Late-breaking news out of Satow tonight, as SEAS ’09 president Kim Manis announced at the ESC weekly meeting that 40s on 40 could be replaced with a senior barbeque.
Details will not be finalized until another meeting between adminstrators and students tomorrow night, but Manis reported that “although details are still being worked out, alcohol would still be provided.”
CC ’09 President Mark Johnson, who declined to go into specifics at last night’s CCSC meeting, told Bwog that “after our final meeting tomorrow evening we should be able to provide reliable and confirmed information on any replacement event.” If things hold, maybe seniors can still shout “hooray, beer!”

@boo boring bbq hooray beer!
@w/e there best be beer
@i prefer st. ides high gravity malt liquor
@ewww you are clearly a philistine
@stop whining and just fill up your nalgene/water bottle with some olde english.
@meh a 6 year old tradition in a 250+ year old school.
@wow you are an incredibly innovative individual… or have no friends and thus did not come to this conclusion months ago.
@idea yo we should just do 40s on 40 on another day….like 38 days before grad…..throw those motherfuckers off
@no.. 40’s on 40 has to happen 40 days before graduation… do you not get it? that’s the point! fuck the administration… two day before or two days after is a cop out… i will be brown bagging with my 40 exactly 40 days before graduation whether they like it or not…
@senior class You guys better walk the talk… or else you will be known as not only the class that has an entirely worthless class council (which we all do) but also the class that destroyed a university tradition with decades of precedent. I want to see drunk people that day while I go to take exams.
@actually the 40s “tradition” is only 6 years old.
3 years unofficial, 3 official
i think this is better than having nothing
@hmm I think I might just put mine in another container. nobody can stop me from drinking out of another bottle, can they?
@april 7 because of jewish holidays. 42 days.
but yes, please brown bag it.
@40s on 40 was never just about the alcohol. saying that this bureaucratic bastardization is 40s on 40 is like saying you’ll have just as much fun in a sandbox as you will in cancuun over spring break; sure, there’s sand there, but the spirit just isn’t there
@and yet you can still hope to pick up some hot chicks in a sandbox.
@hey class council don’t call it a fucking bbq if the only shit there are steamed hotdogs, pre-grilled hamburger patties, and salad. that shit’s for cheap middle school graduation parties.
@yeah Brownbagging it, wherever they make us go. And if administrators harass students, I suggest all seniors nearby gather up behind the senior in solidarity
@the question is... will the beer be rationed ridiculously… involving tallies and bracelets?
@there is no question. fuck this shit we shall do 40s on 40!
@April 9 And there will be beer
@also... what day is 40s on 40 supposed to be?… i guess i could count, but i’m guessing if i lazily ask bwog, someone will know…
@OUTRAGE fuck this.
i want my 40’s on 40, damnit.
this event was amazing when the seniors our freshman year did it… and it has just progressed to be lamer and lamer… fuck Columbia and their goddamn war on fun!
@brass monkeys can you be arrested for drinking out of an OJ carton? i think not
@i think.... brass monkeys are the way to go
@but will there be beer?
@jesus christ bunch of sellouts. Why do we even have student councils? They are worthless and just steal $587 of my student life fees every year.
@I agree CCSC needs to take a stand. They’ve become too connected with the administration. It’s good to have solid discussions in order to plan events, enact new beneficial policies, etc., but when our own representatives back down and let Dean Gay Gay Gay and Dean Kromm run the show without objection, they mock their classmates and any sense of unity that may exist.
@builder fuck that shit. 40s on 40.
@CC Senior Too right, mate! I’ll be brownbagging it on whatever April date 40s on 40 is supposed to take place. Let them try to arrest me. Everybody should just do the same.
