These homemade cracker packets are all over the path between Lerner and Low. Explain.

Bwog continues to revel in ethnic stereotypes. Overheard at the end of an Arabic class: Female Student: I’m really sorry, but I won’t be able to make it to class on Wednesday. It’s Passover. Male Student: Neither will I. Sorry. Female Student: I’ll bring back some food for the class! Male Student: And I’ll bring […]

If you missed this morning’s email from Michelle Oh, it’s a doozy. A few students figured out how to vote online without showing up at the official CCSC voting booth (the Bwog would be happy to introduce our student government to a concept known as “password protection”). In some kind of bid for fairness, now […]

Fern Diaz attacks the Lazy Mexican stereotype. Lazy Mexicans to consider striking. A Jewish president elected. ‘Matzo Hard to Pass Over’…get it?…eh?

If you missed the hundreds of high school seniors roaming around campus today, know that there are three more Days on Campus event left. And that while the afternoon barbeque is guarded, the breakfast buffet is not. While it’s all fun and games and stealing food for us, the Class of 2006/2010 is making some […]

Freshman boy to his friend as he walked out the door after voting: “Anthony Walker is the man!” Win or lose, Bwog agrees. One of a gaggle of freshman girls noisily huddled by the John Jay elevators: “I was only going to vote for our class council because I don’t know any older people, but […]

Anna Corke reports in from CCSC voting on Low Plaza, nabbing some choice quotes and conducting a quick exit poll. Voting continues on Low until 7pm tonight and starts up against 9am tomorrow. For a full list of voting times and locations, see comments. Results of an extremely unscientific and brief exit poll: 2009 Class […]

A group of 15 student activists have entered Low Library, and are refusing to leave until President Bollinger re-re-commits to sweatshop-free apparel production. The sit-in comes just hours before a planned talk entitled “Coping with Globalization” featuring NY Times columnist Paul Krugman. We’re guessing Krugman’s coping doesn’t involve hand-painted signs. Students at 10 universities are […]

No word yet on why Ferguson hated freedom PrezBo’s letter after the jump

‘subtly layered urban experience’ ‘the weight of history and the lightness of clouds’ ‘the work of a master who has reached full maturity.’ Esoteric new form of free verse? No–just selections from today’s New York Times review of the latest creation of Renzo Piano, the Italian architect whom Columbia has retained to design its space-agey […]

Seth Flaxman: Passionate Realist. SHOCC finally has the courage to take on the real enemy: Mona Lounge. Miriam Datskovsky finally has the courage to take on the real enemy: Facebook. Francine du Plessix Gray to speak at Liberty University.

The NYT has jumped on the West End lamentation boat and is riding it out to sea. Unrelated but also in today’s Times: Morningside Park inhabited by feral turkey.

For the past five years, Bill Wetzel has been perusing the streets of NYC wearing a bold-print sign that reads, “TALK TO ME.” Thousands of people from every borough have talked to him. Now he talks to B&W staffer Sarah Eberle. How did you originally get involved with “Talk-to-Me”-ing? I attended NYU for a year […]

Ever wonder how Saussure would interpret the Flex party’s campaign posters? Sam Cohen, the Blue and White’s official semiotician, has the answer. First off, what is semiotics? Semiotics is the study of symbols and signs. This includes both written/textual symbols, as in words, as well as things like traffic signs and cultural icons, basically everything […]

The Bwog is just a little bit obsessed with Eric Wang’s University Senate campaign video, characterized by heartfelt earnesty, dismal attempts at comedy, strategic endorsements, and a killer depiction of EC hate crimes. Also, how Marques’ name changes halfway through his clip.
