ESC: Cafe 212 Imposes Limits, Bureaucracy Comes to Student Groups

saladBwog’s Sean Zimmerman reports from ESC’s first meeting.

“We’re pretty sexy, so I’d like to spread that sexiness around.” Varun Gulati’s personal goal for ESC was one of many discussed at the first Engineering Student Council meeting, in which council members congregated in Lerner Cinema to discuss the coming year.  A new year brings new concerns, so never fear: Senator Rajat Roy clarified that “NROTC will not be an issue this year.”

Council members got personal while discussing dining changes; in reference to Cafe 212′s new policy that students can no longer build custom salads, Rajat bemoaned that he “wants the ability to customize [his] salad.”  Council members suspected that Dining Services’ trademark thrift came into play — perhaps some students would often fill their salads with expensive items and pay the same price as students who ordered more basic salads.

Mind Games for the Tired Brain

Okay, so you have been in Butler for three days straight, living off Cup Noodle and the occasional funny YouTube videos that your bored friends have been sending you. But the pseudo-soup, dramatic prairie dog and ‘I’m on a Boat‘ are just not cutting it anymore. What is a poor finals studier to do? Bwog Slowly-Going-Insane Expert David Berke has some suggestions.

The answer is to learn the golden lesson of extreme boredom  from DMV employees: when the going gets tough, fuck with people. Spice up your soulless hours of study with these mind games…none of which we endorse or take responsibility for.

The Larry Craig 2.0: While you’re in a bathroom stall and a neighboring stall is occupied, slide your foot under the divider a little bit. Then slip a piece of paper under the divider that says, ‘That means I want to have sex with you.’

Ipod Madness, Option One: You know those Butler-ites who play their Ipods so loud that you can hear the song lyrics across the room [ed. note: sorry]. Play this song at their volume and see how people react. (more…)

Free Lentils Right Now! Thank Heaven!


Get yourself to Lerner piano lounge on the double for free hot dogs, cupcakes, baked beans, buns, and lentils, before they disappear. Yeah, you were cheated out of your 40s. Here’s your chance to make up for it, with the bonus pleasure of looking at some fancy student artwork hanging the walls. And the overall nutritional value should be about the same.

If free food revolts your finer capitalist sentiments, Lerner offers another item of intrigue: Ferris Booth’s all-new Columbia Cobb Chicken Salad, which boasts grilled chicken breast, blue cheese crumbles, cranberries, smoky turkey bacon, and fat-free ranch dressing. The Ferris twist on the Cobb salad might be missing a few traditional ingredients, but are you going to complain? Your alternative is baked beans.
