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 […]

2:50 p.m. Girl to her female friend in line: “I’m actually glad we’re not in Hogan, I wasn’t really into the idea.

Bwog correspondent Yelena Shuster reports from the group selection frontlines in John Jay Lounge. Josh Groban’s Closer CD sets the tone for today’s first housing selection.
