Goldean Takes The Gold

By Bwog Staff on Jul 15, 2012 17 Comments

We asked, and you answered—with a 90s reference, of course. With 46% of the total votes, Goldean is the official new nickname for interim Dean Goldfarb, to be used henceforth in all Bwog posts and relevant legalese*. No word yet on whether Goldean will embrace his new name, but we’re like 90% sure this makes PrezBo Ash […]

Royal Pains on Campus

By Bwog Staff on Jul 13, 2012 6 Comments

Overheard off […]

By Bwog Staff on Jul 11, 2012 8 Comments

In a combination of astronomy and municipal history, the “Manhattanhenge” phenomena, “discovered” by Columbia’s own Neil DeGrasse Tyson, occurs today and tomorrow (July 11 and 12) at sunset.

Columbia Housing Announces Free Access (Except For Barnard Students) To New York Times

Bwog Staff 3

add NYT to JJs and swipe access that Columbia students have over Barnard
And Caroline!
free information
free stuff
not free food unfortunately
shouldn't all information be free?
sorry barnard
Thanks Ben and Viv!
Thanks to all councils
wasn't asking for this but also not rejecting it
we guess there are legal limits that would prevent a uniform statement like that
