AltSpec: Pride, Prejudice, and Parasites

By Bwog Staff on May 31, 2009 1 Comments

It was this man’s vision to lead SEAS, of all things. Columbia grads spawn from the east coast to represent the entire country around the world. Green monkeys. Chalfie’s dream finally comes to pass.

Printing Your Readings Now Slightly Less Damaging to The Environment

By Bwog Staff on May 27, 2009 11 Comments

It’s an old trick that saves both trees and money: printing flyers and rough drafts on already-used paper (by feeding the blank side in). Now, CUIT and campus group Green Umbrella have brought that technique to campus printers, converting one of the printers in Mudd’s Engineering Terrace to used paper. According to Green Umbrella’s Hannah […]

Our “Red Light” Sexual Harassment Policy

By Bwog Staff on May 25, 2009 21 Comments

The free-speech-on-campus group FIRE has released its new report on free speech at Columbia, giving the university a “red light” rating.
