Stop by the Lerner ramps this afternoon from 1 to 3 pm for Occupy CU’s champagne study break. It’s all part of a new strategy, Bwog was told, to broaden membership and boost participation by making Occupy events as similar to I-banking recruitment dinners as possible. “Whatever works, amiright?” theorized an organizer in a tip […]

A torn miniscus sidelines Jeremy Lin for the rest of the season, but the puns will never die. (Gothamist) One college in California is charging more for […]

What appeared to be an innocuous CCSC missive from Student Body President Aki Terasaki turned out to contain a bombshell.”It is with mixed emotions,” he writes, “that I formally announce my resignation as CCSC President, effective immediately.” While the message did not contain an explicit reason for the surprise move, he mentions the “difficult experience,” […]

A tipster dispels the myth of no fun in Furnald with this joyful schoolyard memory. But is this truly an innocent playground game–or is it a staging ground for the next Drinking with Bwog?  

Bwog’s resident Particle Pontificator again rounds up all the top science stories for the week and breaks them down for the rest of us. Fortunately for those who prefer to not be spontaniously annihilated, the universe is overwhelmingly made out of matter and virtually no antimatter. But why? An international collaboration of physicists have used powerful supercomputers to calculate the decay process of a kaon […]

If you’re wondering why you woke up today to Beyonce and LMFAO, it’s ’cause CCO was getting ready to fix New York City. They’re at it now!

A pizza price war has pushed the cost of a slice along Avenue of the Americas in Midtown down to seventy-five cents. Who’s responsible for this madness? (NYT) Philosopher Helen Nissenbaum of NYU is helping to reshape privacy policy so it fits in with our comfortable norms, but others claim that the paradigm is already […]

Big Gigantic will be headlining, with Wavves and Curren$y as the opening acts. Spicy Special will be the student group opener.

Their plan, which they’ve called NYU2031 in […]
