There are lots of names you need to know around Oxford (besides that of your bedfellow the morning after…), so VERSA put together a little quiz to help you out.
A BNOC, for the uninitiated, is a Big Name On Campus, and there are quite a few of them around Oxford. They are mythical creatures, occasionally spotted around the streets of our great city, admired by onlookers, and talked about in hushed tones: the stuff of Oxford legend. A BNOC can come from any of a plethora of circles of Oxford life – politics, sports, drama, OUSU, and, of course, the famed Oxford Union. Keeping up with all these legendary creatures can be a tough task for any Oxonian, so we at VERSA have put together a little quiz to help you get to know them. And who knows, the intrepid amongst you future Oxonians might have designs on finding yourselves on this list one year from now…

5. Question
Barnaby Raine: Why is he famous?
Correct
Well done! Barely a protest goes by without Raine batting down oppression left, right, and centre. (Okay, so mostly on the right). He’s also known for commenting ‘WONGGAAA’ on VERSA articles (though we do have our suspicions it might be an impostor).
Incorrect
Come on. All of those wrong answers are ridiculous. Who would write about shitting on a copy of the OxStu?

Correct! It’s a lot, but Jacob manages to pull it off. We at VERSA can only express our admiration for Jacob’s commitment to achieving BNOC-hood.

VERSA would like to wish our BNOCs the very best in their various escapades this year, and to all the aspiring BNOCs reading this, a warning: here be dragons…

the legend of journalist Zac
is sung loud throughout Oxford by hacks
his once-lauded name
now a badge of sad shame
due to many quite terrible acts
Brilliant if not a back handed ego stroking.
