The rumors are true: P&W Sandwich Shop, Bwog’s favorite lunchtime haunt, is closing. Shocked and appalled by what we hoped was a cruel finals prank (remember Hawkma?), Bwog called over only to receive confirmation of the tragic tip. P&W is owned by the same family who operates Hungarian, next door. Due to “lease termination,” P&W’s last day will be […]

It’s finals! You’re hungry. Like, prehistoric hungry. Not sure what that means? Find out at the last Live at Lerner of the semester from 12 to 2 pm in Lerner Piano Lounge. They’ve tricked the place out with—we kid you not—a mashed potato bar. You’ll be able to caveman carbo-load to your heart’s content, without facing […]

Update: The anonymous artist is Kyle Hom, SEAS ’14. Snaps, Kyle! A rather crafty tipster submitted this piece of lovely Photoshop GIMP art today. It’s just the latest in a range of t-shirts, mugs, and cufflinks (we don’t get it either) inspired by a British Ministry of Information poster from the Second World War. Originally […]

Adam Klein—the last of the students arrested in Operation Ivy League to begin pretrial proceedings—was denied diversion to treatment in a Manhattan courtroom today, reports Bloomberg.
