Comments on: A Dying Art(s) http://bwog.com/2012/10/21/a-dying-arts/ It's Bwog, not BWOG Sat, 25 May 2013 02:11:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: An Advocate of the Arts Initiative http://bwog.com/2012/10/21/a-dying-arts/#comment-486935 An Advocate of the Arts Initiative Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:45:31 +0000 http://bwog.com/?p=98990#comment-486935 There’s new information here that is not in Spec’s coverage. Spec does breaking news, and Bwog does long-form analysis, and shorter news items and is more pointedly skeptical towards the administration’s line in a way that Spec news reporters can’t. It’s been that way since 2007.

We loved you because you were you, bwog! Don’t try to be Spec, after all, spec already is spec and we don’t need another (especially a smaller, less effective copy).

It’s definitely an important issue, but as a reader, I’m disappointed to come to Bwog and find these warmed-over casseroles of old Spec articles. Either cover different issues, or cover them in a different way–a way that only YOU, Bwog, can. Find your comparative advantage and stick to it.

Smey is a great director of Miller Theatre–but that’s a full-time job. Why is she also expected to run a program that used to have a whole staff dedicated to it? Bad form, Columbia. :(

The point of this entire article is that shitty admins who don’t care about undergrads are the fundamental problem. The only solution is to organize the student body and force them to pay attention to us. If we can get them to realize that undergrads aren’t just a bunch of apathetic kids who will sit by while they screw us over, I guarantee you they will find the money to support the programs we care about.
