First came the lice. They invaded the heads (and sheets, and clothes, and pillows) of the girls of the Barnard Quad back in October. Next up on the nuisance continuum: “racist” graffiti.  It’s barely eight hours into the first day of the semester, and controversy has already erupted in the form of graffiti scribbled on […]

Barnard Facilities is going to be sanitizing and scraping the interior of the water tanks that supply many of BC’s dorms and buildings with water. While Bwog still can’t quite get past a few burning questions (Was the water unsanitary before? Scraping what off the tank? GUNK?) the real news is that Barnard isn’t going […]

If you go to Barnard and you have an RA, you’re eligible for a $50 iTunes gift certificate by filling out this survey. Hurry though, as the deadline is tomorrow.  Besides, there are only so many times you can listen to Judith Shapiro and the Don’t Quit Your Day Job Duet.

Barnard Fire Safety bribes students to sit through a fire safety video with an iPod nano drawing. If Barnard girls can’t put scarves on lamps for mood lighting or light candles, how will they ever find boyfriends? More importantly, what genius heats up a pizza in the oven while it’s still in the cardboard box?

What would you name the Nexus?  

Seven-hundred and eight feet of sub sandwiches, to get consumed at Barnard at 7:00 pm!  Tables of sandwiches are just beginning to wrap from the edge of Lehman library to Sulz Hall. Bwog was told it’s some kind of annual tradition?

Lucky Barnard girls have it all- apple-picking and shopping! Life is so unfair sometimes. On Friday October 5th, for only $5, Barnard girls will be shipped off to upstate New York to pick apples for an hour and a half, then go shopping at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets Funny, the bus leaves at 9 am […]

Look who else is getting a re-design!             Or rather, excuse me, a website. Not a re-design. Just an initial website. Because they never had one before (this didn’t really count). Because it’s 1999. Oh, no, no. That’s not right either, is it? Hm.

After Barnard’s Convocation, the OLs and RAs of BC led the 11s in a sing-a-long tribute to the musical stylings of Rihanna: “When the sun shines we’ll shine together We will love Barnard forever Columbia will always be our friend Our partnership will go on till the end 2011 is better than ever All the […]

Student Services Vice President Lisa Hogarty just let you know in an e-mail that we’ll all be getting nifty new ID cards come fall (that Rita Hollander is one impressive woman). Two bits that matter.  One: the cards will NOT use our social security numbers. Bwog hopes this means that neighborhood flex points a la […]

Here comes the revolution: members of the Annapolis Group, a loose consortium of liberal arts colleges, have finally decided to bolt from U.S. News and World Report’s embattled college rankings, and are promising to come up with a system of their own. Among them is outgoing Barnard President Judith Shapiro, who laid out her opposition […]

For most, summer is a season for skimpy bikinis and cold Coronas, or whatever those zany teenagers do these days. Along with such activities, Bwog staffers Lucy Tang and Daniel D’Addario will while away these months of freedom in (partial) devotion to literary pursuits, and then discussing these books in a nifty little feature called “Joy Luck […]

Bwog is regretting having left its camera at home, because there’s quite a spectacle in front of Lehman Library: DJ Tanner, in all his glory, rapping for a small audience of Barnardites and friends as they nosh on a picnic banquet. We think their set’s finished, but more music is lined up, and you shouldn’t […]

PREZSHAP TO RESIGN OMG!!! (now, what font size do they use for assassinations or declarations of war?) Broadway Simba to get V-Show award: what does JTT think? “Who would have thought that inside the Zen essence of bamboo lay the potential to help a poverty-stricken continent create bicycles?” A $250 meal =”Brad Pitt,” “the new […]

Actress to speak at Barnard commencement, nobody goes apeshit Barnard accepts 28% of applicants, nobody goes apeshit  “you don’t need a contested class council election to get a good turnout”  Athletes react to being told they shouldn’t be here (their reaction is that they disagree) Religion: not for show || Jesus eating matzah Staff Editorial: […]
