Holiday Hop: Sukkot Edition

By Bwog Staff on Sep 27, 2010 23 Comments

Bwog, with all its Jewish grandmotherly wisdom, guided you through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Now grab your etrogs, kids: it’s Sukkot! Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is kind of like the Jewish version of Thanksgiving, but longer… and in huts. An eight-day-long harvest festival, this holiday recalls the 40 years when Moses and the […]

Prof Playlist: Country Gets Foxy

By Bwog Staff on Sep 27, 2010 13 Comments

Last year, Bwog jammed with the JJ’s Place guys, shaked to Shakira with Dean Peña-Mora, and sang a Sesame song with Dean Denburg. We know how those crazy cats in Dodge Hall like to party, so we asked Music Department Chair and Ethnomusicology Professor, Aaron Fox, what’s in heavy rotation on his Ipod. Below are […]

Koronet’s Ups Prices, Kills Dreams

By Bwog Staff on Sep 27, 2010 24 Comments

At 1:33 AM yesterday morning, a tipster sent Bwog an urgent message: “THIS WILL NOT STBAD.” Koronet’s super-sized pizza, in all its greasy goodness, now costs $3.75. This 25 cent price hike follows a steady quarter-a-year trend. It’s unnerving, because when you’re schwasted, you’ll throw down anything just for chow. Only the next morning will […]

Bat=Batenawi. It’s Official.

By Bwog Staff on Sep 27, 2010 5 Comments

Let it be decreed, our friendly Morningside Heights bat is named Batenawi, after Columbia’s latest controversial WLF guest, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. In the past year, we’ve had sightings of raccoons, coyotes, squirrels and one very special hawk. Columbia is a jungle. Grab your safari hats, kids.

Free Quarters in Hartley! Kind Of

By Bwog Staff on Sep 27, 2010 4 Comments

Something terrible happened yesterday. On the way to do laundry, Bwog stopped at a vending machine, and put in a dollar bill, then pressed the change button. We waited for the clang of our four quarters, but it never came. The machine had eaten Bwog’s (parents’) hard-earned money! After an angry march to Hartley, Bwog went to […]

Ivo Josipović Sings Praise of His Croatia

By Bwog Staff on Sep 26, 2010 4 Comments

“Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi.” What’s allowed to Jupiter, isn’t allowed to cattle. With this little Latin line, the recently elected Croatian President Ivo Josipović began his first speech before a Columbia audience — an address given the ominous title of “Transitional Justice — Croatian and International Responses to War Crimes.” Bwog’s Roko Rumora, […]
