The latest from the world of student government: As part of the push to open more rooms for student use (after the giant disappointment that was the opening of Lerner 6), the four councils have secured space in Broadway and Schapiro for future student group use.  To help determine the best use of the space, […]

If CCSC has its way, Columbia’s Housing system will be slightly less oppressive next year. The council passed a resolution supporting gender-neutral housing last night, which will remove the gender restrction on double occupancy rooms. The plan, introduced by VP for Policy Sarah Weiss, 2011 VP Sean Udell, EAAH President Avi Edelman, and GendeRevolution President […]

Hey, remember that proposed smoking ban? The survey for that ban was originally supposed to be e-mailed to a random sampling of students on Nov. 4, but as you probably have realized by now, nobody’s received it yet. Turns out, it’s a communication thing. CCSC VP for Policy Sarah Weiss tells Bwog the council can’t […]

Another new week, another Bwog CCSC report, this time about gender-neutral housing and just exactly what Dean’s Discipline is: Despite the effective absence of President Sue Yang (who was only present via Gchat video from Boston), CCSC focused most of its meeting on discussion of two major policy initiatives for the year. Yang’s absence did […]

The prolonging of Frontiers, student honor boards, and serving alcohol to freshmen – it’s all in this week’s CCSC report: In typical Yang-era fashion, the meeting opened with a series of brief announcements. VP for Finance Nuriel Moghavem told the council that student groups wishing to use the Black Box Theater have to put various […]

Need some extra caffeine or sugar before you camp out at Butler all night? Be sure to head over to the Lerner Ramps tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., where CCSC is hosting their weekly coffee night. Free coffee and sugary snacks on sloping platforms… what can go wrong?

The second meeting of the year started promptly with the introduction of Bathabile Mthombeni, the Associate Officer of the Ombuds Office.  A little known service, the Ombuds Office, located at 660 Schermerhorn, offers a “confidential, informal, […]

Ah, fall. When the leaves fall and the weather takes a turn for the colder, but not before a select number of first-year college students paper the dorms with posters and broad promises, hoping to sneak enough votes to join student council. So far, CCSC and SGA have released their official candidate lists, and the […]

Around 9pm the Lerner piano lounge will play host to a lot of ice cream, Pepsi, root beer and of course, and lots of eager, ice-cream-scooping student government kids. Though “floating” isn’t the word Bwog would use to describe the transition from freshman to sophomore year, CCSC 2012 certainly has its heart in the right […]

Bwog reports from the first CCSC meeting of the year. Like the first day of class, the first CCSC meeting of the year had little in the way of substance. Instead, just as that first class gives students a chance to see how a teacher will run proceedings, the mostly new CCSC members (only 8 […]

As the class of 2009 departs Columbia, the bright lights of New York will have at least one symbol of their achievements: CCSC has secured the chance for the Empire State Building to be lit up in light blue and white next Wednesday night. According to CCSC President George Krebs, the project was “spearheaded” by CC […]

They motion to vote, we Bwog. Another Sunday evening of CCSC. A sunburned CCSC gathered in Satow last night for their penultimate meeting of the year to discuss the Big Issues: smoking, Manhattanville, meal plans. The meeting started off with a round of applause for, in Kreb’s diplomatic words, “a few of the people in […]

The results are in: Sue Yang is your new CCSC president, and Cliff Massey and Aki Terasaki have won their respective class council races. Massey defeated incumbent president AJ Pascua with 64% of the vote, while running mate Eve Phan won the vice-presidency over current 2010 rep Valerie Sapozhnikova. It was not a clean sweep […]

If The Party Party wins its race against The Clear Party, it won’t be because of disqualification. According to Elections Board President James Bogner, early this morning, the CCSC Elections Board and current CCSC president George Krebs ruled that “there was not sufficient evidence presented by The Party to prove that the Clear Party, ‘encouraged, […]
