In which Bwog succumbs to a terrible case of false nostalgia.

Par for the course of other Barnard Townhalls, the lasanga, coffee and white tablecloths came out in full force for tonight's discussion about student activism at Columbia in 1968.

After a brief introduction by two SGA representatives announcing tonight's speakers—Dean of the College Dorothy Denburg, BC '70, and Karla Spurlock-Evans, BC '71—the members of the Townhall were shown an 11 minute video clip. The clip was part of a larger documentary entitled Remembering '68, and featured interviews with a number of Barnard and Columbia professors and students about the spring of said historic year. Bwog would normally, of course, be happy to share with you what interviewees said, but because the documentary-maker—in a curious move indicative of some sort of activist-y universality or sheer forgetfulness—didn't think to provide the names of the people who were speaking as they were on camera.
