Learned Foote
Learned Foote CC '11 is the incoming student body president of Columbia College. He was previously president of the Class of 2011.
He is also an unabashed supporter of bringing ROTC back on campus, despite the fact that he is gay and feels that the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is discriminatory. He argues that the university has a responsibility to reengage with a "fundamental American institution", particularly because it receives federal tax money.
Coincidentally, one of the best-known US judges of the 20th century was the very similarly-named Learned Hand, and young Foote appears destined for a career of public service as well. Hmm...
