It’s that time of the week again: almost Friday, and no one to take to the prom. Never fear! Bwog Personals presents you with the equally stunning Amanda and Orlando. If either of these two strikes your fancy, email bwgossip@columbia.edu and let us know. If it’s a match, we’ll spring $5 for a date. Coffee, pastries at Café 212—it’s your choice, and a probably guaranteed good time! And remember: if you or anyone you know would like to be a personal, let us know. We’re forever accepting nominations.
