Freshmen are probably noticing that NSOP slows down the pace of events quite a bit as it moves into the weekend. Bwog thought it would slow things down as well and bring you a round-up of Columbians in the news. We know it’s not all national or internation news, but not all of us can be presidential candidates.
- President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia remains closely allied to the United States despite continual pressure from Russia.
- Tim Horrigan CC ’69 is running for New Hampshire State representative. For more background on him, check out his Netscap-era website.
- The Buffalo News profiles Dan Foote CC ’85, who is currently on diplomatic mission to Iraq.
- Future alum/current 2010er Raphael Graybill was in Denver this past week as the youngest member of Montana’s delegation.

@anoner Barack Obama, CC ’83, is somewhere in the country being kind of a big deal.
@... yeah but ever since that thing last year, no one on campus likes to give him any additional media attention.
@and.... And for some reason, he hardly ever mentions the fact that he spent some time here, though he mentions his Harvard law degree every other day.
@.................. good point! /sarcasm
@you would think that he’d play up Columbia more having majored in IR while being criticized for lacking expertise in it.
@so? Simply majoring in IR doesn’t mean you’re qualified. You need experience, too, not just education.
@Ray BWOG, can you post about Facebook’s Books On Campus application so we can recruit freshmen and buy/sell affordable books?
@Anonymous My second life avatars are selling textbooks :-) I am not 100% stuck in the Netscape era.)
