Bwoglines: These Sketchy Times

By Bwog Staff on Apr 01, 2010 0 Comments

Bulgarian politicians prefer to spend their time milking virtual cows. (Huffington Post) Hawkers will sell you anything these days, including dental appointments. (Gothamist) Careful with that joint. It could get you deported. (NYT) Volunteers go above and beyond for the Great American Census – not surprising as it may one day be worth a fortune. […]

“Pray for me. No. Seriously.”

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 14 Comments

Yesterday, Bwog’s Housing Inquisitor, David Hu, collected the reactions of those lucky souls owning the best housing lottery numbers. Today, he’s back with the not-so-lucky. Bwog: How did you feel when you found out? Loser Less Fortunate Columbian 1: It was actually funny. I just sat there chuckling at myself asking how that number was […]

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 6 Comments

Two rather different entries in the free food log tonight: First, the Columbia University International Relations Forum will be serving a free Indian buffet in advance of a screening of The Sky Below, an award-winning documentary on Pakistan and India. Singh will be in attendance, and a conversation will follow the screening. That’s all happening […]

LectureHop: Democrats, Republicans, and the Citizens United

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 6 Comments

The Columbia Political Union hosted another in its series of debates between the Columbia Democrats and Republicans. Senior Junior Political Correspondent Derek Huang was there. Ah, debate: an experience normally associated with eager high-schoolers who take themselves too seriously. Last night’s debate, though, involved a different type of hyper-argumentative youth. Last night’s debate between the […]

Our Very Own Food Truck?

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 4 Comments

Food trucks have been all the rage for some time now, and they’ve begun to creep into Morningside Heights. We’ve had the Dessert Truck. We’ve still got the Wafels & Dinges truck. But how about something a bit less sweet, and a bit more personal? How about a student-run truck devoted to serving Columbia and […]

Some Things About Food and Drink

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 5 Comments

First, overheard (overtexted?) from a Concerned Citizen: Sorry about our housing number dude. But at least someone filled 100 large Snapple bottles with water and put them in the McBain elevator. At least, indeed! Our tipster included this picture: Also, Bwogger Claire Sabel reports that Brownies Cafe in Avery is giving away free matzoh, along […]

Financial Aid Update: Things Are Looking Up

By Bwog Staff on Mar 31, 2010 12 Comments

While much of the hubbub in Washington in recent days has centered on the passage of the healthcare bill, students have yet another reason to celebrate: the passage of a bill set to thoroughly reform the student loan system. The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act will, in effect, remove the middleman from the student loan […]

English professor/Shakespeare godhead James Shapiro has a new book coming out, and he’s looking to shake up the authorship debate. (The Chronicle of Higher Education) Sarko’s appearance Monday wouldn’t have been complete without his famous personal lectern, designed to make the height-conscious president appear a few inches taller.
