Columbia College Dean Austin Quigley is hosting a senior class reception tonight at 5:30 in Lerner’s Satw Room. The event announcement mentions a “SUPER SECRET-HUGE-AMAZING announcement at 6:00pm sharp,” which, Bwog hears, is the identity of the 2007 Class Day speaker. We’re hoping for a speaker who’s a bit more Tony Kushner than John McCain – perhaps that gent to the right?
Guesses as to the secret identity welcome, though we feel safe in saying that it won’t be Barack “Alma Mater Who?” Obama.

@blueberry lol @ ’07
@that is so sad. oh, poor class of 2007.
@Jodie Foster would have been much, much better.
@SPEAKER Matthew Fox. Confirmed.
@... it’s conor oberst. before you people start going, “who the fuck is…?” just google. an interesting choice, but not sure how it directly relates to columbia. oh well. not my graduating class.
@Best-case scenario DAVID SEDARIS.
@cupcake maybe McDreamy will stop by
@Sprinkles My money is on a certain ex-mayor.
@woo marion barry!
@oh wait fuck that. Spike Lee. My money’s on Spike. Pretty sure he’s just auditing, not pursuing a degree. When The Levees Broke was incredible, the Knicks will be done for the season, Outside Man won’t start filming for a year, it all checks out…
@legacy Maggie Gyllenhaal’s newborn would be better than Matthew Fox.
@Imweekslate How come Bwog didn’t catch this

Why doesnt Kuluwik just set up camp over at Fox, the brown nosing traitor.
@ok, so i was unaware that enrolling at columbia meant you had to loe columbia. because i for one hate it here. anyways, back to the point: since when does speaking out against something that happened here make someone a traitor? by that logic hillary clinton = benedict arnold?? wha??
@haha being accepted at columbia = love columbia
being enrolled at columbia = hate columbia
being an alumi/ae, or nearing graduation = love columbia sentimentally, against the better judgement of one’s own reason
wait and see, it’ll happen to you.
@Elizabeth The art of loing isn’t hard to master.
@I really hope it's Brian Depalma
@Anonymous No word on the SEAS class day speaker?
@fuckin yo, fuckin RICKY GERVAIS
@Borat Harvard had Ali G in character a couple years ago… let’s outdo them with Borat… CHENQUE!
@Colbert is made of awesome. That would be too good to be true, and they might want someone more serious. :(
@Please please please let it be Colbert. He gave a great speech at Knox: http://www.knox.edu/x12547.xml
@dudeferreal at least Kraft and his organization won a superbowl title (didn’t he?). And he built that Hillel building. What does Fox do? Lost shmost.
@pshh No! Stephen Colbert! I’m sure there’s a connection there somewhere…
@They should get John Stewart. He made fun of us on National TV, thats a connection.
@DPD Oof, Matthew Fox WOULD be worse than Jodie. Damn.
@matthew fox is his name
@I simply refuse to believe that…that would make Robert f’in Kraft look good in comparison
@ehd not to mention I think the area he lived in has since been gentrified. What cause is there to reference it anyway? I think I read somewhere that he spent most of his time here with his head buried in his books anyway, not terribly social or rahrahrah with the school spirit. Which describes most people here.
@maybe it's from Lost. (better known as dr. jack shepperd, CC’88). and, yes, Bwog, that’s so much fucking worse than jodie foster.
@the people Bwog keeps poking fun at Obama and his school pride–did he say something awful about Columbia that we missed? dish! dish! We love the drama
@nope the point is that he almost never references columbia. he was here as a transfer for two years, lived in some shitty absentee landlord tenement off campus because there wasn’t enough housing back then and made few friends, so there probably isn’t much for him to say anyway.
@jodie went to yale.
but rick moranis, yea that would be fucking sweet. how about kirk cameron? what has he been up to lately. maybe john goodman. oh, boy i can’t wait.
@none You absolutely can do worse than Jodie Foster at Penn. The speaker is way, way worse. Think B-movie actors you’ve never heard of.
@for real? have you got the scoop? is it really someone that awful?
@how about rick moranis!
@ahem CCSC =/= CC
@I can only hope BRUCE CAMPBELL
He was in Spiderman.
Spiderman goes to Columbia.
@what? what affiliation does Bill Clinton have with CCSC?
@He is Bill Clinton
@watcher The rule is that you have to be in some way affiliated with the CCSC family. McCain got in because of Megan. Gore, while an adjunct at the J-School, has no CC ties.
@DPD After losing the 2000 election, Gore was a visiting professor at the J-School.

@alma mater what? Bwog will be letting us know at 6:01 what/who the announcement is, right?
@Class Day Rules say, I believe, that the speaker has to be a Columbia alum or faculty.. they made a special exception for McCain.
Al Gore?
Or maybe the announcement is Quigley is pulling a Zvi and stepping down?
@wait up if theres a rule mandating the speaker have some legitimate columbia affiliation, how would gore be picked? at least mccain has/had a kid here
