Everything has increased in price, but luckily, life has improved ever so slightly here in Morningside. Pastries in Nussbaum have labels. What’s life without a little bit of mystery? Mel’s fry deal: Fries are now $1.75 with a burger and soda/draft beer. (Fries are usually $4.) There’s a new mushroom salad topping at the salad bar […]

The Health Department is, as of this summer, requiring that every restaurant in New York display the letter grades they most recently received for cleanliness. This is a nightmare for everyone; it’s rare that any restaurant will sneak away with no health violations. The grades will be assigned during the next year, when the Health […]

Learned Foote reports from Butler 209: Another photo after the jump.

As of yesterday, tipster Masud Mahdi informs us that Columbia now is now featured in the integrated Google Earth and Google Maps. Cool!

In case you were wondering what building it was that you just walked into, Columbia has thoughtfully provided guidance for the lost: Photos by DCH, GD & AB

The setting: Butler’s Catalog Room. The players: two freshman girls reading To The Lighthouse. A few alcoves over, a table is loudly laughing. Girl #1: That girl’s been laughing for hours. Girl #2: She’s probably reading To The Lighthouse. Ba-dum ching! Photo via Wikipedia

Why? We’re not quite sure… the security guard at the desk had no idea either. Update: our tipster appears to be right! See evidence after the jump

Who knew such scandalous things were allowed in the Butler green zone? Not Bwog! An anonymous tipster sent in this image documenting the work of Columbia’s talented graffiti artists: Good to know that the Stacks aren’t having all the fun.

It’s time for everyone to leave Butler. (Spec) The Columbia bubble isn’t good for our reputation. (Huffington Post) Paterson set the standard for the position of Governor. (Huffington Post) Maybe next year we won’t have to go home on Christmas Eve. (Spec) The government’s answer to helping us all stay healthy. (Huffington Post)

As of 1:55 PM today, there was not a single seat in the Reference Room. Even the bad ones in the back are taken! Bwog swooped in, planted our stuff (sorry sorry), and headed out to the Steps only to find a wood coffin planted on Low Plaza. A few students in black suits handed […]

Suspicious Trash Correspondent Brian Donahoe noticed something that probably wasn’t meant to be thrown in a clear bag on the floor in Butler yesterday evening: (Ed: It says “Cloning Human Beings” for those visually challenged among us)

Bwog received this text message from a visiting friend: “Whats the part of your library where people have sex?”

Then fix it, dear Henry!
