For those of you who missed the dance at the Intrepid Museum because you weren’t OLs or freshman during last year’s NSOP event, and for those of you who need to walk down the memory lane of that night one last time, you should hurry up and go, because the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space […]

In which Bwog football correspondent Christopher “CML” Morris-Lent returns to document the unlikely triumphs of Columbia’s pigskin throwers.  This afternoon featured yet another Columbia home football game at Baker Field, this time against Georgetown.  The Lions sought to improve their record to 2-0 and thus keep their win/loss ratio at the exorbitant figure of infinity.  […]

The awkwardly named 20th Annual Anti-Gentrification Community Awareness Festival, a protest-cum-block party organized by the anti-expansion Coalition to Preserve Community (check out their impressive new site), went down this afternoon down the hill at Tiemann Place. Articles and pictures from the CPC’s past exploits festooned a central table, staffed by its ever-present leader Tom DeMott […]

In which film savant Iggy Cortez recommends we find our inner music-lover. Micheal Haneke’s Caché was probably last year’s best film, an engaging anti-thriller about repressed personal and national guilt. However, it was not the first time Haneke had confronted his audience with universal ethical dilemmas. In movies such as Funny Games and Code Inconnu, […]

If you read the recent Spec article, you know that professors across the blogosphere are now at risk. What they write online could result in a loss of promotions, denied tenure, or trolls eating their firstborn. Bwog decided to send Dan D’Addario to look at a few faculty blogs. What did we learn? A great […]

Bwog has been tipped off to a seemingly inexplicable makeover: the bathroom near the swipe desk in Carman has been redone and turned into a “Lactation Room.” Most seriously. If you are a woman, a baby, or handicapped, you can check it out. And, by all means, do. The possibilities are endless.   As are […]

In its typical stalker fashion, Bwog followed a group of children this afternoon, fascinated by their caretakers’ kid control technique. What would happen if we tugged the string?  The leaders, apparently, have a better way of dealing with differently-minded youngsters. “S-T-O-P everyone! Someone got a flat tire,” one said, and the line came to a […]

Student councils not pussies, unlike non-Ice Hockey players Corporate whore or effete intellectual? Now you don’t have to choose! Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we poop on him Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we want to have an open cultural dialogue Jake’s One Regret

Previewing Stiglitz’s Next Best-Seller Last Tuesday night’s World Leaders Forum kickoff event was billed as “a discussion with distinguished panelists” on the subject of globalization. It ended up more like the first leg of a book tour for University Professor and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who monopolized the event, discussing his forthcoming manifesto, Making Globalization Work. No […]

So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping… continuing with some lucky Barnard seniors…. After years in cramped doubles, Lala, Masha, Frances, and Samantha got their golden ticket  to a […]

Always up for controversy, Bwog perked up this morning at a Spectator headline declaring that President Ahmadinejad of Iran had been invited to speak at Columbia. We soon e-mailed Public Affairs Director Robert Hornsby to see if he could save a seat for us, and minutes later recieved this response: “Event was never scheduled. – […]

  Let’s not kid ourselves- we’ve all been rudely awoken by the ungodly shrieking of a fire alarm and we’ve all cursed the name and bodily person of the (usually) faceless, unknown culprits. But, thanks to the personal touch of Columbia Housing and Dining, fire alarm emails have recently included the specific suite numbers of […]
