If Barnard’s psychology Professor Robert Remez had a spirit animal, it would be the Sphinx. The one perched on his desk, he explains, reminds him to “maintain an eloquent silence, but it’s not working.” Lucky for Bwog, the eloquent-but hardly silent-professor shared his office for one of our more scholarly features. Katheryn Thayer stopped by his […]
If you haven’t already heard, uniformed policemen raided Campo and the Heights on Friday, and 1020 and Mel’s the following night. According to a sophomore, the cops entered 1020 at 12:30am and approached a group of students sitting at one of the front booths. “Can I see your fake IDs? Let us see your fake […]
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! So go sit on the steps, go find that Fountain of Youth, that long sought El Dorado of Columbia—contentment. Next thing you know it’ll be hot and sweaty. […]
This weekend spawned some particularly sparkly gems. First, in the wee hours of the morning, a fairly intoxicated guy and girl approach the sign-in desk. The guy swipes in, but the girl lingers for a moment. She needs to be signed in: Guy: Oh, so you go to Barnard? Girl: Um, yeah. Is that a […]

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
Here’s a heads-up for those of you who bought dining plans during Suite Selection, perhaps lured by the promise of “Bonus Dining Dollars.” An intrepid tipster warned us that you need to be wary of these tricky plans. 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) […]
