In the lower-left corner of the photo on the second page of Obama’s 1983 Columbia paper ‘Breaking the War Mentality’, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are CLEARLY seen.

The guy with the Glasses and the woman with the backpack? I wonder if the New York Times still has the original photograph and if a copy could be gotten away from them?

Yes, the older guy and woman with the backpack are almost certainly Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers was going to school across the street from Columbia (and Obama) in 1983.
