Just because finals start tomorrow in earnest doesn’t mean you can’t have fun tonight! At midnight in 209, CUMB hosts Orgo Night. There will be music, shouting, school spirit, and Barnard jokes. Speaking of the ladies across Broadway, tonight is another Midnight Breakfast. There will be barrels of free food. Barnard seniors may start munching […]

In today’s EcoConch, we take you to Barnard! Perhaps you haven’t heard, but a recent streak of flagrant and wanton littering has hit the school hard. To combat this problem, Barnard decided to…spread fliers all over? That’s right, they spread ironically green anti-litter fliers all over the floor. So, EcoReps, we call on you! Tell […]

McAC will be serving up free sno cones on Lehman Walk from 4-6 pm! If it rains, the event will be moved to the Diana. That’s kind of funny, because if it rains then there is no point to sno cones! Fruit punch via Wikimedia Commons

For those of you who (a) didn’t know or (b) were all grumpy-dumpy, today is Barnard Spirit Day! Though events have already gotten underway, there’s still fun to be had. Until 4 pm, perky people will serve free ice cream in the 2nd floor dining room of the Diana. And, tonight from 4:30 to 7 pm, […]

This week, accepted Barnard prospies for the class of 2015 are receiving their letters–and they will have to wait, because Barnard holds to tradition in sending out only paper acceptances. So much admissions hoopla going on! And it was a notable year for Barnard. The college saw a 38% increase in early applications, from 397 […]

The Barnard public safety shuttle is currently out of service. Barnard Public Safety has emphatically assured us that if you call, they will provide public transportation, but declined to say when the shuttle will be back in service. Here’s the email that Barnard Public Safety sent yesterday to their friends: From: <agonzale@barnard.edu> Date: Fri, Mar 25, […]

Check out this amazing poster found at Barnard! Advertising the Barnard Writing Program’s Student Grammar Workshops, it makes a comparison between commas and bras. It’s funny.  

Bwog’s Thesp Crit Joshua Sorenshine caught the last show of the thesis festival last night: This weekend, the Barnard theater department opened its doors for the annual thesis festival, giving audiences a performance that left this reviewer heartily satisfied. Both Alex Brinkman-Young’s, BC ’11 rendition of Tom Stoppard’s Cahoot’s Macbeth and Katie Lupica’s, CC ’11 […]

Last night, the Barnard Student Government Association’s first Town Hall of the semester asked some pretty lofty questions—what does diversity mean? What can diversity mean? What should diversity mean? Bwog’s very own Katheryn Thayer reports back with some answers. Minori Takahashi, the Representative on Diversity, welcomed the program’s participants with a short speech urging us all to embrace our […]

In an email sent to students this afternoon, Chief Operating Officer Greg Brown announced that “Barnard College will be a smoke-free campus effective March 21, 2011, after we return from spring break.” The change, he writes, “is the result of regular requests from various members of the College community to complete a process we started […]

The Athena Film Festival took place at Barnard this weekend, and when Bwog heard that Greta Gerwig, BC ’06, of Greenberg fame, was going to be there, we just had to stop by. Lily Icangelo reports from “A Hollywood Conversation With Greta Gerwig.” Greta Gerwig is a lovely human being and I want her to […]

Happy Holidays! Barnard Housing sent out an email yesterday, just in time for the start of Chanukah, notifying students that not only are they forbidden to light candles in their room, simple possession is also forbidden. Even if you’re just holding them for a friend, it’s against the rules, kids. In its divine wisdom, however, […]

Zoë Camp tells all! Of course, the night’s main point of interest was the revelation of the Greek Life poll results. But last night’s SGA meeting had other notable moments. Big Bossy Lady DSpar stopped by the meeting for about an hour to address a number of questions and to give attendees an update on […]

Live from the SGA meeting– the votes have been counted! 56.9 percent of the student body voted. 768 students voted for the recognition of Greek Life at Barnard and 577 students voted against. Thats 57.1% for and 42.9% against. A difference of 191 students out of the 1345 students who voted. DSpar is at the […]
