Last night a star-studded panel featuring PrezBo, David Ignatius, Salman Rushdie, Michael Schudson and Michael Doyle, convened in the Rotunda for a discussion titled “Free Speech in a Globalized World,” which focused on PrezBo’s lastest book, “Uninhibited, Robust and Wide-Open: A Free Press for a New Century.” Ridiculously-famous-academic-to-be Sam Schube gives us the low down […]
Foote’s Stand Columbia won a close three-way race with Issac Lara’s ReNew CU and Eugenio Suarez’s Naked Party. Stand Columbia received just over 47% of the vote in the first round of runoff voting, increasing to 52% in the second round.

You’ve tipped us about it for years, and we’ve sort of snickered about it since the dawn of Bwog. So we finally decided to investigate. Why is there a prominently located lactation room in Carman?

It was a bright cold day in April, and the…Print Center signs were making passive-aggressive threats about the future of John Jay patio dining?! Apparently, students have been abusing “silver wear” privileges in the last few days, and this almost-firm directive asks that they kindly stop, lest they lose all they hold dear–namely, the privilege […]
It’s been a while since the last one, but we’ve finally collected ourselves enough to head back to office hours. Liz Naiden got up at 9am to visit the castle keep of medievalist and long-time CC professor Adam Kosto. Read on for the earnest, conscientious prof’s views on weird medieval people, Columbia undergrad culture (THAT’S […]
Coffee and pastries lie deserted outside the Lerner Piano Lounge. Feast your eyes and your stomachs! ADDENDUM: Word on the street says POM (Pomegranate? Peace of Mind? Port of Melbourne?) is handing out samples of a new drink on College Walk. Check it out!
PrezBo bailed on his usual Freedom of Speech class, but worry not: plans are in the works for a “Global Free Press” substitute. (Spec) Will anti-Ivy sentiment influence Obama’s next Supreme Court nomination? Debate! (HuffPo) We might be stressed out, but the Daily Beast thinks we have a bit of fun, too–CU’s number 53 in […]
