Missing: CCSC – The meeting was canceled this Sunday. Diseased: ESC – Many members absent due to illness, minimal proceedings. Better Things To Do: SGA – Ranks also severely depleted. It’s rush season.

CCSC holds weekly meetings. Brian Wagner attended one of them last night. This is what he saw. The meeting opened with a discussion of a new committee. Bureaucracy!  The special committee would tackle co-sponsorship requests. At present, groups requesting co-sponsorships from the different student councils schlep to four different meetings to present their case. If a new committee […]

Last night’s CCSC meeting began at 8:03 instead of the usual 8:05 because there was a general consensus that it was important to get back to watching the Jets game as soon as possible. Brian Wagner, Bwog’s sideline reporter, has the latest. The Council began with a review of its autumnal accomplishments. 9 resolutions were passed: […]

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 […]

Huzzah! ESC, SGA, CCSC and GSC have allocated a combined total of $20,000 to the Bacchanal Committee this year. This allocations is still a one-time-deal, and future allocations to Bacchanal will depend on a separate resolution. Council members will sit on the Bacchanal selection committee (hey Learned– Weezy F. Baby!) for oversight. The one thing […]

Here is a very long letter signed by leaders of all the student councils about CU-EMS/CAVA’s request to move their HQ from Carman to 103 Broadway. The  councils have decided to support CU-EMS’ move to 103 Broadway, but not 103 and 102 Broadway, as CU-EMS had originally requested. The councils hope the CU-EMS will be […]

Grant D’Avino keeps you up to date! The University Senate passed a smoking ban! As it stands, smoking will be prohibited within a 20-foot bubble around all buildings. The old, and loosely enforced, ban, as per New York state law, of 20 feet only applied to residence halls. Ashtrays or some other type of cigarette […]

Brian Wagner was on the scene. The meeting started with a brief update on the new space CUEMS had requested. GSSC and ESC voted to give them both Broadway 102 and 103, but ABC voted against CUEMS using either one of the rooms. Then, CCSC moved into the main business of the evening. Generally, meetings […]

Brian Wagner keeps you informed! CCSC shook things up last night and started with a game of “Pat on the Back”! Sheets of construction paper, each labeled with a council member’s name, adorned the Satow room. CCSCers wrote compliments on their fellow members’ sheets and took their respective papers home after the meeting. Then shit […]

Eliza Shapiro took a break from being Bwog Editor to listen to the Columbia College Student Council talk about what “a la carte” means for, like, a while. At the beginning of last night’s CCSC meeting, CCSC-people went around told each other who their favorite person at the moment was. CCSC Prez Learned Foote’s current […]

CCSC ’13 brought world-famous band Harry and the Potters to campus yesterday evening. Events also included a costume competition. A wonderful time was had by all. Final photo courtesy of Peter Sterne. All others by DH

Harry and the Potters are coming to Columbia. Yes, they’re a real band—kind of like a wizardy version of They Might Be Giants. Anywho, the sophomores of CCSC decided to make a video about the upcoming Potterpalooza. Ryan Mandelbaum stars as a super badass Harry, and Deaton Jones plays a menacing Malfoy. Bwog was a […]

Grant D’Avino reports! Last night’s CCSC meeting opened with introductions, as it was the first meeting that included representatives and officers from the class of 2014. Along with his or her name and position in CCSC, each person was asked to share an adjective that described him or herself at the present. Bwog’s favorites, in […]

Adam Kuerbitz was there! Last night’s CCSC meeting was a whopper, clocking in at just over an hour and a half. President Learned Foote opened the meeting with a discussion of the recent drama surrounding the council elections, particularly among first-year students. He specifically mentioned Grace Bickers’ recent op-ed piece in Spec about the need […]
