I was one of the people seriously disappointed in the choice of Matt Fox as our class day speaker, but he turned out to be an awesome choice; he was more inspiring and entertaining than the bookish famous intellectual who bored everyone at my sister’s graduation…just because they’re accomplished academically or politically doesn’t make them a good class day speaker

Here, here BC 09! Seriously now, #43. One can only be a hater for so long. Every dog has its day, right? At least you get to attend, should you wish to celebrate the (gasp) accomplishment of your peers :)

Bitter elitism is super attractive! Do you really feel the need to reassert your self-worth any time that Barnard (gasp) gets a sweeter deal?

I’d take Joel Klein over my graduation speaker: Juan Gonzalez, a C-list Daily News columnist who happened to be expelled from the College in 1968 for being too radical. Or speaking too much truth to power. Or something. Lame.

We don’t call it Class Day at Barnard.

The others (Billie Jean King, David Remnick, et al) are medalists but not speakers.

for barnard that commencement speakers are not necessarily an indication of the prestige or calibre of an educational institution!

We’re working on 301 Butler; stay tuned, we’re also working on opening up classroom space (that is suitable enough for study space) as well…

And yes, I share you anger among ppl camping out; you now have the right to move ppl’s stuff, and if you feel uncomfortable moving it, ask a librarian to help you with it.

CC appears to be run by literal mongs if the best we can do is get Joel “Who are you?” Klein.

This whole episode is a fucking disgrace.

who’s officially in charge of CC’s class day speaker — is it the entire council, or the members in CC ’08? Whoever it is, they must be getting a world of shit right now.

They’re getting Bloomberg, the editor of the New Yorker, and Billie Jean King, and the best we can do is Joel Klein? This is like a bad joke. Congrats to Barnard; way to blow it big time CCSC.

Bwog,

Why can’t 301 Butler be open all year?

Why are people still camping? I understand the phenomenon of being overwhelmed with work. But I carry my books, my folders, and my computers with me to and from campus. I find space when I need it, and relinquish it when I’m done. Why the hell is everyone else so thoughtless?

I thought after last year’s controversy over matt fox, CCSC would be sure to get someone good this year. Looks like I was wrong.

CCSC, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
