Summer Bwoglines Don’t Have Themes!

By Bwog Staff on Jun 04, 2010 4 Comments

The UWS’s first protected bike lanes are coming to Columbus Avenue between 96th and 77th Streets. Full Metal Jacket star Michael Modine and NYT‘s Ethicist Randy Cohen are pleased. Infamously unpleasant people doing unpleasant things: Barnard prof Georgette Fleischer is joined by Anna Wintour in a quest to keep New York City quiet. Former Fruit […]

Two Boots Opening Downtown

By Bwog Staff on Jun 03, 2010 14 Comments

There are few things worse than mustering up the courage to spend a Saturday evening downtown, only to be punished by the shockingly slow arrival of the 1 train. As if the shiny new 96th Street station wasn’t enough to placate us (it isn’t!), enter Two Boots! The delicious NY (and Connecticut and LA?) pizza […]

Manhattanville Goes To NY Court of Appeals

By Bwog Staff on Jun 01, 2010 17 Comments

This is kinda-sorta-maybe-it! As you may recall, December brought a major obstacle to Columbia’s dreams of expansion: the New York State Supreme Court decided 3-2 that that state could not use eminent domain to secure parts of West Harlem for Manhattanville. The Empire State Development Corporation, the only major defendant in December’s case, has appealed […]

Today In Plagiarism: 2011 Class Council Steals Joke From Varsity Show

By Bwog Staff on May 28, 2010 45 Comments

Look at how we caught your eye with that headline! Remember that sub-plot in V116 about Dean “Double D” Denburg’s Big Bear/Little Bear initiative? The one where DD matched Barnard first-years and upperclassmen in a binding friendship contract and Jenny couldn’t sneak out and meet Yonatan at 1020? That sucked for both of them, but […]

Bwoglines: Columbia Still Exists In The Summer

By Bwog Staff on May 27, 2010 11 Comments

PrezBo and four other University Presidents ask Congress to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” arguing that the policy is “detrimental to both our students and the nation.” Bill O’Reilly told TC Professor Marc Lamont Hill, who is black, that Hill “kind of looked like” a cocaine dealer “a little bit.” Hill responded that O’Reilly looked […]

Eek! GS Valedictorian Made Someone Else’s Joke

By Bwog Staff on May 25, 2010 143 Comments

Everyone had a good time at GS Class Day. There was a brass band, there was a Korean pop star, and there was a Valedictorian named Brian Corman who made a speech. This was not an unusual thing for a Valedictorian to do, but Mr. Corman did something out of the ordinary: he stole a […]

Falafel Wars: Not A Joke

By Bwog Staff on May 24, 2010 23 Comments

Amir’s has adjusted to the times; it got a makeover over the weekend and became Maoz. There’s a new green sign, the mirrors are green, the walls and ceilings are green, and there are also some yellow-and-white striped booths, but nevermind those. The falafel also got a little cheaper (from $4.75 for a sandwich to […]

Year in Review: 2009-2010

By Bwog Staff on May 23, 2010 21 Comments

Let’s do this. OK, there were controversies: The Study Days Debacle, the Meal Plan Shitshow, the McBain Conflagration ’10, Gender Neutral (Open) Housing, another possible SSN breach, the gross things living in Pinnacle; there were new friends: the Vag, coyotes, Sarkozy, falafel (everywhere!), a new beau for Hawkma; there was an insane snowball fight, a […]

Even Better than “Balloon Boy”

By Bwog Staff on May 20, 2010 26 Comments

Purposeless after finals, Bwog stumbled across video of Joey Goldberg singing the national anthem at this year’s Commencement. It brought a tear to even our most cynical of eyes. Here’s the official University footage of Commencement 2010. Joey starts singing at about 45 seconds in. The university’s official Youtube channel is full of videos from […]

Kitchen Cabinet Goes 2D

By Bwog Staff on May 18, 2010 10 Comments

The second most popular Columbia band to graduate between 2006 and 2010, The Kitchen Cabinet, has made a music video. The lovely and preemptively nostalgia-inducing video for “Dogwood” was filmed by Victor Suarez, CC’11 during a set at an EC townhouse party. The video was based on the excellent “Take-Away Concerts” from Blogotheque, each worth […]
