 12:24 PM: Bwog daily editor David Iscoe spotted the chalky Libertarian and/or ironist last night. Says David: “I saw him drawing another one (“Ron Paul cured my apathy”) on the sidewalk near (I think) Kim’s, the guy was a somewhat […]

Bwog has recently been made privy to Grand Central, a Google-owned program that allows users to sign up for one number that will make all your phones ring when called (both landlines and cellphones). Grand Central also has numerous creepy/cool features like requiring people to state the reason for their call before getting to speak with you and allowing […]

It seems Havana Central has gotten their hands on the email addresses of several Columbia student groups! Lately they’ve been spamming inboxes with invitations to celebrate New Years Eve with the good folks at the wholly unpopular M’side watering hole. The flyer advertises “strong Cuban drinks PLUS New Years party favors” (emphasis ours). But wait! […]
