Why did BC spend $13K on an ice sculpture, when I have to decide whether to pay my tuition or be able to afford groceries?

It’s hard to watch people spend money on what seems frivolous when you’re strapped for cash. If you want to make sure BC is spending money wisely while students experience food insecurity, take a look at the BC Factbook, research food insecurity (bit.ly/campus-food-insecurity), and bring your concerns to a wider audience – maybe a letter to the editor (or article) at the Eagle or Gavel or perhaps a report to the UGBC.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
