A few items from here, there, and everywhere:
-Columbia’s duPont Broadcast News Awards were announced January 13 and are being presented on campus today. Perhaps predictably, the most awards went to PBS, with NBC the only major network to win an award. What, no love for Katie?
-Columbia medical researchers, working with doctors from B.U. and the University of Toronto, have discovered a gene that has been connected to Alzheimer’s. Congratulate the next med student you see getting a coffee in Strokos.
-And while Maggie Gyllenhall CC ’98 was nominated for a Golden Globe (she lost Monday night to Helen Mirren), her brother Jake (a Columbia dropout) has starred in the latest Saturday Night Live video to make the rounds on the Internet. After seeing this, you might understand the rumor that he was rejected from the Varsity Show.

@YouTube ” This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”
?
@DHI He was rejected from the Varsity Show for a terms of use violation?
@someone tell me why the Bwog is now posting every two minutes with trash?
@I suppose it’s for people like you who check the Bwog every two minutes.
@mais non why would med students go to strokos when the medical school is at 168th and broadway? bad punchline.
also, jake might be a columbia dropout, but he always manages to leave a few free passes on campus…no love lost there
@Huh? They also work at St. Luke’s.
@right good point
@mais non version 2 Why would they work at St. Luke’s??? Those people you see getting coffee are probably residents and doctors of St. Luke’s. sigh wild inaccuracies
@have your ever heard of med students doing clinical rotations? it’s not so far fetched that some 3rd and 4th year med students are working at St. Luke’s – but yes, much more likely they’d be residents.
@i see it happening and please please please do not let this become a string of posts about the varsity show. please.
@Mags They’re both hideous, on par with the rest of the student body
@why was he rejected from the varsity show? because he can actually sing?
@if that's true... at least they fixed that problem this year. there are some incredible voices in the cast and chorus.
