Like this sign, last night's CCSC meeting featured gifts as well as other things.
Bwog is your exclusive source for CCSC Secret Santa news. Grant D’Avino reports from last night’s festivities.
Not much official business took place at CCSC last night. In the words of Learned Foote, “We have one resolution, and then we have pie.”
The council began with a brief discussion of the resolution to install publication racks in Lerner. Concerns were raised about oversight, and about the fact that publications might shove recent copies of their magazine, journal, or other pieces of paper in front of those of other publications. “We could paint the racks blue and white,” one council member suggested, hoping to bring some Columbia spirit to the hypothetical shelving units. “That might be partial to The Blue and White,” responded another. So much for that. The council eventually voted in support of the resolution.
Then Secret Santa (and pie)! Senator Alex Frouman was a little surprised to find that everyone would learn who their “Secret Santa” was. “I’m Jewish, I don’t do this shit,” he said. “I feel like it should be called temporarily Secret Santa.” Gifts included a copy of Love Actually, multiple hats, a penguin shaped lunchbox, various “survival kits,” at least three different bottles of vodka, a pair of socks, and “maple products.”
Kenny Durell got his Secret Gift Receiver a pair of Four Lokos, one of which perfectly matched Sean Udell’s purple shirt. “I was trying to make a commentary,” he said of the gift. Durell also confirmed that, as of yesterday evening, CrackDel was stocked with “at least a hundred cases” of Four Loko.
Ryan Mandelbaum gave his Secret Gift Receiver a “Ryan Mandelbaum Sweater.” Ryan Mandelbaum sweaters are generally multicolored and heavily patterned. This sweater was no exception.
Two council members who had forgotten to register for Secret Santa gave each other an imaginary yearlong subscription to Netflix and an imaginary Knicks ticket, respectively. Everyone else was extremely impressed with these gifts until they learned that the gifts did not actually exist.

@the anti-tip http://www.likealittle.com
the cynic in me wants to joke, but the procrastinator in me wants to get sucked in/hopes someone finds my butler bag-lady chic and frazzled demeanor endearing. still, my pride stops me from making a columbia page. someone?
@Senior wisdom yo seriously, man up, and just ask. girls have pussies, they don’t need another one. You have a better chance talking to someone than hiding in your room jacking off to likealittle.com.
@Senior wisdom SERIOUSLY BWOG WHERE ARE THE SENIOR WISDOMS????
YOU HAD STARTED THESE BY THIS TIME LAST YEAR!
I NEED WISDOM FROM MY GRADUATING SENIORS!!!!
@Senior wisdom OH WHOOPS THIS IS FALL SEMESTER, NOT SPRING.

@Bwog, where are you? How am I supposed to know that it’s snowing if you’re not there to tell me?
@wait why do i care what the council got each other for secret santa?
…o that’s right — because i don’t want to write this freaking paper
@p.s. The lights are from the Apollo…why didn’t you think of that!
@uh because i am racist
@RYAN MANDELBAUM WAS THE ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER TO NOT RECEIVE A GIFT, THIS DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE REPORT
@to be fair my person was out sick and I should be receiving it soon

p.s. the person who was out sick also did not receive her gift and LMF is not responding re: the gift’s whereabouts

@Panagiota Daskalopoulous Ordinary Differential Equations:
(talking about our final): At University of Chicago, we had to have oral exams-we picked 3 professors to give us our finals, but they didn’t have to ask about just the subject they taught, they could ask you anything, so you had to know, like, ALL math…so, maybe…you know how when some people have experienced pain they want to inflict it on others…?
@sweet jesus I’m in that class. it makes me want to die.
@Anonymous it’s ok, me too :(
@moving out... where the f did i put my ROLM phone?!?!?! Why do they even give us these things?!?!?! It’s like, welcome to Columbia housing, please hide this phone and then try to find it again in 4-8 months. I’m convinced it’s just a ploy to make money from all the ones that get lost. Well, you and the little mermaid can go f yourselves!
fffff!!!!!
@Hook up to Google voice Call out from your rolm phone because it’s that much awesomer.
@hahahaha I heard that legendary ROLM voicemail this summer. So so good.
@Yo Bwog Snowball fight tonight. Who’s in?
@Any Freshmen looking to get rid of meals? I’m hungry.

@Anonymous Alex Frouman is da best
@HUH why are there searchlights in the sky??? is it the nazis or commies who are coming for us?
@They're coming from the Apollo Theater, at least, as evidenced by the view from EC…no clue why, though…
