Professor Archetypes: The Tweedster

By Bwog Staff on Dec 15, 2010 8 Comments

With pre-Kerouac horn-rimmed glasses and a penchant for using Yiddish terminology in lecture, the Tweedster is both your favorite professor of all time and your grandfather’s Long Beach High Class of ‘48 classmate. You could fit two of your Wien singles into their southern-facing (northern light is for scholars of Africa, Asia, South America) Fayerweather […]

JSchool to Obama: Don’t Prosecute WikiLeaks

By Bwog Staff on Dec 15, 2010 13 Comments

BwogSalon: The Gadfly

By Bwog Staff on Dec 15, 2010 4 Comments

Bwog has hopped, poked, and swiftly skimmed, but now we’re inviting other writers into the Bwog Bubble. We think there’s lots of fantastic campus journalism out there that sometimes slips under the radar. In the spirit of Enlightenment salons from centuries past, we present our newest feature, BwogSalon. Bwog asked the editors of each publication […]

XMAS! 5! Reviewed!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2010 79 Comments

Bwog’s Holiday Cheer Leader Peter Sterne reports. As the first snowfall (flurries don’t count) of the year descended into Morningside Heights last night, students gathered on the Lerner Ramps and outside Roone, eager to see the latest edition of XMAS!, the VShow-like student-run musical that’s been satirizing the holiday season for the last five years. When the audience was finally […]

Enter the Void: Inside the Northwest Corner Building (accompanied by PrezBo!)

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2010 33 Comments

We pondered its meaning, and delighted in its reflections. This building has been going up for years, but has managed to remain mysteriously shrouded in scaffolding. No longer! A day before the building officially opened on Friday, Bwog had the opportunity to join a group of  journalists on an architectural tour of the building, guided […]

Professor Archetypes: The Marxist

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2010 22 Comments

Bwog got a little misty-eyed when we applauded for our favorite professors yesterday. The end of classes always both feels much too soon and way overdue—in a “shit, I haven’t done anything for this class since the midterm” kind of way.
