Bacchanal Committee is the name of the club that organizes [[Bacchanal]]. It was formerly called Columbia Special Events before a name change under administrative pressure to avoid confusion with university-wide official events. The club is recognized by [[ABC]], despite fulfilling a role traditionally fulfilled by [[student government|student councils]] at other schools. It is by far the largest group by allocation within ABC. Today it is a fast-growing student group whose announcement of the Spring Concert artists is eagerly anticipated.

At the beginning of [[2008]], [[Columbia Concerts]], the planner of the [[Concert on the Steps]], was officially incorporated into Bacchanal.

Both Columbia Special Events and Columbia Concerts trace their origin back to the Ferris Booth Hall [[Board of Managers]], which in its later years served as a college-wide programming board.

== History ==
* In [[2008]], the theme of Bacchanal was BacchanALIENS, like ''Bacchanalians'', get it?
* In [[2013]], Bacchanal and [[Bwog]] got into a pissing match. To be brief, Bwog posted a rumor that it the Spring Concert headliner would be Macklemore, and Bacch. got mad. Then Bacch. said it wouldn't be. Then Bacch. released the news that it would be to [[Spec]]. And President [[Kay Sorin]] sent a mean email to a [[B&W]] [[first-year]].
*In [[2016]], there was an artist leak to [[Bwog]] and [[Spec]] from an unknown source which led to the reveal of the line-up.

Bacchanal

2017-02-04T20:41:26Z

Nza-Ari Khepra:

'''Bacchanal''' is a student-run organization under [[Activities Board at Columbia|ABC]] that plans a variety of events, including Columbia's premiere annual spring festival, [[Concert on the Steps]], among other projects like carnivals, parties and more. It is organized by [[Bacchanal Events]].

The spring concert is a free concert on the steps of Low open to undergraduate Columbia ticket-holders. Its aim is to increase school spirit and release some of the students' stress before the end of the year exams. Past performers include: Macklemore, Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West, and Bob Saget. Before new restrictions placed in 2015, the spring concert was preceded by a week-long series of fun activities, such as a spring bbq, inviting food trucks onto college walk, and a public movie screenings on 4/20. The food trucks still make an appearance. Past themes have included 'Baccha90s', 'Abacchalypse', and 'Chewbacchanal'.

Past events Bacchanal has organized include the Fall Concert, a more intimate and smaller dance party hosted in Lerner Party Space, and Lowlapalooza, a day long music festival showcasing Columbia musicians in association with CU Records. Previous artists for the fall concert include Micky Avalon.

To raise revenue, Bacchanal sells an assortment of merchandise in weeks leading up to the spring concert.

Reclining Figure

2016-07-21T14:02:31Z

Nza-Ari Khepra:

In the Spring of 2016, it was announced on a Columbia blog that the sculpture "Reclining Figure," a sculpture by [[Henry Moore]], would be installed in front of Butler Library. It’s 9-by-11-by-7 feet, and looks like a tarantula lovingly honey-glazed by a team of trained rhesus monkeys.

A group of students, including editors emeriti of the Blue and White, [[Daniel Stone]] and [[Hallie Nell Swanson]], and sailing aficionado Alex Randall, immediately staged a protest against the installation of the statue on the grounds that the student body hadn’t had prior warning (and against the general aesthetics of the thing). They promptly launched Following this, CCSC released a petition to the entire study body asking students their thoughts on the statue, to which 859 students responded; 57.8% preferred it to be placed elsewhere on campus, 32.5% didn’t want the sculpture on campus at all, and only 9.7% wanted to keep the sculpture in its original intended location.

The sculpture debacle sparked a flurry of op-eds both for and against the sculpture. The debate was full of both sound and fury.

It was rumored that soon after this grassroots uprising (it is said that if Dan Stone had not gone to the obscure Columbia blogs page in the first place, students would still not know of the statue’s impending arrival), the Trustees halted installation and are planning to place it elsewhere. Only time will tell.

Bollinger's remarks surrounding the installation of the statue at a University Senate meeting in which he assumes responsibility for the installation:

''I want to say something about the Henry Moore sculpture. So this is a mistake. And I don’t mean a mistake in the actual outcome, I mean a mistake in the way the institution has functioned. It’s nobody’s fault except mine because my responsibility is everything, especially those things that don’t go right. I would describe this as a classic – and I don’t mean this to be derogative of anybody – but a classic kind of bureaucratic mistake, that is, everybody around the institution thinking they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing, doing it in good faith and with enthusiasm, and we end up in a result where there has not been a sufficient collective thought process here and a decision making process that we are comfortable with.So we put this on pause. We will have that process more and will figure out the right result. So it’s my responsibility. It is just the institution, one case I know of, tried never to let this happen, but somehow it happened and that’s where we are. I’ll take questions in just a minute. Let me come back on this rather than take time today. I have to leave at two o’clock, I have a plane and we have a number of things. But I’ll try to give more on this in time. I just want to acknowledge that this is not the way – good faith, again, everybody acted well. A result that wasn’t sufficiently vetted through the University. I promise not to put up the Henry Moore sculpture during the summer while you’re all away. So summer powers does not include resolving this.''

As of July 20th, 2016 photos indicate the space where the Moore sculpture was set to be installed has been covered over with grass.

Nza-Ari Khepra:

'''Columbia University (No Budget) Sketch Show (CUSS)''' is Columbia's first video sketch comedy club. CUSS was founded in 2014 by Anna Hotter (CC '16) and Michael Rodriguez (CC '16) following their work with video production for [[Bwog]] the previous year. The group quickly gained notoriety amongst people in CUSS as new videos were posted every Sunday night on [[Bwog]]. Notable sketches included One Suite More, Catfish IN BUTLER, and Drunk HERstory.

The group became abruptly disaffiliated with Bwog at the end of Spring 2015, causing speculation on [[Boredatbutler]] as to why the relationship was severed. CUSS continues to produce content and uploads their videos to YouTube, and has the privilege of having the most talented people on campus.

'''APAHM''', or '''Asian Pacific American Heritage Month''', is an annual series of events taking place in the month of April to celebrate and promote Asian American and Pacific Island culture. The series was known as Asian Pacific American Awareness Month (APAAM) until 2011, when the name was changed.

Barnard College and Columbia University APAHM is organized by a committee that dedicates itself to organizing a wide range of programs for the
month of April. The goal is to bring broader awareness of the Asian
American/ APIA community and its rich history to campus. During that month, APAHM celebrates the culture, investigates the
issues, and showcases the talents of Asian Pacific Islander Americans within and beyond the Columbia community. Every April, APAHM organizes and cosponsors up to a dozen events and presents a calendar of events for the month.

The first event of the month, which usually takes place on the first weekend of April, is called '''APAHM Opening Ceremony'''. The exciting event brings in a keynote speaker--usually an influential Asian/Pacific Islander American in the community--and showcases student group talent along with a free dinner for all attendees.

The monthly events following Opening Ceremony are broad in content, ranging from concerts to interactive panels to poetry slams to film screenings to social galas. Beginning in 2015, APAHM has also created its own self-published Zine every April (Issue 1: Rice Paper, Issue 2: Compass). Previous events have covered topics such as Asians in Comics, Asian American Cuisine, Lantern Festivals, and more!

==APAHM Board==
* Composed of an Executive Board and Event Chairs, each of whom takes charge of their own event.

Shreyas Manohar

2016-04-29T01:42:15Z

Nza-Ari Khepra:

Shreyas Manohar is one of the most well-known and beloved figures amongst people on campus whose name is Shreyas.

He is in the cast of The 122nd Annual Varsity show, and one of the rare people who got in despite of not being able to sing. He does a lot of theatre and performing arts on campus. He started hosting Stand-up comedy shows featuring many campus comedy personalities often at Postscrypt. During the first show, they apparently had to change rooms and perform in the choir room because of too many attendees. Recently, he made a video with Deantini which went viral in the Columbia community. How he got Deantini to do all the stuff he did remains unknown as of now. Shreyas is also a major literary personality on campus, known not only for his writing but also for the way he reads his work at literary events. He is rumored to be formerly involved with a secret society on campus. He is from Mumbai, India.

CUSS

2016-04-29T01:35:53Z

Nza-Ari Khepra:

'''Columbia University (No Budget) Sketch Show (CUSS)''' is Columbia's first video sketch comedy club. CUSS was founded in 2014 by Anna Hotter (CC '16) and Michael Rodriguez (CC '16) following their work with video production for [[Bwog]] the previous year. The group quickly gained notoriety amongst people in CUSS as new videos were posted every Sunday night on [[Bwog]]. Notable sketches included One Suite More, Catfish IN BUTLER, and Drunk HERstory.

The group became abruptly disaffiliated with Bwog at the end of Spring 2015, causing speculation on [[Boredatbutler]] as to why the relationship was severed. CUSS continues to produce content and uploads their videos to YouTube.
