Seeking comfort after my tragic, yet beautifully reported assassination, I decided to attend another ESC meeting last night. Alas, no comfort; but a merry time discussing school on-goings was in store. The Alumni Affairs and Professional Development Representative affirmed Columbia’s first implementation of the Recyclebank program. But one engineer expressed concern about abuse to the […]

If you need some respite from frantic cramming tonight, head over to John Jay lounge from 8-10, where a tipster tells us that the SEAS First Year Class Council will be hosting a “hot chocolate study break.” They’ll also be announcing the launch of their new website, www.seas2011.com. Oops… hope we didn’t steal your thunder, […]

A few tipsters have sent Bwog links to a website called EveryBlock. Users can search by zip code or address to find out all sorts of neat things about a neighborhood like elevator malfunctions, construction work violations and grossest of all: restaurants’ health code violations.  Kitchenette scored a moderately upsetting 14 points, the most nauseating […]

In which ex-freshman Parker Fishel imparts his first-year dorm wisdom. Carman There is a magnetism about Carman that tends to polarize its residents. There are some that are fiercely loyal to the residence hall, almost to the point of confrontational. They will hear nothing of the overflowing trash bins and it’s resulting stench, nor the […]

A tipster squeals: “Food Expo at John Jay Dining Hall! Chicken Nuggets! Cookie Accosters! Free Naked Juice! Hurry!” That’s all we got. And accoster’s not in the widget dictionary.

First-year Class Council candidate (and incumbent President) Mark Modesitt is going through some rough times. He has been accused of being  a “rapist” in that most literally indelible of media – Sharpie marker on his dorm room door. Modesitt (as will be revealed in a Spec article Wednesday morning) has contacted Public Safety to launch […]

  In which Columbia dining connoisseur Dena Yago informs how much soul she got for her swipe at last night’s John Jay dinner: Kicking off Black History month, John Jay held what is colloquially referred to as “Black Night.” DVD’s and CD’s of Sidney Poitier and Mary J. Blige were tactfully set up over the […]

Well, friends, it seems that John Jay is infested with much larger, much blacker, much furrier pests than those of yesteryear—those being the famed bedbugs. Bwog recently received several pictures of pestilence countermeasures deployed throughout John Jay and the cafeteria’s back room. Bwog also speaks to its janitors on occasion. Last time, Bwog asked what […]

    Move in day at John Jay…

Bwog has been a little obsessed with trays lately. So obsessed we’ve started traying around with scissors. It is the only artwork we’ve done all year, and it’s only cool if you know about the OBEY Giant and F. Shepard Fairey’s phenomenological campaign of aimless propaganda, now a brilliantly whorish exercise in mass merch production. […]

  One fine Tuesday morning, your Bwoggers tried to beat Reading Week boredom with a fortray into John Jay cafeteria. They went to take a surtray of the tray puns they had found etched into trays there. After a few short inquiries, they gained early entrance into the cafeteria—John Jay’s director was equally curious as […]

Overheard outside John Jay:”I didn’t get any sleep last night. I went to bed at 12:30, but I kept being woken up by Richard III.” Nothing like the wake-up call of betrayal, murder, and outdoor Shakespeare. See the final showing tonight at 8 PM. Be at the Sundial.

Bwog correspondent Adam Stern recently sat down in John Jay Dining Hall to speak with Brad Sullivan over a plate of eggs and hash-browns. Brad Who-ivan? Well, the answer to that question lies in another. It is a question that we have all asked ourselves at some point while sitting in the first-year dining hall: […]

Freshman boy to his friend as he walked out the door after voting: “Anthony Walker is the man!” Win or lose, Bwog agrees. One of a gaggle of freshman girls noisily huddled by the John Jay elevators: “I was only going to vote for our class council because I don’t know any older people, but […]
