CCSC Combats "Study Day"

You may have been wondering what happened the Wien Food Court, which closed last fall, and which had served juniors with bad lottery numbers greasy Chinese food for many years. It's been revamped to house Columbia's favorite health promotion program, along with Health Services' administrative offices, which moved in last Friday.

You no longer need to wander around Lerner 7 looking for stressballs, condoms or health information. Just stumble on down from your Wien double anytime from 9 and 5, Monday through Friday, and check out the new office, complete with columns, a new coffee machine and yes, free condoms.

aliceIs nothing sacred? Fox News (which one tipster spotted shooting b-roll on campus earlier today) having run through every other permutation of "wild sex" and "Columbia students," decided to take aim at Bwog's favorite site at Columbia and possibly ever: www.goaskalice.com, our source of wisdom on everything from dried fruit to dental dams.

The host and guest sexperts, set against decidedly un-Columbian scenes of scantily clad bodies, gasped over the site's descriptions of bestiality ("people who engage in these activities have very serious mental health issues") and "other things we can't put on the air." Said Unprotected author Dr. Miriam Grossman: "I'm horrified by the site goaskalice.com."

According to one anonymous tipster, Health Services at Columbia is aware of the segment, but hasn't yet issued a statement.

Discoveries of New Burial Plots

For a mere $25,000, you can get buried at Duke. But hurry--already 200 reservations have been made. According to the Chronicle, "the one-and-a-half acre area first opened in response to requests from alumni in the past few decades who wanted to have a final resting place at the University." Pity, Columnia alumi will have to make do with Manhattanville...

Self-Promotion, Health Promotion

As part of their health promotion program, Go Ask Alice! (the friendly Q&A health website that brought you answers about sexy role plays and tattoo guides) is sponsoring a photo contest only a month away. All Columbia students are eligible to send in photos that will be published on the Ask Alice webpage. And that's right kids, you'll get your own photo credit! Deadline: February 23rd.

SIPA, Student Soldiers, and Kitsch

The Morningside Post (Delivering SIPA's Global and Local Enterprise in their very own blog) brings another point of view to the student-soldier debate with a video produced by SIPA students Caroline Bray and Aaron Ernst. Highlights include varied interviews and kitschy classical (juxtaposed to hard rock macho) music. Just another example of Columbia students' talent with video equipment!

Raising The Bar

Abe Handler overheard this in the business school library today afternoon: "I feel like everybody and their dog has 100 million dollars. The question is how to go from like here (gestures to his waist) to like here (gestures to his shoulders)."

It's nice to know that, when our biology makes life difficult, Columbia Health Services is there for us.
