Yup, It’s A BBQ
The administration has given the OK to a 40s on 40 replacement: as reported last Monday, its replacement will be “The Senior BBQ,” held on April 7th from 12-2. How much this will differ from last year’s incarnation remains to be seen, but no doubt last year’s rural-farm-esque fence will be a key part of the humiliation.
Also, side note to potential brownbaggers: our fine university thinks snow kills small children, so your beverage will probably be considered first-degree murder. Slake your thirst at your own risk.

If it is from Columbia Catering, it is not a BBQ. It is a cookout. Unless the seniors get to make a giant bonfire.
I was just going to say that. its cookout unless brisket, ribs or pulled pork are served after being cooked/smoked over a fire. i hate that everyone up here calls cookouts bbqs. its a disgrace to true BBQs everywhere.
Fuck it, man. I’m brownbagging. Let them try to arrest me.
they can’t stop all of us. or they can try, but I’ll give them a run for their money
student councils are a sellout
the key to drinking on 40s on 40 is just to avoid Low Plaza. every public safety guy and his mom is down there. a bunch of us drank from Nalgene bottles by Mathmatics last year and no one came near us.
Who really wants to drink in front of Mathematics?
UNITE!
We’ll differentiate your ass so hard your colon will look like a klein bottle!
in front of fayerweather and contemplate the historical nature of public drinking!
THEY LIKELY WONT ARREST US ALL; LETS STOP BITCHING AND JUST DO 40S ON 40…
where do i sign up!
be beer at the BBQ
from 12-2??? What about those of us who have CLASS?
you have class you skip it and stop crying.
or just don’t go and drink on your own.
That the Passover is actually 40′s on 40, which is why it had to be moved to a Tuesday…
PASSOVER? Thats why they moved it? This is a fucking non-denominational university!!!!!!
Drink in front of Lewisohn, talk for the sake of talking, and attempt to creepily hit on freshman girls!
so, basically, columbia is buying seniors lunch?
I can just taste the dry overcooked hamburgers now…
anybody actually know when 40s on 40 is? is april 7th correct?
NEWMAN’S DAY! one beer an hour!
we’ll go to the BBQ crap on the 7th, and then on the 9th (when 40s on 40 ACTUALLY is) we will brown bag it… DO BOTH!
The “war on fun” may actually be winning said “war”… but we could at least put up a good fight for a battle or two…
As far as I recall, there has always been a barbecue in April– at least for every year since I’ve been a freshman– and it’s been for all of the classes. Alcoholic beverages have been supplied for those 21+, but the barbecue has been supplied for all. And one time, at least, it rained furiously and everything was drenched in water.
obviously 12-2 is a completely unreasonable time for any senior activity.
Passover? Isn’t the number of students who are affected by class much greater than the number affected by Passover? Bullshit.
being LAME. Seriously STOP IT. Skip class. Also who was class from 1215-110. I dunno maybe you do, but SKIP IT.
… again wow
