The Barnard Leadership Initiative becomes the Barnard Leadership Institute, results of this switch remain a little fuzzy
A new month, a new proposal for gender-blind housing
Wait, what grade inflation? That's only in Cambridge, silly Spec!
Broadway and Amsterdam are different avenues, and different people frequent them.
The first of December heralds in finals season, holiday anticipation, and a 1,200-word epic poem by Columbia's favorite Twelve, Stephan. Seriously.

This first issue of The Blue and White was made with Columbia's newest inhabitants in mind.
Dearest overachievers: perhaps the humanities is not the way to go for that A+...
If you came to Columbia in search of fat cats, look no further.
They are at the top of student government and the campus music scene. Take heed future presidents and rock stars.
For the strong and beautiful neighbors across Broadway, a conversation with your new president, maverick economist and baby expert.
Beware of documents named output.xls.
And finally, this is the very best of your prefrosh Facebook encounters.

Bwog yawns itself querulously out of hibernation for the first post of the year 2007. There's this one bothersome blank spot on our SSOL grades report between our C+ in Principles of Economics and our B- in Music Hum. We want it filled.
Call it activist Bwogging, but here's a list of the tardiest professors culled from the bwgossip alias and beyond, for all the world to see.
David Rothman, Medicine and Western Civilization
Jill Shapiro, Human Species: Our Place in Nature
Thomas Bernstein, Chinese Politics
Jeremy Waldron, Terrorism and Civil Liberties (Spring 2006. Yes.)
Greg Smithsimon, Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration in Urban America
Sonia Pereira, Barnard Economics Professor
James Trask, Urban Studies Junior Colloquium
Michael Seidel, Joyce
Elizabeth Irwin, Thucydides
Carol Rovane, Methods and Problems of Philosophical Thought
Eric Foner, US in the Era of Civil War and Reconstruction
Micheal Shaevitz, Physics 1200
Deborah Mowshowitz, Intro to Molecular Biology
...and one tipster tells us all of the TAs from Physics Lab are tardy...
Get on it, folks! Those grad school and internship apps can't wait!
Keep us updated -- let us know which of your profs belongs on the Wall of Shame, and which should be crossed off as grades trickle in.
ADDENDUM: Bwog has been informed that the phone grade system will, allegedly, have grades available earlier than those posted on SSOL. For those willing to endure touchtone agony (and the awkwardness of hearing your grade robotically read aloud), the number to call is x4-7373. The daring can put this on speakerphone and invite their friends over for a good drinking game...

"No, I was like, 'you don't understand the difference between a B-
and a C+. If you give me a B-, my life is NOT over."

Praying with Lior an engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe." Lior has Down syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a "spiritual genius" as many around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains everyone's unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior - whose name means "my light" - lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony different characters provides a window into life spent "praying with Lior."
Directed by Ilana Trachtman│Documentary│87-minutes
