...reporters undoubtedly, are aware of the dilemmas involved. As a result, coverage of the elections this year has been almost self-consciously balanced. It is true that the vast majority of the press has gone to four candidates: Elizabeth A. Haynes '98, Benjamin R. Kaplan '99-'98, Eric M. Nelson '99 and Lamelle D. Rawlins '99. Still, these are the only candidates who have political pasts and widespread name-recognition on campus. As a result, these are the only candidates who now appear to have a legitimate chance of victory. Inevitably, judgment calls were made, but this is not unusual...
Although I disagree with the staff editorial from yesterday ("Haynes #1, Nelson #2 for President; Price for V.P.," Dec. 9) in that Philip R. Kaufman '98 should be ranked first, followed by Elizabeth A. Haynes '98 and Eric M. Nelson '99 (the critique of Lamelle D. Rawlins '99 was 100 percent on target), it is an excellent illustration of why this aspect of the system is so important. To put it simply, the election will come down to being a choice between two of the top five people listed in yesterday's Crimson poll: Kaufman, Haynes, Nelson, Benjamin R. Kaplan...

More than 30 councillors, including most members of the executive board, have endorsed his candidacy; this demonstrates that Nelson has earned his colleagues' trust and respect. Further, it implies that Nelson can make the council a cohesive organization that responds to the concerns of all students...
...opinion misrepresents is the performance of Haynes in last week's debate. The staff fails to mention that she spoke last in the debate and had a full 15 minutes to think about her response to the Crimson's question regarding how to raise students' concerns to the administration. Nelson, who spoke first, gave an insightful response of fostering communication that showed his determination to build consensus among students and administrators to make the Undergraduate Council relevant to this university...
...Family Matters and its alien-voiced, freak man-child Steve Urkel have been with us for eight seasons--and yet the show remains the highest rated in its time period. The same network's Coach (on hiatus until midwinter) is in its ninth season with a star, Craig T. Nelson, who isn't even as charismatic and with-it as Steve Guttenberg. NBC's competent Wings has maintained a loyal following for six years, but even people who use the phrase Must-See TV without irony would be hard-pressed to name Wings' stars...
