BREAKING: CCSC Candidates

voteTonight in the SGO, candidates had to file for positions on the Council. The only big surprise seems to be that Colin Drummond, once thought to be vying for the Exec Board, has decided to challenge Mark Johnson for 2009 Council. In what seems to be one of the least contested campaign seasons in recent memory: 2010 and 2011 councils are entirely uncontested races.

In other election news, the Elections Board should be coming out with an Adil Ahmed decision in the coming hours, Bwog will keep you abreast of the situation.

Full candidate listings after the jump.

is by far one of the most competent individuals at columbia and definitely the most capable of leading the senior class. she's probably only running with mark because he has more council experience and knows more people

you include both krebs and damooei in your "tags" for this post, yet you left off the noble adil for whom you just created a tag. this is the true tragedy--was there some devious motivation on bwog's part?

“I was surprised he took that shot—I thought we were on the same page,” Ahmed said.

This is lame. Adil should admit he made a mistake and move on, not take more swipes against Alidad.

I think the fact that no one is running against the 2010 and 2011 class is a good indicator this is purely shit. Have fun masturbating together of your awesomeness '10 and '11 class councils.

David Zhu is a strategic genius.

By running for the one year position, he is counting on pulling the freshman vote his way as he runs against all those juniors who probably don't know the freshman...... that's bloody brilliant

and apparently krebs-adil made moves to have the elections schedule pushed back to try to get some new blood into ccsc--i smell the works of an alidad-michelle diamond scheme--at least Colin heard about elections

March 7, 2008 at 10:38 AM
actually, alidad was pushing for the elections schedule to be pushed back...... he called up members of the elections board and j-board to complain that this is unfair for outside parties...

plus, the logic of this being a "conspiracy" for alidad is complete nonsense... his competition is george so what would he even gain by having the class council elections uncontested? it sounds like you're falling for the george-adil propoganda...

for the record, it was alidad and glenn thompson who pushed back the elections schedule. i know this because i'm on the committee.

krebs and adil didn't have any say in this.

An Adil Ahmed "decision"? What the fuck, having his personal email posted all over Bwog wasn't enough of a lesson not to write verbosely? Now the elections board has to make a "decision" about it? Seriously? Student council takes itself way too seriously sometimes. Never mind Bwog.
