Polls open today. You have till 5pm, September 21st to exercise your democratic duty. Remember to brush up on the many parties running for student office and take a look at how they fit into Columbia’s lovely bureaucracy. Results will be sent out by email and published online the evening of September 21st. Vote Here!
Update:In order to spare the candidates from punitive action by the Elections Board, we’ve removed their videos.
As per usual, this round of student elections has spawned its fair share of semi cringe-worthy videos and flyers. Here is a sample of memorable examples that have come our way:
Meet Justin Yang, CC 2013:
It might not be the next “EC, Heights, or Campo?,” but CC Crown put together this strangely hypnotic music video in which they promise to protect the College in face of the Faculty of the Arts and Sciences:

@anonymous the above comment was to the user name “plus”
@Anonymous Is startling to enter an amazing place like Columbia and seeing you post things I would expect from a 7th grader. Before you post a comment like that again, please have some consideration to the institution we are in and how juvenile you seem to be. It is comforting to know that you aren’t representative of the population here at Columbia so please stop being immature. I’m saying \please\ because that may appeal more to your level of comprehension.
@Anonymous welcome to bwog comments
@Anonymous In light of the contaminated water debacle today, free (clean) water might actually be of use. What has the TMNT club been doing in our sewers recently?
@Anonymous the guy from the halal cart reminds me of mario….as in the video game one
@Note to Bwog You should probably take this down because its after moratorium and you could get all three of these groups disqualified as this is a fundamentally unfair disadvantage to other candidates especially with the voting link right above.
@note to elections board screw you
@lol How is this campaigning for the groups? This is Bwog posting funny videos. And if they get kicked out, they get kicked out and maybe those stupid rules will be reconsidered. Fuck those bullshit rules.
@Anonymous Crown, unlike other people who choose to not actually look into issues, you guys really seem to be genuinely interested in the student life at Columbia. It is nice to see that a party is actually taking this seriously and at the end of the day, CCSC isn’t about “ice-cream” socials, it’s about selecting a group of students who have practical and realistic goals to make our lives better. You have truly earned my vote.
@cc '13 you have no idea what you’re talking about
@cc13 but that’s understandable.
@Anonymous nice try, Crown.
@hahahahahahaha Oh hey, Crown.
@upperclassman uh, yeah, no. props for the idealism, but you really have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Anonymous go Gesiye!
@CROWN, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU’RE ORGANIZING ICE CREAM SOCIALS, NOT SAVING THE WORLD.
@Anonymous crown’s kinda freaky.
justin’s vid was funny
@Anonymous and slightly cringe worthy. In a college as apathetic to student government as columbia it’s nice to see he has some enthusiasm.
@Anonymous THEY WILL CHANT FOR ANYTHING. CHANTING IS THE KEY TO WORLD DOMINATION.
@Crown is so freakin gay.... Not voting for them for sure…
@Anonymous way to be homophobic dude
@My vote goes to..... hell ya JY….
@Justin Yang is so cutttte hell yeah justin yang!
@Anonymous why doesn’t anybody think i’m cute? :(
@Anonymous “Keep the college king”? That slightly sickens me. The reason this university is awesome is because there are so many different schools/colleges……what about seas? grad programs? gs? barnard? tc?……..sorry guys, but its not all about cc
@CC Crown song Worst thing since Rebecca Black…
@plus I would totally insert my meat into the white chick in the black.
@Alum Acutally, the brunette bears a striking resemblance to Rebecca Black… but the Katy Perry-fied “TGIF” version so it’s all good!
