Aw shucks, there’s new scaffolding between Broadway and Riverside. But Bwog’s feeling good today. Sure, scaffolding is unattractive, but if it were painted orange and had cascading sheets, we could have a world famous art installation right here in Morningside. So as you descend 115th St., just imagine you’re walking under glorious silver arches.

BSchool first-years got an email over the weekend instructing them to brush their  teeth. Apparently, BSchoolers have “not followed personal hygiene basics” during recruiting events.

Eliza Shapiro took a break from being Bwog Editor to listen to the Columbia College Student Council talk about what “a la carte” means for, like, a while.

Generation Organic, a touring group of organic farmers, has parked their “veggie oil-sipping” bus on College Walk. EcoReps, NOM^3, and Greenborough join them to promote sustainable development.

(NYTimes) Way back when on October 18th, the United […]

THE WEATHER! Special thanks to Franz Kogler, Chowdah, and CTV.

Bwog is meeting at 7 p.m. in the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner Hall tonight. If the result would be a goodness-maximizing outcome for you and/or the whole of humanity, Mr. Mill would likely have you come. Also come if you like snacks. Photo via Wikimedia Commons
