Bwog’s Barnard Bureau Chief Renée Kraiem reports from last night’s SGA meeting. Last night, Rep Council met in a new (but temporary) location, the Sulzberger North Tower. The majestic North Tower wasn’t the only thing different about last night’s meeting; over half of the Reps are serving their rookie years, and some veterans have traded […]
Today is the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Similar to last year, we direct your attention to some reflections on 9/11. In 2005, NPR interviewed members of the Barnard Class of 2005, who were freshmen during the attacks. Last year, the Eye spoke to alums […]
Update: A commenter says that FTFs are actually part of LionLink, not ARC. We’re not sure the distinction matters, but there you go. Bwog’s new ESC correspondent, Aria Sharma, files this report from a relatively quiet meeting last night. New E-forms: Siddhant Bhatt, VP of Finance, introduced ARC (Accounting and Reporting at Columbia), a financial […]
In Chicago, it’s usually the students who skip class, but now the teachers are on strike. (Chicago Tribune) Journals tend to publish well-written and well-thought out pieces, but the Morningside Review is planning to publish UWriting essays. (Spec) Employees (especially young ones) are generally warned not to be full of themselves, but a new Columbia […]
First Prize, a box set of Literature Humanities books from Book Culture, goes to Laura H.T.: At the consent workshop, coming up (no pun intended) with ways to proposition someone. One group has a Harry Potter fetish: “I’ll show you 9 3/4.” Second prize, a six-pack and a slice of Koronet pizza, goes to Tanay […]
If you love pizza/hate walking up the Hamilton stairs, it’s probably a sign that you’re destined to join Peer Health Exchange. Find out tonight at 9 pm (and again on Wednesday at 9 pm)—they’re holding an info session in Hamilton 301, and free pizza is on the agenda. Because what else would there be a picture […]
Maren Killackey braves political promises and an ice cream buffet to bring you the updates from the first CCSC meeting of the year. The Satow Room abnormally peopled with student leaders, overachieving freshmen, and ice cream-loving freeloaders, the air of last night’s inaugural Columbia College Student Council meeting was rife with anticipation and excitement, albeit […]
With such a large and diverse student body [read: so much time spent dwelling in Butler like a vampire bat], it’s easy to miss out on some of the outstanding people on campus. Significant examples are Daniel O’Neill (CC ’13), James Wiseman (CC ‘ 13), and Emma Kahle (CC ’14), the recently named world champions […]
Earlier today, Spec reported that police had arrested a young woman who’s been posing as a Columbia freshman for the past few weeks, despite having no official Columbia enrollment (or enrollment at any Columbia-affiliated school. The woman told freshmen and OLs that her name was “Rhea Sen” and Spec reported she was about 20 years old, […]
Politicians, long known for bizarre cultural practices, are once again trying to convince voters that they’re human– or at least more so than the other guy. (WaPo, Buzzfeed) This week Lincoln Center is swarming with people that Bwog assumes are dressed for some sort of elaborate mating ritual. (NYMag) In addition to throwing and kicking things, […]
