restroomFor those still pondering how to make it public, Spec suggests communication!

Unveiled: the next tourist trap will be the George Washington Memorial...Lavatory?

ESC Candidates make their platforms public so that you can't vote for them.

Next year, a large particle accelerator will be made public and according to a Princeton professor, "might make dragons that might eat us up."

Jagger enlightens us on the differences between IMAX and other movie formats, "It'd be very larger."


Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Tony Gong stayed up all hours to report on the biggest night of the ESC calendar year, with the possible exception of Mole Day.


After seven grueling hours, twelve speeches, and far too many handfuls of complimentary grapes and cheese, ESC finally finished up electing next year's Executive Board last night, while everyone I have ever known in my life was sleeping—barring my grandma in China. (What's up Grandma?)


The winners and their opponents are as follows:


President: Peter Valeiras '09

(vs. Prish Dunstan '09)

VP Student Life: Huei Ong '09

(vs. Angela Blackwell '11, Daniel Gundrum '10, Esther Zuckerman '09)

VP Intergroup: Lauren Minces '09 (vs. Gunnar Aasen '10, Krissie Zambrano '09)

VP Policy: Prish Dunstan '09 (vs. Boris Mindzak '09, Ken Yearwood '09)

Secretary: Whitney Green '10 (vs. Jiaying Xu '11)


Update: ESC Constitutional Review is underway! An ardent and opinionated public of record numbers (four people) was just turned away from the meeting as the ESC enforced its closed doors policy. Junior Class Representative Samantha John vocalized an appeal to overlook the closed doors policy for the discussion on internal elections, which she viewed as "pertinent to the student body, not just the council." Liz Strauss reminded us decisively that under constitutional law, she had no authority to make a meeting open, only to make it closed. There is drama in the Satow Room tonight.

Intrepid ESC Correspondent Tony Gong inquires into the mysteries of flyer-less class council elections.


In case you haven't heard enough about politics lately, the annual debate over the Engineering Student Council executive board process, an internal system by which the council elects itself, has been rekindled in light of ESC's ongoing constitutional review. But this time, people are angry. And writing articles.

The issue became active again last Friday, with a comprehensive opinion piece against internal elections. But it didn't end there — three ESC members dramatically countered with their equally lengthy defense of internal elections, which printed in the same issue of Spec. Overall, engineers wrote more in a day than they had in six years, so everyone took the weekend off and did some math.
