...this reason that we endorse Lee for president and Fernandez for vice president of the council. They have the combined experience to make sure the council retains its role as an organization that helps students. They have worked well together on the council in the past and have said that they build off one another in their enthusiasm. And Lee and Fernandez have a clear set of principles backed up by specific proposals...
...Fernandez have proposed, among other ideas, to make the College “smarter” by requiring better training for teaching fellows and pushing for an “ethnic studies” certificate. They have also said the council should not be a partisan organization, signaling that the times when the council would take stands on national and international issues that have little bearing on student life are over.

There can be no doubt that the lion’s share of the credit for this past year’s successes goes to the indefatigable Gusmorino, the council president whose jolly demeanor and exceptional work ethic have made the council a real force...
Last year, we endorsed Gusmorino wholeheartedly for the presidency. This year, we endorse the candidates with several reservations. Neither Lee nor Fernandez have demonstrated the drive or charisma that has characterized the council’s current leadership. The council has little power of its own, and many of its accomplishments this year have been achieved through the close relationships that Gusmorino has forged with the administration. Lee has not yet demonstrated Gusmorino’s talent and experience in working with the College. Lee also has more on her plate. She is a prefect, a member of the Seneca...
