Adam Katz brings us a discussion of the October 17th talk sponsored by the Poetry Society of America on the life and poetry of Pablo Neruda. The Tribeca Performing Arts Center of the Borough of Manhattan Community College was set off by the blue and green lights to lend it the “wine-dark” appearance of a […]

In which the most recent issue of The Blue and White gets bwogged like everything else: Columbia profs to Columbia profs: all y’all students are morons, and gossip Research monkeys pee in public, go to therapy, and refuse to take notes Coach Norries Wilson, hinged The cleansing power of the Slavic Oak See copies of […]

With great power comes…great attention.  Even from the most unlikely of sources:  Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, has written of his support for the Minuteman protesters on his website.  The organization’s inspiring press release can be read here.  More interesting, however, is an article submitted by a reader of RCP’s site, entitled […]

An article in today’s New York Times takes a step back to look at President Bollinger’s track record on dealing with free speech issues in the last few years, given a run of pesky controversies. Why doesn’t Yale ever have to deal with this kind of thing?  …maybe because they’re having too much fun following […]

“Bwog.NET?” readers ask themselves. “Isn’t that domain suffix for second-rate websites? All my favorite websites are .com!” While .net is stereotypically associated with lower-quality websites than .com, .org, .edu, and .cx, Bwog analyst David Iscoe set out, in the pursuit of truth and self-preservation, to prove that many .net websites were indeed worthy of your […]

The  textbook bartering-cum-selling website, DogEars, seems to have disappeared at some point within the past week.  Although there are probably few/no students trying to get rid of books at this point, Bwog is nervous.  Meanwhile, check out the other DogEars for all of your Canadian topography needs.

Vampire Weekend is not a bunch of hipsters, puh-lease. The band, comprised primarily of the most recent batch of Columbia graduates, is preparing to break out beyond the campus music scene. Sure they all live in Brooklyn but, come on, they love Africa and LaCoste.  Just last spring they played at a Yacht-themed party at […]

Bwog tried to find recipes that were as simple as possible, but the fact is […]

All things Asian converged on Low Plaza last night for Nightmarket, a delightful scrum of food, lights, music, and Dance Dance Revolution. Comestibles, sold in chunks for a dollar at most booths, ranged from the authentic to the untraditional, with frosted cupcakes on hand to wash down miso soup and wontons. The entertainment was equally […]

The vending machines in Lerner may no longer afford you the opportunity to get an Ipod with your diet Coke, but their swanky offering nevertheless continue to boggle the mind. The Bwog snapped a couple of photos of exciting additions to the snazzy ensemble: a $20.00 Metrocard (for $19.60!) and a $50 Bluetooth phone! This […]

A trifle frustrated by his team’s inability to score any points against Penn last Saturday, head football coach and august leader Norries Wilson held a rather incendiary press conference following the game, during which he embarked on a rant of symphonic proportions. Here Bwog recaps the diatribe about everything related to football ever in a […]

This just in from Public Safety. As always, Bwog suggests you remain vigilant and secure your valuables. On October 18, 2006, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:35 p.m., the suspect described below, robbed or attempted to rob four different victims.  Three of the crimes occurred on W. 112 St. between Riverside Drive and […]

“Do stockbroker-grads really need the categorical imperative?” asks Task Force on Undergraduate Education. Meet the people who make indignantly served, 4AM indigestion possible! Suddenly, Wien looks pretty damn good. Dialogue is hard. Let’s start bustin’ skulls. STAFF EDITORIAL: Teach Old People to Use the Internet

It’s the story that keeps on telling. Bwog presents a few bits of Minuteman news that have come out in the last few hours: Item # 1: Stephen Colbert is one-upping Jon Stewart tonight by bringing none other than Jim Gilchrist himself onto the show (airing at 11:30 and 1:30) as a special guest. Word? […]

For your personal edification, we present another hard-hitting article from the October issue. Out now! It’s sports-tastical! Columbia University is now offering an MS in Sports Management. This is the punch line. Like the ones about British dentistry schools. “We’ve always been good at the gentlemanly and the ladylike athletics,” Lucas Rubin, the program’s director, […]
