Here at Bwog, we believe the best things come in small packages. Thus our newest feature returns with some of the tiniest, mundane and most lovable headlines from campus. Blue Java in Butler is sporting some fancy new wares. These include elegantly decorated cupcakes in individual boxes,and enormous Valentine’s Day cookies have now appeared all […]

David Hu has sacrificed his body in the name of Bwog before. This time around, he gets closer to the new Butler vending machines than we suspect anyone else has, and actually purchases drinks with names like “SLAP” and “Full Throttle.” His harrowing account follows. David, we salute you. As I stare at the comically […]

New vending machines in Butler Cafe and Uris are getting macho and crunchy, respectively. The B-School cafeteria, which already basically monopolizes the other vending machines on this campus anyway, is offering FreshDirect microwaveables: Rosa Mexicano Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas with Ranchera Sauce, Terrance Brennan Beef Bourguignon with Egg noodles, and Wild Alaskan Halibut with Wild […]

The Morningside minutiae in our little Bubble Above 110th Street is what keeps us together. The tiny parts of our neighborhood that make it both boring and wonderful would seem trivial to anyone on the outside.  Occasionally, we’ll be taking the time to share the minor details with you. The Entitled Sophomores indignantly note that […]

Dream sweet, sweet dreams of the Reference Room ever being this empty again.

It’s time for another installment of our exam season photo essays. The amount of paper crammed into a single desk never ceases to amaze:

Multiple reports from the 209 front tell Bwog that about 10-30 people just entered 209 and played “YMCA.” A spate of vicious dancing ensued. Points to the merry pranksters for getting people to play along, with only a few points subtracted for being decked out in what several tipsters called “80s gear” and spandex. Unfortunately, […]

At least for this student: The American Institute of Psychical Research denied any involvement.

In honor of Butler’s 75th anniversary, its staff has put together a cool collage outside the 3rd floor catalog room. Photos include the building in various stages of construction…   …interesting tidbits about the library’s past uses (including something called “freshman-sophomore rush” through the 50s) and a new contender for best Butler photo ever (below, […]

Alumni tipster and Bwog loyalist Ed Hoffman informs us that James Franco has confirmed his exodus from 209 once and for all. After one student accused him of only frequenting the library to check out all the hot young things, poor Franco was forced to study in Dodge, where he had “to sit alone in […]

It’s that time of year again. Fraternities are currently dressing their pledges in suits and making them yell animal noises in Butler 209. It’s embarrassing! But it shows they care!

Blue Java Express has seen the light and joined, well, everyone, in making hot water free.  While customers once had to pay an exorbitant $.75 for a cup of hot water, enterprising students can now provide their own tea or instant coffee and find endless refills at Blue Java.  These are hard times: make sure […]

For several years, cinephiles hoping to use Butler’s growing DVD collection (now over 10,000 titles) were forced to watch the DVDs inside the library, without being able to borrow them. But last year’s otherwise-unfortunate demise of Kim’s Video and Music has finally yielded one big benefit: parts of its collection have made it into the […]

The tomb, also known as Butler, is not conducive to the strong, speedy wireless that’s oh-so-helpful for Procrastination Week. So, for midterms, we marched around with our laptop trying to determine where the best signal would be. Signal strength is arbitrary (who knew?), so for finals we have taken it a step further. Bwog contacted […]

A merry prankster appears to have set off the fire alarm in Butler, driving the huddled masses out into the pouring rain (UPDATE: students have been let back in now). Tipster Amanda Santamaria, though, stuck around long enough to record the rarest of sights: an empty Butler 403. And yet it probably still smells to […]
