Name, school: Ron Gejman, CC Claim to fame: Computer nerd extraordinaire! No, but really, I ran CULPA for the past couple years and revamped it a bit (remember what it used to look like?). I also designed the super-graphic—but ridiculously effective—posters that got put up all over campus during Ahmadinejad week. Where are you going? […]
The West Coast Connection is giving out hearty servings of free guacamole today at 2 on College Walk. Thank you, friends! Update: oops, sorry- make that $1 guacamole with chips.
This Morningside Heights landlord stole $900,000 in rents, possibly from you! (NY Daily News) This Washington Heights barber cut hair, and also killed people. (NY Post) The New School will expand, and people won’t get that upset. (NYT) Maybe not the best time for an art installation with a fake bomb? (Gothamist) 6,700 NYC schoolteachers […]

You know the drill: the semester’s ending, strange things are coming up on our lawns, and your teachers are saying even stranger things. We asked for your professors’ closing remarks, and here are a collection of the most outstanding: Sam Moyn, Historical Origins of Human Rights “Well, it’s been a sheer delight. Have nice lives.” […]
Michael Molina, CC Claim to fame: I’ve been involved with various theater organizations, Fruit Paunch, play banjo and guitar in The Kitchen Cabinet, and was the Bwog commenter known as “anti-rjt.” Where are you going? Living in Nolita where I will be writing my robot screenplay and looking for a job in the entertainment industry. […]
Professor Hamid Dabashi is hosting a review session about Hegel for CC sophomores and anyone else interested in chatting with CC sophomores about Hegel today, from 2-3:30, in Hamilton (room unannounced, look for signs in the lobby). The Facebook event’s wall doth runneth over with other semi-rhyming philosopher/food combinations. Bwog likes “Machiavelli and vermicelli”; “Oreos […]
A happy Cinco de Mayo to you and yours! We hear the Reference Room is craazy right now. Floridita isn’t giving up without a fight.
