Thank you, Anthony Pucillo, for exposing the sheer ridiculousness of self-promoting student authors! Unless, of course, you were serious. When Bwog first saw this poster, it rejoiced: the librarians actually care about us! They want us to sleep and sit in the sun and live healthy lives! Actually, they just want us to get our […]

Yelena Shuster has a few notes from author Megan McCafferty’s Wednesday night bookstore visit. The svelte author, clad in a red sundress, began by asking the 99% female audience “You know I don’t have food for you right?” and established her alumna status right off. “Because I know the only way to get people to […]

Overheard in the Carman elevator, a first-year host talking to a prospective student: “We don’t really go into the city that much, but there’s a great bar scene on campus right across the street. And if that’s not for you, there’s great campus life too–in Mudd, there are Halo parties and everyone gets on the […]

Anna Corke reports: There is a gas leak on the 9th floor of Schermerhorn. Art History Department Manager on the phone with Maintenance: Has anyone done anything about the gas leak on the 9th floor? There’s a class happening up there and no one has told them to leave. Some of the students are getting […]

Somebody got to the wet cement.

Barnard’s soul-searching. You scream, I scream, ice cream! Rumble in the Poli Sci department as Ph.D.-reject delivers sweetest diss to Andrew Nathan. Share on, Columbians.

Overshadowed by the more prominent CCSC, ESC, Barnard, GS, and Italian elections, poor little ABC is clamoring for attention. Last night’s elections saw five people competing for four seats. Sucks to be Kylie Davis, but the results are here: President: Keith Hernandez (unopposed) Vice President: Lissy Hu over Kylie Davis Treasurer: Angela Kou (unopposed) Secretary: […]

A breathless James William sez: There is wet cement on 2 squares of sidewalk on 114th street in front of Carman RIGHT NOW!!! Someone go out there and write “BWOG” in the sidewalk RIGHT NOW!!! Yes.

This morning, an anonymous tipster weighed in on the origins of the “cHiNA?” graffiti that can be spotted in every other campus elevator: I thought you should know I have a theory that could possible solve the “CHINA?” elevator riddle. That is, what started it before the ignorant copy cats took over. It’s dorky and […]

Bwog staffer Julia Butareva reviews Ignacy Witkiewicz’s show of contemporary drawings at the Ubu gallery. In the corner of drawings by Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, you find letters and numbers assembled in what looks like an obscure mathematical formula: NP, NTT 7 m. What do they mean? Apparently, they’re abbreviations that indicate the drugs that the […]

“Free blue themed drinks and food” (we hope the food isn’t blue) on Low Steps between 2pm and 4pm but ONLY if you’re wearing blue. Maybe it’s like St. Patrick’s Day and you can just claim your underwear is blue. It is!

You didn’t think he’d remain quiet did you? When apathy overpowers democracy, senators get a big auditorium to themselves. Headline TBD. The trials and tribulations of Genera…wait, phone’s ringing… Bonus: Smoke this.

Thinking it might take a crack at participatory government, Bwog popped its head into the University Senate Town Hall in Lerner Cinema this evening, to find approximately ten students in attendance at a forum of the school-wide body. The sight of two student government leaders leaving as we entered suddenly made sense–not relishing the prospect […]
