The Bwog
If Columbia Can't Come To Your Warehouse, Then Your Warehouse Must Come To Columbia

Hudson BuildingThe signs of spring are everywhere on campus: two students sitting on the lawn listening to a radio, absolutely no frisbees whatsoever, and the season's first whiff of insanity wafting up from Manhattanville. This afternoon's distinctive smell is caused by Anne Whitman, the owner of the former Sheffield Farms stable building. The University is still negotiating the terms of a purchase deal with Whitman, which Bwog supposes is why Ms. Whitman is now asking the university to move the building four blocks. [Emphasis added.]

Insanity! Back-of-the-envelope engineering! Poorly Photoshopped site maps! All after the jump.


My Sense of Direction's All Trucked Up!

Have you found yourself getting lost more and more as of late? Blame this maintenance truck, which has been driving around the Columbia area, both on and off campus, for the past week. A sign is posted in its rear window, giving directions to the Registrar's Office, the ID Center, and Student Financial Services—all of which, incidentally, are located in Kent Hall. Which would all be well and good, of course, if the directions given by the sign didn't keep changing along with the position of the truck. So far, it's been seen in front of Hamilton facing east, on the path to Low facing north, and on Broadway facing south. Confused pre-frosh don't know what to do.
