It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…the latest news from Student Government! CCSC: VP for Campus Life Deysy Ordonez outlined the much-anticipated schedule for College Days, the CC version of E-Week, which will start April 9. Among the highlights: all College Days events, including King’s Ball, will be completely free, Tuesday will see a live […]

The latest from the (now slightly more dangerous) world of student government. ESC: Rather than bask in the victorious silly-string attack on CCSC at the latter’s board meeting, ESC focused on electing a new VP for Policy. Two candidates ran for the position – sophomore Ben Yi and junior Eric Hirani, who has served as […]

We’re not sure how much Prince had to do with the creation of the Diana, but colored berets are definitely involved. This week’s report: CCSC: Last night’s meeting began with some healthy self-analysis and critique, with the council noting their difficulties (As well as successes) in collaborating on policy and events with ESC–there was even […]

A new semester, new parties, new ideas, and even a new building – here’s what’s going on in student government: CCSC: Casino Night (this Thursday from 8-12) will include several big prizes, including a PlayStation 3 and an Asus notebook. More importantly, ticket prices have been cut in half to $5, and there will be […]

The latest from the world of student government: As part of the push to open more rooms for student use (after the giant disappointment that was the opening of Lerner 6), the four councils have secured space in Broadway and Schapiro for future student group use.  To help determine the best use of the space, […]

Bwog would like to extend a lively huzzah to our newly elected class officers: JungHee Hyun, president of Barnard’s SGA first-year class council, and Cherie Meyer, the 2009-2010 University Senator of SEAS. Many thanks to all the candidates, and congratulations to the winners; we promise to keep you on your toes with many a policy-related grievance.

When released last Monday, it was unclear how the NROTC results would affect the University Senate proceeding with the issue. Not only were the results controversially tallied, but they were not broken down for three of the four schools (Barnard being the exception).  However, Council and Senate sources confirm to Bwog that NROTC will not […]

With the NROTC survey scheduled for the week of November 24th (the days before Thanksgiving), normally the events and editorials would already be flying back and forth. But with some sort of “election” last week, student groups are only just now coming around to the NROTC debate. Leading opposition to the return of NROTC is […]

The student councils and a newly-expanded list student groups met last night in the SGO to continue their discussions of the NROTC referendum. Despite the now-public nature of their plans, the meetings remained closed to the press with notes being sent to campus media organizations. The meetings are still focused on the process behind the […]

After Sunday’s news about the ROTC referendum under consideration by the student councils and various student groups, more student groups will be sending representatives to Wednesday night’s meeting in the SGO. The new groups include the Black Students Organization, the Student Organization of Latinos, the Asian-American Alliance, and the United Students of Color Council. ABC […]

Yes, you read that right. Sources confirm that representatives from the CC, GS, and SEAS student councils, in conjunction with SGB, the College Democrats, CQA, CPU, the Hamilton Society, and the College Republicans, have been meeting since school began to discuss plans for a student referendum on the return of Naval ROTC to campus. At […]

Thinking it might take a crack at participatory government, Bwog popped its head into the University Senate Town Hall in Lerner Cinema this evening, to find approximately ten students in attendance at a forum of the school-wide body. The sight of two student government leaders leaving as we entered suddenly made sense–not relishing the prospect […]

After an internal election, Dan Okin has been selected as the new ESC president. Accordingly, at this very moment, he’s getting sloshed with outgoing president Tom Fazzio at The Heights. Salud!

Don’t forget that the SEAS throwdown (a.k.a. E-Board Elections) is 9:15 pm tonight in Lerner’s Satow Room. It’s a poorly kept secret that the SEAS E-Board is a fascist institution. Therefore, the Bwog encourages vocal cries for democracy. Maybe a boycott. Definitely some signs. Oh, CSSN, why did you go defunct right when we needed […]

Bwog reports! Someone decides! The Spec reported earlier today that Adam Goldberg, E’06, founder of Ye Olde Campus Network and former Engineering Student Council President, quit his position as ESC Director of Technology last night at an ominously named “constitutional review session which was closed to the press.” It was unclear why Goldberg resigned. Until […]
