BMOC May Be Canceled, Leaving A Sad Campus Full of Normal-Sized Men

Contestant Stephen Delp, a Nursing senior, and Emcee Caroline Canty, Nursing senior, dance at the Big Man On Campus event at Club Egypt. The event, hosted by Alpha Chi Omega, raised money for the "Women Against Abuse" charity.

So you've probably heard the totally lame-o news that BMOC-- shorthand for AXO's popular annual philanthropy event, Big Man on Campus--is on the verge of being cancelled, which would make its record 2 for 4 over the years that seniors have been at Penn.  Maybe you've even joined the SAVE BMOC group on Facebook, which points out that each year the event raises thousands of dollars to support victims of domestic violence.  But have you stopped to consider that a lack of BMOC would leave our campus, like a fish without a bicycle,  sadly BMOC-less?  The chair of the UA and the president of the senior class serve as our elected leaders, but he who is BMOC is our unofficial spiritual guide.  How will Street editors know who to put in Cultural Elite?  Will the role instead fall to the Big Asian on Campus?  And then who will fulfill the duties of the big Asian--Mr. and/or Ms. Penn?  We truly fear that BMOC's cancellation could result in a social power vacuum.  Hey, Ron Daniels, if you agree to stay, we'll let you be BMOC!

We hear that a decision on BMOC's fate will be made tomorrow morning.  We're crossing our fingers.
