The Elections Board has released the full list of candidate for CCSC, and the competitive races are few and far between. In fact, only three races are contested this year – 2010 and 2012 class councils, and academic affairs representative. The races for Executive Board, 2011 class council, University Senate, and student services and pre-professional representatives all have just enough candidates to fill the positions.
The race for 2012, though, could provide some entertainment, with five different sets of candidates for president and vice-president. Oh, and one student representative candidate? A Mr. Jose “Stephan” Perez. Perhaps the celebratory swig will become “Pregame LOL!” Full list below, with contested races first.
UPDATE: Cliff Massey’s ticket now includes a third candidate for representative, Lena Fan. According to Massey, “there was an issue with Lena’s registration form” that has since been resolved.

@Mike New voices/great choices . . . . Prasifka and Lynch for 2012 Class Council
@valerie is the white russian. sapozdfhgknkova. hotttt.
@who is the white russian????
@looking good Congratulations to Sue Yang, there is no doubt in my mind she will do an amazing job, and I trust her to have chosen the right teammates. While Cliff has made a decent attempt, I agree with the majority that AJ has brought together the stronger team. Maximo, Valerie, and Joey are definitely experienced and informed with the field. People shouldn’t give Shirley so much shit — the girl is smart and will bring new ideas to the table.
Perhaps with these ppl in charge CCSC will be more successful at fighting the administration’s “war on fun?”
@disgusted whoever wrote the “shirley’s baby” comment should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Comments such as these detract from and sensationalize the extremely serious issue of abortion, which is a difficult choice for anyone who may find themselves faced with it. The comment also clearly exposes a hater who lacks aim and veracity and has chosen instead to shoot out venom arbitrarily along the most dramatic possible avenues. Also, to the idiot, let’s be real, someone who has more than three abortions is likely to need a hysterectomy before they would ever be able to have another. It’s a wonder people like you got into Columbia.
@to yeah, #35 are we sure this person even goes to columbia? who the hell spells their as “there” anymore? We’re in COLLEGE. If you are going to insult someone in such a low brow sort of way, at least SPELL correctly. sheesh. It’s funnier because you suck at spelling at an ivy league institution.
@uh so, sue yang is next study body president? she is running unopposed?
@yea, so sue was looking mighty smug the other day. let’s make sure to hold her accountable. just because she is unopposed doesn’t mean she’s without equal or superior in this arena. Having “fresh” CCSC members could become a synonym for inexperience and disaster.
@The real question is how could you possibly think that this is an appropriate joke in any context?
@2011 but I wish I were 2012 so I could vote for Aki Terasaki!
@sarah go evelyn go evelyn!!
@joey is awesome!!
@AJ'S party is sooooo much better than Cliff’s, it’s just a refection of their personality.
@power play congratulations to aj pascua. does anyone even know the people in cliff’s party?
@Complainers... For all the people complaining about a lack of candidates… if you’re not running yourselves you really have no right to complain
@Senior I’m a senior, and I’m embarrassed by the lack of candidates.
@Agree personally, i didn’t want to run for anything. but for all the people whining, why didn’t you run? i mean, the whole thing was printed in the spec, i got an email about running, and there was a website too.
if you’re hating the situation, you had the chance to change it, but you didn’t.
@Jesus The lack of candidates for student body president reflects really badly on the college.
@that's cute the class of 2012 cares!
@jaded I am more apathetic about CCSC than most things at Columbia which don’t concern me. But, you know, good that they throw dances and have free food around campus, sometimes. I’m sure the hours of stress and diversion studies is measurably worth the marginal utility in a resume or the pleasure at having a position/minor celebrity on campus.
@varun CUE represent! :) shoutout to 3/5 of the e-board for keeping our presence strong. next year is gonna rock!
@congrats to white russian
@hmm white russian is delicious
@Anonymous DAVID LYNCH FOR 2012 VP!!! HE WILL FILL COLUMBIA WITH MIDGETS TALKING BACKWARDS AND SURREAL LESBIAN SEX!!!
@yeah I friended that kid on facebook with the same hopes. its a no go.
@Alexandra Coromilas Coromilas is a cutie. too bad i’m 09 and couldn’t care less.
@say what you will about CCSC, but the USenate is really important. it is very sad that there aren’t even a handful of students interested in directly affecting university policy, and that the seats are just going to be given to these randos.
then again, we had a choice last year and chose monica…maybe this scheme will work just as well!
@hey now alex frouman is a good kid
@moar spelling Asher, not Ashar
@spelling It’s Priyanka Gumaste. and Ruqayyah Abdul-Karim
and also, is cliff not running with a third rep?
@... Cliff’s third rep is Lena Fan. Bwog just isn’t big on proofreading.
@wow. that sux for cliff.
@Fan of Phan Spell check be damned…
Evelyn Phan is a sweetheart with a good head on her shoulders and her stylish shod feet on the ground
Miss Phan is just another reason to cote for Cliff
@Bollinger You have to be kidding about this girl, I personally regret that we ever let her into Columbia
@finally someone speaks truth to power. Down with Phan! I met her at a Hillel meeting once…
@James This is the official list we received from the Elections Board. Any complaints about correct or incorrect listings should be directed at them.
@wow even the SENATE race is not contested?
columbia students should be embarrassed.
