Presidential Candidate Matthew J. Glazer ’06 and running-mate Clay T. Capp ’06 repeatedly emphasized their previous experience working on the Council...
...one—short of current Council President Matthew W. Mahan ’05—has shown more dedication, determination and expertise in navigating the maze of Harvard’s administrative bureaucracy on behalf of the student body than Matt Glazer. Through relentless—and often thankless—advocacy efforts, Glazer successfully negotiated for the installation of blue-light emergency phones in Cambridge Commons. He managed the monumental feat of convincing the administration to embrace 24-hour Universal Keycard Access in undergraduate Houses—a perennial item on council campaign platforms of years past...
...fair, Glazer had the advantage of serving the past year in a leadership role of unique importance and influence as chair of the council’s Student Affairs Committee. Three of the last four council presidents previously held this office. Some members of the council have bemoaned this trend and the culture of loyalty and political favoritism it engenders. We worry that the structure of the council feeds its insularity and stifles the potential for reform. Tracy “Ty” Moore II ’06, a non-council candidate, is an attractive choice for this...
...makes him an appealing asset for the future of the council. In his position as vice-chair of the Finance Committee, Nichols has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to working with individual student groups to help them understand the resources that the council offers.

Despite the fact that they are not officially running together, council elections allow students to vote separately for president and vice president...
Unlike the current Mahan-Blickstead administration which has been criticized for its sometimes unilateral approach to decision-making, its lack of transparency and its history of alienating some council members, we believe Glazer and Nichols would be able to unite all 51 members of the council to create a more inclusive—and ultimately more effective—administration. We wholeheartedly urge students to cast their ballots this week for the perhaps unexpected pairing of Glazer and Nichols. Their proven leadership, dedication, strong diplomatic sensibilities and complementary backgrounds will boost the Harvard community’s respect...
