Two cars collided a short while ago near Amsterdam and 105th, and there were reports of a loud bang and a fire afterward. The fire is out now after a quick response from the FDNY and everybody has been removed from the wreck, but you may have still smelled the thick smoke.
Bwog is proud to participate in the grand tradition of hand-shaking and how-de-doos that is the first week of college. We’ll be amongst the publications, meetin’ ‘n’ greetin’ from 5:30 to 6:30 in the Satow Room on Lerner 5. No resumés required! Honor via Wikimedia

Interesting positions await from the Department of the Interior! (Not to ruin the fun, but a quick Google search reveals this is probably a product of Sign Hacker, so no need to actually worry.)
Welcome to Boringside Heights, in which Bwog chronicles the mundane modifications made on our campus and neighborhood! Just in time for your return/arrival, Columbia has improved itself.
