Fortunately, the information we received actually concerns some changes recently put forward by our own, arguably less venal CCSC. University Senator David Ali, C’07 President David […]

A few students figured out how to vote online without showing up at the official CCSC voting booth (the Bwog would be happy to introduce our student government to a concept known as “password protection”). In some kind of bid for fairness, now […]

Freshman boy to his friend as he walked out the door after voting: “Anthony Walker is the man!” Win or lose, Bwog agrees. One of a gaggle of freshman girls noisily huddled by the John Jay elevators: “I was only going to vote for our class council because I don’t know any older people, but […]
