The Columbia Political Union executive committee is happy to endorse
We interviewed the two groups running for the CCSC executive board this week and found The PULSE party to be more qualified than the Mosaic ticket, more experienced in the nuance of student governance, and more knowledgeable about Columbia's administration.The PULSE party for Columbia College Student Council. The PULSE party has concrete plans to backup its rhetoric about fostering campus life, as well as the administrative connections to enact real change. Equally important, its members have long been engaged in the campus political dialogue that the Political Union strives to promote. ELECT THE PULSE for Columbia College Student Council on TODAY on Low Steps. Rohit Dixit for President Jonathan "YoNo" Reich for VP Policy Somi Lee for VP Funding Zac Frank for VP Campus Life Beth Katz for Secretary http://www.vote4pulse.com
