In a landslide victory, Caroline Elkin &#8217;15 was elected President of the club with 4,132 student votes. Voters also chose Mackenzie King &#8217;15 for the position of Vice President; King received 100% of the votes for her position after an inspired speech to her constituents. Moments later, in a scandal that rocked the HUB, Eli Blumenthal &#8217;14 was elected Secretary as a write-in candidate, receiving 130% of Russian Department votes. His competitors did not show up to the election, deciding instead to go to Quiznos. 3-year old Ksiusha was elected Treasurer in a decision that blurred the boundaries of the Russian Club constitution. A conference call later that evening with the YMCA Day Care Center would confirm that Ksiusha regretfully declined the nomination, stating that the club meetings would interfere with her nap schedule. &#8220;Besides, I can only count to 12,&#8221; she added. The position of Treasurer remains open. After the elections, students and faculty marched with signs and slogans expressing their feelings on the election process and results.\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-484 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/2012-02-21_17-28-04_217.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/2012-02-21_17-28-04_217-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2664.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2664-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2663.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2663-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2660.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2660-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2652.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2652-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2655.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/IMG_2655-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/Thumbnail.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/11\/Thumbnail-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Thumbnail\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-454\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-454'>\n\t\t\t\tcampaign headquarters\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Record turnouts were reported at the polls on Tuesday for the 21 February 2012 Russian Club elections.
