Night March starts at 8pm, Barnard gates. Speakout starts at 10pm, LeFrak Gym. We’ll see you at the march. Expect pictures later tonight!

By now, she’s more a symbol of BC than DSpar herself…or the Vag, for that matter. Barnard, meet your new Chair of the Board, Jolyne Caruso-FitzGerald (phew!), BC’81. Email from DSpar follows: Dear Members of the Barnard Community, This afternoon the Barnard College Board of Trustees elected Jolyne Caruso-FitzGerald ’81 as the incoming Chair of […]

Large Hadron Collider turned on, and actually working. (BBC) Barnard faculty reduce course load. (Spec) Nearly half of all the security cameras installed in the subway don’t work. (NYT) Performance artist at MoMA is challenged to become part of another’s conceptual piece. (Gothamist)

Nothing connects people like music, so we continue to humanize the administrators of our great University with the latest addition to our rave-reviewed series of celebrity playlists. This week, we feature Dorothy Denburg, Dean of Barnard College and the person who makes decisions about meal plans and such. Bwog can’t personally remember the last time […]

In an email just sent out to students, Dean Dorothy Denburg and BC Chief Operating Officer Gregory Brown laid out Barnard’s meal plan for the 2010-2011 school year. Most importantly, all students living on the Quad will have to “partake [in] a new plan at a lower cost and with fewer meals than had been […]

For those seeking to escape the pain and suffering of the Columbia Housing lottery, or those who were unable to get into the LLC or Special Interest Housing, there is an alternative – Barnard. Bwog’s very own Sean Zimmermann writes on his experience (figuratively) across Broadway. There’s a lot of chatter about how exactly a […]

Mark Hay is a boy. Here’s his dispatch from DSpar’s Fireside Chat. Last night in Barnard Hall’s Sulzberger Parlor, Barnard President Debora Spar gathered with some odd twenty-five students to rehash a topic that has figured prominently in her thoughts and actions over the past year – how do Barnard girls engage with life in […]

Breaking news from the Diana Event Oval! Meryl Streep has just been announced as Barnard’s Class Day Speaker. Bwog is hoping she’ll deliver the speech in a medley of her most famous characters– a Miranda Priestly drawl, a Julia Child shrill, whoever she played in 2006’s under-the-radar film “The Ant Bully”. Make way for Meryl, […]

Bwog has received many tips of a fire (a real one, not like those ones that wake you up at 2 a.m.) in 616, on 116th and Riverside.  The building has been evacuated and firefighters are “smashing” windows. Eegad! Tipster Samantha Child reports: “Fire fighters are throwing all of her belongings out the window, including […]

After last Friday’s showdown in the Vag’s Ovum Oval, the Barnard Administration has come up with a Plan to solve all Plans – one that is unlikely to deteriorate into another chaotic war over microphones. The admins have turned to bureaucracy’s all time favorite problem-solving strategy: it’s time to form a committee! The Meal Plan […]

If you wandered past Barnard’s new Events Oval last night, the first thing you might have noticed at the Meal Plan Forum, even before the presence of the forty or so mostly angry attendees, would have been the two tables of catered food. Ironic, yes, but it did placate the hordes of meal plan-protesters, at […]

RoomHop all the way to the Quad with Hannah Goldstein and check out the floral side of Barnard. If you’d like to see a crib get Hopped, contact us at tips@bwog.net with a picture. Walking down the eighth floor of Sulzberger Hall in the Barnard Quad, you might get the passing notion that something is […]

The weather in Morningside Heights over the past couple of days may not have been particularly cooperative, but neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night could keep these Columbians from stepping out in their winter best. This week, Bwog began to prowl College Walk and various Columbia/Barnard haunts (i.e., cafeterias) in the […]

A couple of months ago, Dean Dorothy Denburg proudly announced that Barnard was to open a new café. “Liz’s Place,” as this café called itself, was to be a “wonderful resource” and “an expanded and improved-upon replacement for Java City” – presumably so flowing with mouth-watering snacktime treats that all mandatory meal-plan haters (read: everyone […]

Bwog’s Official Consolation Prizes Correspondent Juli Weiner reports from the Barnard Mail Center. Apparently, a suitable solution to the lack of ATMs on campus are these ATM decals printed to walls. The posters even display how to swipe–with two arrows– an imaginary credit card.
