Earlier today, a fire alarm shattered the sacred silence of Butler library. As bleary-eyed ref room denizens shuffled out, a fireman’s words reminded us of the harsh reality. Fireman: (to students leaving the library) “It’s a Saturday! Why are you guys in there on a Saturday?” Burned. Safety via Wikimedia Commons

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 5 Comments

A pedantic Columbian couldn’t resist pointing out Il Cibreo’s EGREGIOUS spelling blunder. Yes, someone actually took the time to scrawl this correction on a post-it. We have a sneaking suspicion it’s a Bwog commenter… jk love you guys! We’re just as guilty.

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 1 Comments

Last Night with LateNite, Fall Anthology 2011

By Bwog Staff on Oct 21, 2011 25 Comments

Bwog’s comedy correspondent, and Saturday daily editor Bijan Samareh, got his first taste of Late Nite, late last night. He tells it from a freshperson’s perspective.
