This almost graceful array of laptop chargers was spotted in Butler! Look at those beautiful parallel catenaries! What Bwog wonders is how did these intrepid and dedicated students sling their chargers up that way? Like a grappling hook!? Or a lasso? What say you, wanderer? Name that title quote!

Here’s a heads-up for those of you who bought dining plans during Suite Selection, perhaps lured by the promise of “Bonus Dining Dollars.” An intrepid tipster warned us that you need to be wary of these tricky plans. You will get the extra dollars next semester–after a long summer break. But you’ll probably forget about […]

The City’s Pest Control team has suffered some cuts. Mr. Bloomberg says more people are complaining about rats because people are complaining more, not because there are more rats. Hm. (Gothamist) Good news for folks in McBain—NY is working on a way to reduce light and noise from firetrucks on non-life threatening business. (Westport News) […]

Earlier this week, we introduced The Scrounger. This determined moocher is a devotée of Bwog’s free food announcements, and now reports back on CSA’s Cuban cuisine. CSA delivered on their refreshments during walk-in hours. With a hefty catering package from Havana Central, students were greeted with rice, beans, plantains and a choice of three different kinds of empanadas: […]

Earlier this week, Prezbo and DSpar sent emails to all Columbia undergrads about National Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Bollinger writes, “The crime of sexual assault takes many forms and threatens everyone in society, yet it is a problem demanding special attention in university communities.

For this pigeon, it’s a nice ledge in 309 to build a nest and lay eggs on. Mind-bwoggling. And we already asked Public Safety to take care of her, so she and her youngins hopefully won’t get hurt.

It’s the last day of Housing! It’s been a super-long six-day journey and we’ve seen a lot: pairs of seniors gobbling up Woodbridge, Claremonts gone before 10-point groups, and oh yeah, sophomores getting former exclusion suites. We’ve had our share of candy, soda, and Top 40 songs too, and we’d be lying if we were […]
