On the night of the filing deadline, Sue Yang’s “Action Potential Party” has announced their ticket. The other nominees:
- VP for Policy: Sarah Weiss, CC ’10, head of Columbia Urban Experience, former Hillel board member, and a member of the search committee that selected Michele Moody-Adams
- VP for Communications: Sana Khalid, SGB rep, Intergroup Chair in Ahimsa, Project Health Mentor, MSA Events Coordinator, CC ’11
- VP for Funding: Nuriel Moghavem, CC ’11, CIRCA treasurer, COHOP coordinator, ABC rep-at-large
- VP for Campus Life: Deysy Ordonez, CC ’10, President of Sabor, Treasurer of Student Organization of Latinos, and Secretary of Organization of Pakistani Students, and treasurer of CU Bellydance
As for the laptop in the middle – that’s Weiss by webcam, as she’s in Ecuador this semester. Let’s just hope this action potential has no refractory period.
UPDATE (9:53 PM): Yang’s ticket is running unopposed, as is Learned Foote’s ticket for 2011 class council. Of the council races, A.J. Pascua will run against Cliff Massey (the rumored Molina-Clark ticket did not materialize), while two new tickets will duke it out for 2012 rep: Access Columbia (Aki Terasaki for president, Sarah Chai for vice-president, and Jasmine Senior, Kenny Durell, and Brandon Christophe for class rep) and the Papageorge Party (Anthony Arias for president, Theo Papageorge for vice president, and Jiwoo Lee and Evan Johnston for class reps). A full list of all the candidates will be released later tonight.

@there is nothing so great as sarah weiss
@... except perhaps nuriel
@won't vote because that would dignify ccsc … but seriously why the vitrolent hatred for aj? he cannot possibly have wronged all of you and really, everyone at this school is a resume-padder who cares if somebody’s vehicle for it is ccsc? I can think of much worse
@If only you’ve seen this guy’s REAL face… trust me, ANYONE is better than him.
@Whatever you do... …don’t vote for AJ. I’d rather see W Bush get elected before that prick.
@Cliff sleeps around and doesn’t know how to get things done. while AJ is wonderful and the nicest person ever.
@Cllff will win
deserves to win
will get shit done.
hands down.
@deysy ordonez... is the SHIT! gooo deysy!!!!
@dear god the papageorge party would be a disaster.
perpetually stoned ’12s?
@ahaha the papageorge party should win
@AJ Pascua is a tool. He’s like the Alidad Damooei of his year. Don’t vote for him.
@2010 sue and cliff both work really hard and have genuine interest in the columbia community.
i have worked with learned, sue, aj and cliff many, many times. learned is a jerk, takes himself far too seriously and seems eternally self-conflicted.
sue works incredibly hard with almost no recognition of that work, while aj takes the credit. aj is a nice person, but he’s a horrible leader, and without sue, would have crashed and burned almost instantly.
cliff is also a hard worker, has genuine interest in columbia and i think of all of them seems the least interest in resume padding.
i’m just happy to be 2010 and to not have to deal with the foote.
@hold on one sec …we should be focusing more on how cool sana is!
@iheartsana AGREED!
@Yay Action potential party is amazing. I cant think of a better group of people to be on student council. Yay!
@Cliff is the man AJ and sue yang are both wall st. bound pricks…
@want to know when will the other candidates be announced????????????? the elections website hasn’t been updated either, wth!
@CCSC 09 Sue Yang is the most competant person that will be left on council. Hands down.
Nuriel has only been on ABC for a semester, he’s been in CIRCA for two years and COOP since orientation. Those are two organizations that cover a lot of ground on this campus and don’t require bending to the whims of admins.
@I hate Sue Yang What a total bitch. Enjoy your CCSC council guys.
@um.... when will the rest of the candidates be announced??
@YAY!! Sarah Weiss is the absolute best!!! I might actually read an email next year from ccsc…probably not…but might.
@cliff massey? on what planet is this person cool?
i’ve never met a more insensitive, unsensible personality.
@ummmm planet earth. he’s cool on planet earth. why? what planet are you from?
@Puppet Cliff has a lot of experience. He was in the campus life committee which organizes all of the CCSC events so he knows a thing or two about event planning. And he is involved in ABC.
AJ is a nice guy but he has been nothing more than a pretty puppet for Sue the last two years. It will be a disaster to have him running the class council alone. He needs somebody to pull his strings along.
Cliff is the man for the job.
@ugh im really not down for learned foote again.
@AJ is a good guy, and he really does a lot for his class council. Having worked with him, I find him to be an overall genuine, caring, and smart guy. I don’t know what he did to all of the negative bloggers here, but I think AJ is great.
As for Cliff, am I the only one who thinks that this guy is a douche? Granted I’ve only met him twice, but talk about self-important…
@agree cliff massey is a horrible person with no personality.
sue yang and sarah weiss, on the other hand, are both amazing girls. Go CUE!
@Cliff Massey is a lot of things. But you can’t say he has no personality.
And he will win.
@Black Columbian WHERE ARE THE BLACK PEOPLE ON THIS TICKET!?!?
@Green Columbian WHERE ARE THE GREEN PEOPLE ON THIS TICKET!?!?!
Stop playing identity politics, and stop typing in CAPS.
@OMG Juniors DO NOT reelect AJ, he is a disgrace to CC
@Vote for Cliff Cliff gets things done.
@... sue’s ticket has one ABC person on it and one SGB person on it. not really “abc-heavy.”
@class council too
@2010 cliff is the obvious choice…don’t screw this up juniors!
@Haha AJ is a self-centered incompetent prick. GO CLIFF!!
@the problem with an ABC-heavy class and school council is that ABC people, as motivated as they are, have been forced to work with and around SDA & Robert Taylor. Unfortunately, for the long-term happiness of Columbia students and to end the war on fun, ultimately Taylor and his style of management have just got to go. You need people who will stand up to the guy and not be afraid to tell Kev-Sho that he does not deserve to be in his position.
@Cliff is the rare individual that you actually WANT running things.
Go Cliff!!!
@Senior Wait, they are running unopposed for CCSC? Do I understand that correctly?
So basically the College as a whole is just acknowledging that student council is a total joke by not even bothering to field more than one ticket? There’s not even a choice? I mean, I get it when people run unopposed for one of the minor races, but for student body president to not even attract more than one candidate…that’s just sad.
@cliff is so much more genuine than AJ. AJ gives off thsi air of self-importance
@learning curve cliff would have none. he’s crazy involved as it is and is one of the best ABC board members that there are.
@with all due respect AJ w/out Sue…can’t imagine that he’d get much more done than Cliff would — which is basically to say that in my mind, they’re equal.
The AP ticket sounds pretty phenomenal. Sue is incredible. I’m pretty sure any “resume padding” pay-off one gets from class/school council is NOT commensurate to the time, energy, and non-work work you end up doing…
@Isaac Go Deysey!!!
@Yeah Go AJ not Cliff woooooooooooo
@I'm sorry AJ has been class president for the past 2 years, Cliff has no class council experience so it’s pretty obvious why he is running and there’s no point in having him as president when we have AJ, an experienced president, is running again who knows what the eff he is doing. Senior events are the most important, why trust someone who is going to have a severe learning curve???
@you are the reason why george bush was reelected. why wait for a disaster when you can avoid it?
@sarah weiss is one of the most amazing people i’ve met at columbia. hooray.
@I really don’t understand who actually votes for AJ. Besides the posse of asian girls that follow him around everywhere, it seems like nobody actually likes him. Cliff on the other hand, has supporters from across the spectrum.
@cliff
@cliff 2 that was “heart cliff!!”
@Wheee GO SUE, GO!
@progress de-stress, undress, vote access!
AKITO= hero, maestro, pharaoh
no veto, only tempo!
@xc08 Here’s a thought Kenny, focus on your running and you wouldn’t suck so bad
@:DD YAY aki!!
@what's wrong with people trying to pad their resumes? For some people, they have other goals for which they need to be involved in a lot of things. You shouldn’t hate someone just because they are trying to improve their resume.
Its not like resume padders don’t care about their school or that people that really care about the school don’t want to improve their resume…
@yayyy go cliff go cliff!!!
@despite the misspelling the neuroscience joke made me smile.
@Sue Shu Yang DO NOT VOTE FOR SUE YANG OR AJ GUINAN PASCUA, OPPORTUNISTIC RESUME PADDERS THE BOTH OF THEM
@well Guinan is a character on Star Trek, not AJ’s middle name.
@Come on.. If you took the time to get to know Sue at all, you would see that she actually cares about everything she does.
@... refRactory period!
@bwog! what about the other people who filed? where’s their info? not everything is the e-board ticket!
@AH! CUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@Action Potential Party Sounds like a freshman SEAS ticket.
@CCSC this team is AMAZING!! The only one I don’t know is VP Campus life, but everyone else is EXTREMELY Competent and committed, way to go!
@owais rasool WOHOOO GO SANA
@sana's lover sana is such a doll! she’s absolutely amazing and wonderfully dedicated.
