Tricked yourself into caring about work enough to goto Butler, but now you’re just watching Youtube anyway? Sweet; same here. Below are a few tidbits to help […]

Forget career fairs—TMNT is recruiting on campus. Everybody’s going green nowadays, so why not join in the fun? This sign spotted near the flagpole at the top of the steps tells you to “inquire within,” but provide a ColumbiaTMNT@gmail.com email address for the less reptilian folk out there. Their disclaimer reads: If you lack the […]

In this week’s Cooking with Bwog, our fearless chef Matt Powell has an existential crisis and begins a series on the basics of cooking for the epicurious collegiate. It’s a lengthy one, but packed with useful information. This week, I started working on “Cooking with Bwog” when suddenly, I came to the realization that the […]

In Hidden Talents, Bwog gushes over your classmates’ dexterity like a proud mom. In this installment, we join Freshman Fish Correspondant Sam Schipani as she learns about her floormate’s eccentric extracurriculars, and makes a handful of aquatic puns along the way. Know someone who has 900 toes and can use each one to perform a different task […]

Last week, Bwog sat down with newly-minted Dean Valentini (soon to be Deantini). The Dean has been in touch with Bwog and Spec since his appointment, but in earlier interviews was unable to answer burning questions (he too needed some orientation). What was Dean Moody-Adams so livid about? Given that her resignation letter focused on […]

Bwog has just received a flurry of tips reporting unsettling activities around NoCo. Public Safety declined to comment, but the situation appears to be resolved. Helicopters were spotted above the north side of campus, and NoCo was evacuated, apparently due to a fire that broke out where construction was going on. Joe was also temporarily […]

Today’s the last day to add a class so hurry up and sign up for that Oceanography/Karate/Underwater Basketweaving class before it’s too late!  

Update: The Package Center is open again, but the line is reportedly “ridiculously long,” and you still need your rack number. For those of you without smart phones, this means planning ahead (!). According to a tipster, Lerner’s package database is down. Although earlier today that only meant you’d need your package’s rack number listed […]

Time’s a tickin, folks. Applications for Bwog Daily Editor are due at midnight tonight!

Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary on DIY […]

You’ll have to wait till January 13th to find out why anyone would choose Lerner as a pickup point for a sketchy package, but until then you can watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt run up the ramps and be threatened by a dirty cop by College Walk. The trailer for Premium Rush is out!

And the celebrity spottings continue. Multiple tipsters saw Rob Lowe, better known to West Wing fans as Sam Seaborn, roaming around campus yesterday. He was apparently “followed by a really handsome and well dressed teenage boy, with an equally impressive jawline.” Another tipster managed to snap a picture from behind. Rob’s in the pale blue […]
