Today fro 5-7 pm in the “main lounge” (we’re not sure either) of Lerner, there will be free apps provided by Lerner Operations–“and not the kind you download,” proving they’re hip with the kids. With any luck, these treats will include buffchick wings, mozz stix, and tons of fruits&veggies. No word on the presence of […]

Bwoglines: Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a giant dollhouse? Neither have we but too bad. (Yahoo) Finals Tip: Practice self control.

This semester’s Orgo Night was slightly less, ah, hyped than the last, but was still a great respite from the tension on campus throughout this week. Freshman daily editor Zachary Hendrickson tried to get a comprehensive grasp on the tradition. I think it’s important to start by saying that I have close friends in the […]
In our continuing coverage of the rooms you’re reading this in, we bring you that room up on the fourth floor of Butler, the George and Jesse Siegel Reading Room. Ah, the fourth floor of Butler: just high enough that you’ll sweat if you take the stairs and you’ll feel slightly guilty if you take […]
Ivan Lupic, who will be receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia this semester before blasting off to be a real professor at Stanford, has largely been identified as the Lit Hum instructor who passed out the pages for the ID passages.
