Giant Steps Are What You Take, Walking on the Moon

The young at heart (and the fearless of motion-sickness) take note: There are currently two moon-bounces—one features two basketball hoops and basketballs for competitive gamesmanship—stationed on Low. (There is also a dunking tank for the masochistic.)

The Anti-Iraq War Demonstration Bell is still ringing strong, though its sounds are slightly muffled by the screams of the unlucky who have been fated to splash into the icy waters of the dunking tank. Bwog suggests you head out to Low to get your last bits of fun in before final paper crunch time begins.

Another picture of all the fun you should be having after the jump.


Manhunt!
For those of you who simply cannot wait for Assassins, on October 11th, SEAS is organizing a giant game on Manhunt throughout the entire campus. Registration is online, natch. That should satisfy any competitive blood-lust until spring.

This just in: Plinko Commies

It's their first major activist event of the year and Columbia Dems, in an effort to increase funding for children's healthcare, are taking advantage of the famous Price is Right gag now that Bob Barker has retired. Bwog had newbie reporter Justin Vlasits see the spectacle.

This afternoon at the Sundial, the Dems brought out a crudely constructed Plinko Board and invited students crossing Low Steps to play a butchered version of the game and afterwards call congressmen King and Walsh (both R-NY) to vote for the conference version of the Children's Health Insurance Program.

"Tell Congress to get its priorities straight!"

"Tell Bush that the Price is Wrong!"

"This issue is totally nonpartisan issue," said Jonathan Backer, Media Director for the CU Dems, reminding passers by that the original bill in 1997 was a collaboration between reactionary Utah Senator Orrin Hatch and super-liberal Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy (whom Backer interned for this summer).


Hey, you never know.

lottoticketsAn anonymous tipster reports everyone's favorite FYSAAC adviser Jay Orenduff is giving out Christmas lottery tickets to students who come by to see him.

Maybe you'll strike it big -- the odds are you'll win the jackpot before you get into that senior seminar.


Civilization comes to Mathematics Lawn
Thank God for the Philolexian Society, purveyor of pretension and producer of a nifty new little publication called Surgam, for lifting this den of philistines into the light of high-minded pursuits! A goodly group of young ladies and gents stepped out in their best Victorian finery to take the air this afternoon while engaging in a game of croquet, which Wikipedia tells us was an Olympic sport in 1900.

Quite different, Bwog is confident, from these guys.
