According to a tipster, the Class of 2018 Facebook group was issued the following challenge:
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CLASS OF 2018 has officially been nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Everyone should assemble next Tuesday, August 26th, at 1:00 P.M. on the Low Library staircase. We will then nominate….I don’t know…Class of 2017? Maybe even University President Lee Bollinger?? LET’S GO!
Skip to 0:37 for the action. Or just wait, it’s only 37 seconds.
Our tipster doesn’t report that anybody picked up on “Low Library staircase” but that :
it got over 120 likes, but the first comment was: “Bro i love your idea and enthusiasm, but coming from California where we’re having a severe drought, it hurts me to see all that water wasted. It’s great that you’re helping bring awareness though” and that got over 40 likes.
Environmental consciousness versus charity and fun, a classic dilemma. What will come of this? Our tipster provides an insightful analysis:
will be interesting to see if kids follow through, but for now i think we can bank on no one going and scratch this as some kids clear way-too-early-push to get his name out to run for office or something of the like.
Indeed. Bwog also hopes that we get to see PrezBo take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, mostly because we want to test our theory that his bionic hair is impervious to water.

@WTF “Low library staircase!?” Que tonto boludo!!!!!!
@Anonymous ha joke’s on you. University President Lee Bollinger doesn’t “do” anything, let alone come to the office.
@CC'18 i’m not “on campus” l because we’re out here in the CATSGILL montanas (i’m biking as a part of CO-OPerative) but i just wanted to say that i love The Blog and will continue to read it throughout my myriad of schoolyears as an underclassmyn
i’m def not LAME like all these other CC’18 JOKERS who probably aren’t even CC’18 they’re just PRETENDING unlike me (:
@Anonymous this is a joke, right?
@Anonymous no he’s super serial, nit-wit.
@anon return of the gontowniks…
@Frat Bro Wet T-Shirt Contest on the steps! Ice water brings out the nips!
@CC 15 “Low Library Staircase” is way too funny to me.
@Anonymous No room for squares here.
@omg shut up 2018 you’re not even here yet and you’re already cliched and annoying.
@Anon Ugh. I hope this guy has donated to the foundation and helps spread awareness, because this is meaningless stunt otherwise.
@CC '16 what a herb. do less
@CC '18 wow, fuck this guy. No way I’m voting for him for whatever
@CC 15 I used to think that Columbia made me mean and jaded, but now I think that all of us were brought by fate to Columbia because we were already mean and jaded.
(It’s a lot like Lost when you get right down to it…)
@Gossip Girl “kids clear way-too-early-push to get his name out to run for office”
^ True. We’ve seen the same done by CC’17 P&VP, as well as CC’16 P. Gotta root for my underdogs, though…
@confused How is he an underdog?
@Gossip Friend Underdog: “a competitor thought to have little chance of winning a fight or contest.”
@Anonymous whatever. he’s a good public speaker.
@Called it Nobody vote for this tryhard.
