Bwog squeezed in to the back room of Havana Central last night for the Varsity Show preview. Always willing to yield an unsolicited and uninformed opinion for just about anything, we summarized our staff’s general consensus in the following review. The preview kicked off with an immediately stale #OccupyButler themed musical number, and we were quickly flooded […]
Earlier today, the Columbia University Muslim Student Association released a statement of concern in response to reports that the New York Police Department has been surveilling Muslim students at Columbia. Their primary target, however, was the Columbia administration, which has yet to directly address the student body regarding the situation. PrezBo did release a press statement […]
Each and every Wednesday, Bwog collects a list of places you should be in and around campus. If today’s balmy weather doesn’t have you outside, these great events should! If you would like your film/song/dance featured, please e-mail us at events@bwog.com. Wednesday Film: The Lark Farm, 6 pm in Havemeyer 209, discussion at 8 pm. The […]
To celebrate the launch of their Fall 2011 edition, Helvidius, the Journal of Politics and Society, invites you to drop by Lerner 555 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm today to pick up a copy of the journal, eat free Westside, and hear the wise words of Joe Nocera. Nocera is the author of many-a-NYT op-ed, and […]
We’ll answer your esoteric housing questions. Send them to housing@bwog.com or drop them in the comments. Q: As a senior BC student I’m getting pulled in to a quad by other senior CU students. Is there a form my CU friends have to submit letting CC housing know that a BC student is getting pulled in? As a BC […]
Kind of on the fence about lending a hand to your fellow man? Columbia Community Outreach wonders—would it help if you got a free tee-shirt? No? Uh… how about a pair of sunglasses? Free breakfast? Free pizza, you say? Done. CCO’s promo vid misses the mark—after all, nothing says, “I’m an altruist,” like a video […]
If you thought the improvement from John Jay’s Chinese New Year faux-feast to its Valentine’s extravaganza meant things were looking up, think again. Mardi Gras Maven Alison Herman reports on how last night’s carnival-ous dinner merited little celebration. As with any decent restaurant, lack of a wait means the food’s probably not worth waiting for. […]
Whether you’re attracted by NPR‘s description of Pearl and the Beard as “folksy pop trio with a flair for lovely acoustic Americana” or intrigued by Daytrotter‘s more colorful report that listening to the band is like “looking into the piercing eyes of tumult,” Lerner is the place for you to be this lunch hour. The group […]
Lit Hum: Read The Iliad, or at least see it condensed into a one-man play. (Backstage) CC: Do not burn the Koran. Ever. (Bloomberg, Reuters, Washington Post, Daily Mail, CNN, NYT) FroSci: Comment intelligibly on a supermassive black hole. And no, not the Muse song. (The Register) PE: Go whitewater rafting to spy on people, then crack […]
Last night, Vice-President of the Arts & Sciences Nicholas Dirks delivered the annual University Lecture, entitled “Scholars and Spies: Worldly Knowledge and the Predicament of the University.” The following classified report was submitted by Bwog’s own scholarly spy, Peter Sterne (who—full disclosure—is in Dirks’ CC class). Classical music came from the speakers as people scrambled […]
I left a large black samsonite backpack with a macbook and other school notes at The Abbey on Saturday, February 18th. The computer is of no use to anyone but me since it is password protected, and I will offer a SUBSTANTIAL REWARD. Please contact sd2556@barnard.edu if you have any info.
