According to the ever-entertaining 2009 class e-mail, at 9:00 PM, baked goods and hot drinks will be available in Lerner Piano Lounge for your academic sustenance. But this is no ordinary study break: Go Ask Alice! will be there with “post cards, sexually charged refrigerator magnets, squeegee balls and rubbers.” As such, this event has […]

Wings, chips, soda, candy, and maybe even hot chocolate! Bwog doesn’t see why stealthy upperclassmen won’t be able to crash. Good eating! In other, competely unrelated […]

“Columbus was a criminal,” bellowed Hakim from the Low Steps mere moments ago. Disagree!, reply the College Republicans, who are grilling burgers and hot dogs for their fellow Columbus Day celebrants. Yet CUGOP president Chris Kulawik, C ’08 emphasized that they are not “celebrating” Columbus per se: “we’re just recognizing it’s a national holiday” he said, […]

Various anti-colonial interests are currently gathered on Low Plaza in celebration of Decolonization Day, an anti-Colonial rejoinder to this most colonial of federal holidays.

From 12:00 until 2:00, Columbia Coalition Against the War is willing to buy your petition signature with both normal cupcakes (the smallest type of cakes) and vegan cupcakes.

At 4 pm Sunday, JJ’s place is the launch spot for a student group with a name that cuts to the heart of student charity – the “Feel Good” project, through which grilled cheese sandwiches are sold in order to raise money for world hunger. It is a known fact that eating grilled cheese sandwiches, […]

For those of you who haven’t hit your 5th fruit or vegetable today, there are dozens of bananas in the Lerner lobby just waiting to be eaten. Not creepy anthropomorphic bananas, mind you, but bananas of the healthy, mushy-brown, delicious and edible kind. So go get one.
