Over two years ago, Bwog noted the appearance of a Lactation Room in Carman. It actually appears that there are seven such rooms of requirement scattered around campus, the most recent of which–for the women of SEAS–is the first one yet for an undergraduate school. Are the recesses of Mudd better suited for procreation? Or […]

For our next installment in a series on the best of what Greater Morningside has to offer: bagels (with apologies to those celebrating Yom Kippur).

There’s a “Welcome Back SEAS”-themed ice cream social/study break happening now in Lerner’s ramp lounge. There are various flavors of ice cream, plus the sprinkles and chocolate sauce you were hoping for. And then outside this thing there is a table with Starbucks coffee, in addition to milk and sugar. It’s not free — the […]

That new weird cubical cafe between Journalism and Furnald has opened, and it’s kind of sterile-looking, just like our initial impressions led us to believe! See if you can tell the difference between photos of the new Toni Stabile Student Center and random stills from the Sims. Answers after the jump. A. 

Bwog passed the Carman gates at 114th Street and was happy to find representatives from Seattle eager to bequeath $5 Starbucks Cards as well as Tazo Tea and their replacement for adderall to students harried by midterms.  All you have to do is put your “name” and your “address” onto a postcard that you are […]

On this cold fall night, Bwogger Anish Bramhandkar was lucky enough to make the trek over to East Campus to sit in on the most recent incarnation of President Bollinger’s Fireside Chat.  While the mood was decidely somber in the President’s Mansion because of the state of the economy, it seems that PrezBo was also […]
