At 10:30PM tonight, at Havana Central at the West End, the bigwigs of the Class of 2008 will announce the seniors’ Class Day Speaker.
Last year, Ben Stein, CC’66, reportedly demanded a large cash sum, Barack Obama, CC’83, seemingly blew us off, and we ended up with Lost star Matthew Fox, CC’89, a controversial choice who nevertheless gave a well-received speech that poked fun at the controversy.
Who will it be this year? Bwog has no idea, but we are crossing our fingers for the usual announcement PowerPoint chock full of Comic Sans font and arena rock—we’ll help cart the projector into the West End.

@well 3 Oh Man! If Wikipedia is correct, then Klein must have graduated from Columbia in 1968! (Born 1946, HLS ’71). 40th reunion speech? I’m just speculating since I wasnt at Havana.
@anonymous ii i’m just speculating since godzilla eliminated my capacity to perform any type of resolute thinking.
@well Blix might be approriate for SIPA… if it were 2004.
also, apparently Blix studied a bit at Columbia according to his bio. In what capacity is unclear although he was a “research graduate”.
@who is max power?
@you clearly are a terrible person and fail at life for not understanding your generation’s pop culture phenomena
@texted from 'stend I heard Joel Klein. Whoever that is. Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education. woo hoo
@well 2 Joel Klein is Barack Obama’s understudy. CC –> Harvard Law too!

@Henrietta Collins it’s hans blix.
@Kim Jong-Il Hans Brix? Him again? Back to break my barrs?
@Hans Blix We will be very very angry with you… and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are.
@disappointed Hans Blix? That ineffectual pathetic moron?
@Todd Everest According to the political science department, it’s going to be Hans Blix. I think it’s not an awful choice, but I’m also not a senior. At least it’s a political speaker, unlike last year.

@Insider It’s going to be Ahmadinejad.
@CC 08 We’re going to end up with some random NGO employee that none of us save the council has ever heard of. I kust know it.
@... Whatever. Neda will rock whoever shows up.
@Another 07 Agreed. I was one of the ones complaining loudly about Fox last year, but his speech ended up being perfect.
@CC 07 Matthew Fox was fabulous. I hope whoever it is this year takes notes on how to make a good speech(Fox) vs a bad one(Mccain).
