Bwog respects our heritage/amorous affair by posting each issue of The Blue & White. The latest issue, available this week, is a cornucopia of delights: a gripping debate on the merits of shaving, tales of Columbia’s forgotten protests, and profiles of two truly awesome students, among others. Here, the staff of Bwog and The Blue & White presents a collection of brief personals. Valentine’s Day is long gone, but they are presented nonetheless, because even magazine writers need to find love.
