Throughout last night's CCSC meeting, scavenged foods drove members to use their appetite as a running motif. Satow Room Bureau Chief Martha Turewicz was there, although not feasting.

There was some in the back of the room left over from the last meeting of the '08 class council: chicken, biscuits, potatoes and gravy. Before the meeting, a tray of marzipan pieces shaped like fruit was passed around; outgoing President Michelle Diamond warned everyone that it contained nuts and was not actually a fruit.

Then Neda Navab mentioned the swim test party coming up in Dodge, at which pizza will be served: "Hopefully they'll eat the pizza after the swim test."

Mark Johnson brought up the anti-Manhattanville protestors who showed up during the Arts Fair. Thankfully, since the students at said fair were grilling hamburgers, the protest was diffused as the gatecrashers eventually lined up to buy them.


Despite an official-ish interview with the Spectator on Saturday night, once-rumored CCSC contender Colin Drummond has decided not to traverse the depths of student council candidacy, according to Drummond camp officials.

A tipster forwarded Bwog editors an email sent at 2:48 AM last night by George Krebs' prospective VP of Policy Adil Ahmed. Apparently, Ahmed had sent an email to various student leaders describing his plan for CCSC: "When a bold vision is combined with concrete plans, I know that we can put aside any doubts and believe in and work together towards a more united, connected, opportunity-filled, and comfortable Columbia." Titillating!

This isn't technically campaigning, because that would be breaking the rules of the CCSC elections' timeline, and Ahmed addresses this issue, explaining: "I am not stumping, and I truly mean what I say." Then again, if saying that "We all have common struggles, but it's beautiful when we fight through them together" isn't stumping, Bwog really isn't sure what is-- though we have heard the email circulated around a limited number of readers.

The email is posted in full after the jump.
