...distinctions between the candidates are too blurry, their ideas too hazy or unrealistic, to justify a concrete Crimson endorsement. Even after weeks of Crimson coverage, it is hard to see just how any of the candidates plans to build a student center, take back Agassiz Theater or get more student involvement in University policy-making. We encourage you to vote--to downsize the council to streamline its inefficent proceedings and to raise the term bill to afford the council more concrete opportunities but also to consider how your favorite candidate will get his or her ideas accomplished before you exit...

Performance space is also at a premium. Within a few years, there is a possibility that the Agassiz theatre will no longer give preference to undergraduate performances. Losing the Agassiz will only worsen the lack of space on campus. If groups are going to survive and continue producing events, the space problem must be solved...
