Elections are everywhere this time of year (ESC, such as they are, from April 1st – 3rd, and the Dems on the 11th), and a few hours ago representatives from SGB’s 60+ groups met to choose new leaders, welcome new groups, kick out a few others, and overhaul their constitution. Highlights from the Spring Town Hall after the jump.

In:

Camp Kesem, which runs a camp for kids whose parents are suffering from (often terminal) cancer.

Columbia Coalition Against the War, which organized that big protest a few weeks ago.

Columbia Students for International Service, which sends people overseas to serve other people.

Double Discovery Students Organization, which works with disadvantaged students from the neighborhood.

FeelGood CU, which sells grilled cheese sandwiches here to end hunger in the third world.

Lucha, which doesn’t like the military.

The International Socialist Organization, which doesn’t like capitalism, and is switching over from ABC to SGB.

Groups Out (well, just moving to ABC):

Hong Kong Students and Scholars Society and Columbia Iranian Students Association
