And The Band Played On…

By Bwog Staff on Dec 17, 2009 38 Comments

Bwog Sousaphone bureau chief Peter Krawzcyk stood on some poor first-year’s desk in 209 to attend this fall’s Orgo Night extravaganza. This may come as a surprise to anyone of the several hundred that packed into a sweaty Butler 209 at midnight last night, but not everyone attended the fall iteration of the Marching Band’s […]

Better Or Worse Than Health Code Violations?

By Bwog Staff on Dec 17, 2009 3 Comments

Mama Mexico appears to have had some trouble with the authorities, as Lecture Hop Editor Emeritus Sara Jane Panfil notes that its 102nd Street location has been seized by “The Man” for non-payment of taxes. The website does seem to indicate the other two locations are still going strong.

Bwoglines: Serious Business

By Bwog Staff on Dec 17, 2009 4 Comments

The MTA has passed a wide range of service cuts, including ending free fares for the more than half a million students who currently receive them. (Times) The laws regulating tap water are so old that many Americans are drinking legal yet unhealthy tap water. Water filter makers everywhere put their fingers together and hissed […]

AskBwog: The Little Fortress

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2009 13 Comments

The abandoned stone structure on 119th and Amsterdam sort of looks like a medieval castle – a very, very small one. It isn’t quite the stuff of architecture classes, but the little building stands out – you’ve probably wondered what it is or was as you passed the forgotten, weedy lot. It’s not like there’s […]

A For Apathy

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2009 74 Comments

Students from a Radical Democracy course are ending the semester with a bang: a truelife protest on Low Steps. This is not, as hypothesized by some, a final project, but rather an independent project dreamed up by a group of “classmates and friends,” as one mini-Mark Rudd put it. One young radical was seeing waving […]

Ready, Set, Evaluate!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2009 7 Comments

You probably haven’t been as excited to evaluate your courses as that automated Courseworks student-pestering system thinks you are. Yes, robot, I must have just forgotten to do my evaluations, thanks for the reminder! But at this point you’ve got to start thinking about it, since the deadline for most class evaluations is tonight (presumably) […]

Columbia students want to help public housing residents just north of us build a garden for communal use that could become a sustainable and nutritious food source as well as a source of community pride.

For Your Self-Reflective Procrastination

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2009 7 Comments

In 15 days the decade will end (and no, we do NOT subscribe to the absurd theory that it actually ends in 2010). The idea can be rather shocking for those of us who passed our teen years entirely within the age they call “the noughties.” To get some perspective, Bwog takes stock of what […]

Bwoglines: Sustaining Losses

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2009 0 Comments

Kids (who don’t live two blocks from class like most of us) could lose the free and discounted Metrocards that get them to school every day. (NY Times) No need to panic over 800,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine lost to a recall. Apparently, it just wasn’t “potent” enough. (ABC News) Empire State Development Corporation (which […]
