Barnard jokes

2010-06-30T20:37:07Z

Omfgz:

'''Barnard Jokes''' are an institution at Columbia. It's just part of Columbia life.

== Common venues ==

===Bwog comments and other online fora===

The high degree of anonymity on [[Bwog]] and other online discussion fora, such as [[Bored@Butler]], contribute to a high frequency of Barnard jokes. The same individuals who contribute such jokes online would likely not risk offending Barnard students in person (especially if such Barnard students are highly attractive).

===Wikipedia===

Repeated attempts to add a "Barnard jokes" section to wikipedia's Columbia article have been thwarted by a--curiously--few number of overzealous administrators

==Humorless attempts to explain away the joking==

Some people who can't deal with Barnard jokes resort to [[w:structuralism|structuralist]] justifications as to why the phenomenon takes place and is so widespread. Some of these include the notions that:
*Jokes are also kept alive by freshmen who feel the need to revel in feelings of superiority over someone. They usually just need to get over themselves.
*Barnard women are actually considered prettier than Columbia women, and that many of the jokes such as those mentioned above are perpetuated by freshmen who want to feel included, and Columbia girls who resent Columbia men's preference for Barnard women.

== List of common Barnard jokes ==
*By and large, Barnard girls are Bi and Large.
*Barnard: Where the odds are good but the goods are odd.
*Why did the Columbia student cross the street? To get a blow job.
*Why did the Barnard student cross the street? To get an education.
*Barnard to Bed, Columbia to Wed
*Why is Barnard on the West side of Broadway? So if the Hudson floods, all of the dykes will protect Columbia.
*A Barnard girl goes down quicker than the vodka it took to make her look pretty.
*Barnard girls are lesbians that steal Columbia girls' boyfriends.
*Not ''all'' Barnard girls were rejected by CC... Some were rejected by SEAS.
*''Alternative version:'' Not ''all'' Barnard girls were rejected by CC... Some were rejected by GS.
*We'll stop bashing Barnard when Barnard stops sucking.
*What's the smartest thing to come out of a Barnard girl's mouth... a Columbia guy's...
*What do Barnard girls and Columbia girls have in common? They both got in to Barnard.

Wien pervert

Omfgz: /* The Wien Pervert */

'''The Wien Pervert'''

The [[Wien]] Pervert is a man who calls girls living in Wien (on their room phone) and famously whispers to them "Guess why I'm whispering." This is, of course, the most freaky thing that could ever happen. According to a public Safety official, the Wien pervert has been sexually harassing girls for over a decade. It is theorized that he looks up girls on the Columbia website in order to get their room number.

'''Dealing with him:'''

For most people this will not be a problem--simply disconnecting your room phone will prevent him from ever contacting you. If you need to use your room phone, usually just hanging up will suffice to quell his perverted efforts. Although he has been known to call back, these instances are rare. What you should not do is ask him exactly why he is whispering, because then he will divulge on an explicit explanation on what sexual things he wants to do to you.

Wien Hall

{{Infobox reshall
|Name=Wien
|Image=WienMain.jpg
|Built=[[1925]]
|Renovated=[[2001]]
|Population=368 Forsaken Souls}}

'''Wien Hall''' (not "Wein") is sometimes seen as a decrepit and undesirable [[:Category:Residence halls|residence hall]]. However, many residents would beg to differ.

The juxtaposition of President [[Bollinger]]'s recently multi-million dollar renovated [[President's House|house]] directly behind Wien only serves to underscore how awful Wien is as a housing option. It also helps give Wien the nickname "PrezBo's Projects." Slightly more endearing terms include "Fort Awesome", used by Wien-bound residents in denial, and "PrezBo's Guesthouse". Wien ''residents'' are sometimes known as Wieners. No kidding. [[The Bwog]] often refers to residents as "prisoners" or "inmates".

Wien was traditionally full of sophomores, but today most singles go to juniors, and only the doubles go to sophomores.

== History ==
[[Image:WienDiningHall.png|thumb|240px|The old Johnson Hall Women's Dining Hall]]
The site of Wien Hall was originally occupied by a building from the [[Bloomingdale Insane Asylum]], but the building was demolished upon the construction of [[Low Library]]. The rumor that Wien Hall used to be an insane asylum is therefore false. Wien does indeed resemble an insane asylum with its disheveled appearance, barred windows, personal sinks, large wooden doors, and permanently open vents. However, [[Buell Hall]] is the only remaining building from the asylum.

At some point before World War II, the university recognized that the diminutive [[Hartley Hall|Hartley]], Livingston (now [[Wallach Hall|Wallach]]), and [[Furnald Hall|Furnald]] would not be able to accommodate the student body, which was approaching 17,000. Thus, in [[1925]], Columbia built Johnson Hall, named for [[Samuel Johnson]], the first President of King's College, and his son [[William Samuel Johnson]], the first President of Columbia College.

Johnson was built along with [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]] as a high-rise to accommodate as many students as possible. Since Johnson was in the far east of the campus, it was designated for female students to distance them from the men, who could be distracted by females. It was built for graduate students because the administration didn't care about undergraduates.

[[McKim, Mead, and White]] designed the building, but did not follow the architectural pattern of the main part of the campus. The interior was decorated in the Colonial style, rich with carpets, curtains, and drapes, supposedly to evoke a homely and feminine ambiance, in contrast to John Jay's masculine interior. Like John Jay, Johnson was more than just a dormitory. It housed an infirmary, a student activities center, and the bottom floor was meant to house a refectory (dining hall), but this was never built. Instead, a facility housing several fast food ventures operated out of the space designated for a true dining hall. Several decades later, Columbia revisited the idea of placing a refectory on the ground floor, but historical preservation guidelines strictly forbade any kitchen equipment.

Johnson's most famous female graduate student was [[Pulitzer Prize]] winning author [[Eudora Welty]], who spent a year at [[Columbia Business School]] in [[1930]]. The residence hall became Columbia's first co-educational dorm when [[SEAS]] started to admit women in the 1970s. In [[1984]], [[Lawrence A. Wien]] began a spate of generous giving to Columbia, culminating in the construction of [[Wien Stadium]]. Johnson Hall was renamed in his honor.

In [[2001]], the whole building got new windows and new tile floors. In [[2007]], facilities replaced the old room doors whose ventilation grates and complete failure to provide sound insulation were a hallmark of the building. The fast food court that once occupied the first floor was replaced with offices for [[Alice!]] in [[2008]].

== Facilities ==
All rooms in Wien notably have their own sink, which are occasionally used as informal urinals. [[Alice!]] is located on the ground floor, as is a nicely appointed lounge with piano, wood floor, rugs, etc.

=== Floors ===
* Floor 9 has very high ceilings (almost two feet higher than the other floors).
* Floors 10-12 have half as many residents as floors 3-9.
* The floor 11 bathroom (women) has a bathtub.
* Floor 12: rooms 1218 and 1220 have their own toilet.

=== Rooms ===
* 8 big walk-through doubles
* 22 other walk-through doubles
* 6 doubles
* 297 singles

== Advantages and disadvantages ==

=== Advantages ===
* Great views from many rooms
* 03, 06 and 41 lines are >135 sq ft singles
* 44 line on floors 3-9 is a 145 sq ft single
* 642/642A and 742/742A are walk-through doubles with private bathrooms and lots of windows
* 1223 and 1224 are enormous doubles with an interconnecting private bathroom, and 7 windows with fantastic views
* Newly-added solid wood doors that can be opened with a CUID.
* Newly-added lounge complete with a kitchen (large refrigerator, stovetops, cabinets, sink, dishwasher) and flatscreen tv
* Newly-added computer lab with printers
* Newly-added laundry room

=== Disadvantages ===
* No floor kitchens. (Kitchen Facility with 4 burners, 1 oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a large refrigerator located on the 2nd floor)
* No floor lounges/TVs (single flatscreen TV in 2nd floor lounge)
* Unisex bathrooms on alternating floors (males on even, females on odd)
* Sinks in each of the rooms could attract the breeding of insect larvae, bacteria, and vermin if not properly washed regularly - don't expect the custodial service to do it for you. Silverfish bugs, which thrive in moist, dark, unclean spaces, have been reported to crawl out of the sinks and to multiply inside people's rooms. Moral of the story is to clean the sinks.
* The [[Wien pervert]] is a pervert that has been known to call girls living in Wien on their room phone; he whispers, "Guess why I'm whispering?" Although this is very creepy, he has never been known to harm anyone and rarely calls back if he is ignored. If you play into his game and ask "Why?" there is a greater chance that he will harass you in the future. This can be avoided by disconnecting your room phone.

Many a Wien resident has been caught on the roof by an eagle-eyed guard. On clear nights, the view on Wien roof is magnificent. It is recommended that one round up a group of people and perform the Primal/Final Scream on the roof together.
