By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 19 Comments

All across campus people rejoice at the receipt of emails from sullen professors. Essays are pushed back and classes are cancelled. A dastardly few, however, plan to force students to attend “online seminars” through Courseworks or some such wizardry.

ShakeShorts ShortShakes Review

By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 10 Comments

Many modern adaptations of Shakespeare plays have come and gone. Some, such as Romeo + Juliet (starring Leonardo DiCaprio), have left their mark. King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe (KCST) hoped to achieve such glory, at least within Columbia, when they presented their ShakeShorts ShortShakes on October 25-27.

By Bwog Staff on Oct 28, 2012 0 Comments

Bwog’s very own Culinary Contrarian takes on Crack Del’s ominously vague “All Other Salad,” and discovers that—as everything else in life—it all leads back to the infamous Spicy Special. When you look at Crack Del’s menu online, you notice a number of things. Firstly, that there are sandwiches other than the Spicy Special, and secondly, […]

By Bwog Staff on Oct 28, 2012 29 Comments

Now is the time to remain in a state of calm panic! Monday classes are cancelled!
