Columbia journalism and sociology professor Todd Gitlin knows activism. Once president of Students for a Democratic Society, there’s not much he hasn’t seen, and although now he writes from comfortable digs in the Journalism School, Gitlin has some words of wisdom for those still taking it to the streets. After an hour of stories from […]

Bwog recieved notice recently that a sharp eyed poster pincher has uncovered the identity of the scoundrel who plastered the Muslim Student Association’s office yesterday afternoon with inflammatory press releases announcing the appearance by ex-PLO terrorist-turned-Christian Walid Shoebat that evening. Here’s how it happened: the original of the flyer was found in Schapiro by an […]

In which Bwog gives you a digest of the crazy crazy fallout of the events of October 4th. Item # 1: Columbia students recieved PrezBo’s latest statement on the Minutemen protest earlier today.

Bwog caught up with Khan in the hours following the Minuteman Brawl, racing to scribble down his informed […]

This evening, after a 45-minute long diatribe by a preachy opening speaker, a large group of students rushed Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, in what descended into a free-for-all on the stage. Scroll below for the blow-by-blow and photos. 3:45 PM: Releases by the University and by the College Republicans appended below. 3:21 AM: Those […]

While campus liberals gear up for an appearance by the founder of the anti-immigrant Minutemen, they might want to know what else College Republicans President Chris Kulawik has up his sleeve: family values Senator Rick Santorum, scheduled to visit at the end of October. Sources inside the Student Governing Board say that the Republicans blew […]

If only they had a Slip n’ Slide… The College Republicans held a global warming beach party on the lawn to the east of the steps today to protest the recent screenings on campus of the Al Gore film “An Inconvenient Truth”. In an email, Chris Kulawik described the mission of the party: While global […]
