On the Future of Study Day(s)

By Bwog Staff on Dec 10, 2009 18 Comments

We’ve been hoping to see an agreeable resolution since it was discovered that we’d only have one study day this semester. Thanks to student government intervention, we now have two days, but many students still have to leave just two days before Christmas, a time of higher fares and overbooked flights. Columbia has traditionally started […]

Guess What? The Meal Plan Isn’t All That Popular

By Bwog Staff on Dec 10, 2009 23 Comments

As you may have heard, Barnard officially announced required meal plans for all students starting next semester year. Initial support for the measure seemed low, so we went on a hunt to find students who were excited about it. We searched high and low, but found not one student willing to praise the plan. What […]

Eyepoke: Reverting to Lists

By Bwog Staff on Dec 10, 2009 5 Comments

Manhattanville is (temporarily?) on hold. The primary players have a lot to say. The Eye interviews Miranda Elliot of GendeRevolution. The Bwog does not watch American Idol. Or Housewives. Only The West Wing DVDs and Masterpiece Theatre.

By Bwog Staff on Dec 09, 2009 80 Comments

What’s that, Barnard students? You were excited about the opening of the Vag Diana? Looking forward to all the exciting new dining options, such as “a state-of-the-art dining room and Liz’s Place, an expanded and improved-upon replacement for Java City.” Well, even if you weren’t giddy with anticipation, you’ll have to spend some money there: […]

LectureHop: America’s Exceptional Literature

By Bwog Staff on Dec 09, 2009 0 Comments

On July 3rd, 1776, the inhabitants of the American colonies were British. The next day, they were American. Their writing, however—what we now call “American literature”—did not appear quite so suddenly. English Professor Ezra Tawil tackled the issue last night in a lecture entitled “American Exceptionalism and the Question of Style,” along with Department bigwigs […]

Fried Failure

By Bwog Staff on Dec 09, 2009 15 Comments

When the story broke, Bwog Taste Testers were on the scene within minutes. James Downie, Sam Schube, and Brian Donahoe report that yes, it is true. M2M’s legendary cheap-and-tasty, best-in-the-neighborhood fries have been replaced by impostors. Gone are the perfect little golden-brown packages of tempura-like flavor, and oh how we will miss their texture and […]
