Yesterday a City Council committee voted in favor of Columbia’s proposed Inwood development, Boathouse Marsh. That vote introduced the issue to the entire City Council today, and they voted in favor of the development. This means that the University can go ahead with its plans for Boathouse Marsh, which were drawn up by the same […]
Tonight at 6 pm in Lerner 569, the EconSociety is holding a general body meeting. People will be meeting the board, talking about the future of the club, and doing exec-board related things. There will be free cheese and crackers “plus other snacks.” We hope theses mysterious other snacks are grapes. Grapes are a must […]

We’ve said it before, and we may have jumped the gun, because it got cold again. But go look outside! The (decidedly phallic) fountains are back on!

This almost graceful array of laptop chargers was spotted in Butler! Look at those beautiful parallel catenaries! What Bwog wonders is how did these intrepid and dedicated students sling their chargers up that way? Like a grappling hook!? Or a lasso? What say you, wanderer? Name that title quote!
The campaigning has begun! The members of the CU Charge party are trying to win your votes with free bags of trail mix. They’ll be outside John Jay from 12 pm. Top tip: you can just take the food, you don’t have to talk politics! Snack foods from Wikimedia Commons

You will get the extra dollars next semester–after a long summer break. But you’ll probably forget about […]
The City’s Pest Control team has suffered some cuts. Mr. Bloomberg says more people are complaining about rats because people are complaining more, not because there are more rats. Hm. (Gothamist) Good news for folks in McBain—NY is working on a way to reduce light and noise from firetrucks on non-life threatening business. (Westport News) […]
Ferris Booth and everything else got cleared out around 8:30 am! Sorry to you who were planning on a quick bite before your 9 am. For those of you arriving after it ends–maybe try to squeeze a free meal out of Ferris in the post-drill rush?
