Yesterday, our very own Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate for economics, stopped by Zuccotti Park to talk to the protestors, along with fellow economist Jeff Madrick. Because the demonstrators are not allowed to amplify sound in any way, the speeches are repeated a sentence at a time by the crowd so that the words can […]
Overheard from Dr. Evelyn Hughes during a Frontiers of Science lecture today: “Just because physicists don’t show videos of frogs doing it, that doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking about it.” We’ll follow suit and spare you, but while we’re on the subject, we may as well introduce you fresh batch of College folk to what […]
Every once in a while, as you’re frantically skimming through your reading before discussion section wondering how you’re possibly going to remember any of it, you’ll spot a sentence like any of the following and find your answer.

They’ve done it for publicity and fame, and now it’s your turn to join the age fabrication trend. Barnard’s Junior Class Council is offering free cake in the Diana to anyone whose birthday is in September or October. Change your Facebook birthday/pray your fake ID had it right and head over there!
Sadly, the pair of cranes visible in the distance from the 1 stop at 125th street is not an elaborate teaser for a new surprise Star Wars installment (we’re crushed, too).

Does this hyperambitious SAT beasting, global citizen remind you of… you? At the very least, it probably sounds like one of your suitemates and the guy you’re sitting next to in class right now, too. You are all participating in aggressive intellectual capital hoarding, FYI. (NYT) Now that doesn’t mean we don’t understand it was a […]

Wall Street isn’t the only place where discontent New Yorkers are fighting The Man. This Furnald first-year and her Target-bought novelty door stickers are spreading a dire warning throughout the undergraduate community. You can’t trust the system…..mannnnn.
Then stop by the Bwog meeting tonight. Make your way to the Event Oval Entrance in the Diana at 7pm—not the SGO as usual!!! for warmth, company, and delicious snacks. We’ll talk of features, new pitches, and anything else you’d like to see cropping up ’round this part of the interwebs. And it’ll give you […]
