While Mother Nature’s doing her darnedest to usher in the start of winter, ESC wants us to know that it is in fact still fall. They’re throwing an apple-themed study break at 4:00pm in Lerner 569–head on over for everyone’s favorite fall fruit in candied, pie, cider, or just-off-the-tree form. They’re encouraging attendees to follow […]

After almost forty-eight hours of capital-d Drama, the Spectator‘s website is back up. No noticeable changes, and both sides are still not commenting for legal reasons. Oh, and hi Gothamist! UPDATE (11:30 PM): Spec‘s editors have published an “Editor’s Note”: The Columbia Daily Spectator Web site was down from Friday, October 16th until Sunday, October […]

By Bwog Staff on Oct 18, 2009 13 Comments

Yesterday’s Columbia-Penn Homecoming game wasn’t exactly pretty: the teams combined for eight fumbles and six interceptions in the visitors’ 27-13 victory. Quarterback M.A. Olawale showed flashes of brilliance—completing 14 of 26 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns (one each to receiver Austin Knowlin and tight end Andrew Kennedy)—but was responsible for six turnovers of […]

The computer strikes again; the English Department sponsored conference “The History of Reading and Reading Processes” examines how word processing has changed the way that authors write and the way that scholars and fans obsess.

Netflix: Hope? Hope!

By Bwog Staff on Oct 17, 2009 6 Comments

Yes, Mark Hay can! This week the Senate Finance committee pushed out a neutered healthcare bill. And then thirty senators voted against a bill to block government contracts with companies that do not allow their employees to sue when raped by fellow employees. I guess last November’s hope water is wearing off, because it’s just […]

No, It’s Not Another Redesign

By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 45 Comments

Visitors to the Spec‘s website might find the front page looking a little lacking in content. Rather than the first step in a makeover, tipsters tell us that there’s “some serious internal – and possibly legal – drama going down.” Spec editor-in-chief Melissa Repko declined comment on advice of lawyers, and online editor Ryan […]
