By Bwog Staff on Sep 23, 2009 10 Comments

A Bwog tipster spotted this brigade of Public Safety officers leading a handcuffed individual out of Low a little after noon.

By Bwog Staff on Sep 23, 2009 2 Comments

The motorcade hanging around college walk, the red carpet paparazzi frenzy outside Low – those sly dogs at the World Leaders Forum must have booked another celeb. Bwog contributor Kate Hughes snuck past the cameras last night to hear what Serbian President Boris Tadic had to say. Serbia and Columbia go way, way back. Turns […]

A Double Dose of Photo Weirdness

By Bwog Staff on Sep 22, 2009 11 Comments

The next time you forget your ID and get turned away from Butler, remember: when Argentine President Cristina Kirchner came to visit, campus security apparently refused to let her NYPD escort enter Low. The officer, probably grateful to escape, instead took the opportunity to snap a picture of the steps. More common, but also more […]

LectureHop: Argentina and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Economy

By Bwog Staff on Sep 22, 2009 2 Comments

Photo by Anish Bramhandkar For all the statistics about Argentine economic achievement mentioned last evening, one might be surprised to learn that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the current president of Argentina, is languishing in the polls.

This update from NYU Local suggests that James Franco may not return to 209 for awhile — he’s too busy taking classes on topics like “You Don’t Know Dick: The Courageous Hearts of Transsexual Men.” That’s right: Franco is ostensibly down at Tisch taking Queer Cinema 101, just hoping and praying that Milk gets on […]

Bwog’s own Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s meeting. In the grand tradition of last year’s CCSC presidential election, this year’s Freshman ESC election is one of the most uncompetitive in recent memory.
