This evening, an enthusiastic crowd of CC sophomores gathered on Low Plaza to announce to the world who they are. CC 2012 lollygagged around, sipping hot chocolate and hacking away at funnel cake like it was the Biloxi County Fair all over again. One girl asked another girl whether she had declared her major yet. […]

In a small room and in front of a small […]

Housing is confusing. We are Bwog, and we know what’s really good (we learned from Young Joc). We told you how the lottery works, and today we’ll tell you what the Housing website doesn’t about most of the dorms on campus. We didn’t get all of them–mostly ones that people don’t complain about much, like […]

A very hungry Bwog stopped by Vareli a few minutes ago and learned it isn’t officially open until Monday. Still, last night, Laura Gabriele crossed the street from her usual perch at Campo and gave Bwog a preview. She received a grand tour tonight from manager Nicholas Belegrinos: “The venue features a bar/lounge area which […]

Last year’s CCSC Exec Board race was, well, non-existent: Sue Yang’s ticket ran unopposed, marking a new low for non-competition for the top posts. For the first time in several years, though, a real race for the Executive Board could be in the offing, as the latest gossip hitting Bwog’s ears/inbox suggests there could be […]

Vareli is finally, gloriously open!– ON MONDAY! So much more to come!

Black clothing predominates. The festivities conclude with a spontaneous poetry contest followed by a midnight reading of Ginsberg’s “Howl” at the Alma Mater statue on the Low […]

It is a stressful time to be a CC sophomore. This week, CC 2012 picks majors, realizes that making a Ruggles suite is difficult, and takes midterms that will determine THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
