The ever-glorious Reference Room turned off its overhead lighting yesterday, leaving only desk lamps to sustain the loyal inhabitants. How or why the lights went out remains unclear, but the asian gloves-wearing circulation desk guy popped in and fixed it around 10 pm. The lights humorously went out again about an hour later, and they […]
Columbia’s new Center for Urban Real Estate suggests building a giant landbridge from Manhattan to Governors Island. It might be called LoLo, or Lower Lower Manhattan. (NY Times) A new NASA rover, Curiosity, was successfully launched into space yesterday, and is on its way to Mars. Curiosity will land on the Red Planet in August of […]
Bringing you the lastest in Morningside minutia: the Lerner stairs between floors two and three are broken. This is really important for everybody who checks their mailbox, and/or takes the stairs. Between “slight inconvenience” and “annoyance”
Hot dog! The puppies are here. Well, not exactly right here, but a short stroll away. Head over to Broadway and 104th to visit the Animal Haven adoption van. The cuddling opportunity lasts until 3pm. In an ideal world, the puppy truck would return to College Walk during finals. Let this be our official plea.
Bwog was floored by your pumpkin carving prowess, and we’d love to show off your culinary masterpieces. So we’re kind of blatantly ripping off the New York Times Thanksgiving Table feature, and soliciting photos of your feasts to compile in a heartwarming drool-worthy Bwog food porn gallery. Send us pics of artfully carved turkeys, sweet […]
As per tradition, we put our heads (see: gmail accounts) together and compiled this long list of the things/people/places/things/snow penises for which we are most thankful. Contest, corroborate, or add your own in the comments. It’s that time of the year where we’re allowed to get a little corny (<– Thanksgiving pun), so on that note, […]
Public Safety: they always seem to be there to shut down improv shows and boot you off the lawns, but never when you’re walking home bleary-eyed from Butler at 3am. As if you didn’t already have to reassure your parents of your safety in the big bad city, now you can go home for Thanksgiving […]
You may be getting ready to forsake Butler and head home for break, but there are a few individuals who would never dream of abandoning its marble walls and fancy woodwork: the Butler Archetypes. Lend your ear (eyes?) to Aurally Annoyed Bijan Samareh as he profiles those study buddies who stick out like a giant snow […]
Diana Correspondent Renée Kraiem brings the latest from the SGA. DSpar stopped by SGA this week to give thanks and get thoughts from Rep Council about the College’s forthcoming capital campaign, its Global Symposia and its new Constellations program. Each conversation built upon the central topics of SGA discussions this semester: communication and cash, and what […]
Dean Peter Awn sent out this email to all GS students earlier today, subject line: “Meleagris Gallopavo.” (That’s the Wild Turkey, to you plebs) If this (or this) doesn’t get you in the mood for Thanksgiving, we don’t know what will. Dear Students, They cluck, they flail, they fold their necks back to catch the […]
Thanksgiving is almost here! For many returning home, it means seeing extended family, stuffing themselves with food, and football. For others, it involves breaking up with their significant other and/or Black Friday shopping. But, if you’re still stuck on campus for the next four days, fear not. Your friends (and Dining) may have abandoned you, […]
Procrastinator? No problem. Join Matt Powell, Bwog’s resident chef, for a last minute lesson in Thanksgiving entrées. Tomorrow is the biggest food holiday of the year—a day devoted completely to feasting and drinking and being merry! It’s the only day that almost everyone forgoes any restrictions and pigs out, to the brink of explosion. As […]
