Well, first the 1 wasn’t running. From an overcrowded replacement shuttle bus: PA system: Thank you for using the MTA. Old woman: Oh, shut up! (Everyone cheers) And then we had to come to terms with ill-advised decisions. At John Jay Sunday brunch: Distinctly Continental chap, to a lady-friend: “I have been reminded of what […]
What, you ask, could be more fun, more festive, more downright Mediterranean than a casual business lunch at Fancy Campo Fancy Westside Vareli? Well, how about the possibility of a free casual business lunch at Fancy Campo Fancy Westside Vareli?, along with the added adrenal thrill of a game of chance? That’s what you’re getting […]
Our own econ professor, Jagdish Bhagwati, won the Nobel Prize for Economics–on the season premiere of The Simpsons, that is. It’s in the first minute. (Fancast) Because we still care a tiny bit (even if we don’t want to admit it), James Franco says he wasn’t sleeping through class that one time he was sleeping […]
I lost a nikon d60 camera in Ferris Booth. It has priceless vacation photos on it and was last seen in its black carrying case. Offering reward with no questions asked.
Dear Friends, Please join the staff of The Blue & White (pictured at right) for our meeting tonight, Monday night, at 9:00 p. m. in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel. We ‘ll continue planning our next issue and getting updates from writers, for October layout is fast approaching. If you’re interested in working with […]
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 […]
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 […]
Head over to the 2nd floor of the Diana at 5:00 PM for a Potluck dinner, courtesy of Barnard Ecoreps. And this isn’t just a grab and go. The EcoReps will discuss “how we got into such an oily mess in the Gulf, what the ecological impacts really are, and what the spill and clean-up […]
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 […]
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.
Adam Kuerbitz was there! Last night’s CCSC meeting was a whopper, clocking in at just over an hour and a half. President Learned Foote opened the meeting with a discussion of the recent drama surrounding the council elections, particularly among first-year students. He specifically mentioned Grace Bickers’ recent op-ed piece in Spec about the need […]
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 […]
