Seton and Redmond pledge to take the approach that has worked on these smaller issues--working closely with and consistently pressuring the administration in a non-confrontational manner--to those student issues that, as we have long argued, are simply more important: advising, UHS reform and countering the effects of randomization by supporting student groups and thinking about a new student center. Both candidates also wisely support downsizing the council and are committed to improving Springfest by involving other student groups in its planning and breaking the event's tired mold...
None of the other major candidates matches the Seton-Redmond ticket in offering such a cohesive vision...
While we support Seton and Redmond, we also admire the progressive ideas of John A. Burton '01, the current treasurer, and Scott A. Resnick '01, a Crimson editor. The pair seem to have reasonable ideas about what is wrong with the current council--a lack of attention to issues such as Ad Board reform, ethnic studies and Faculty diversity--yet are less convincing when it comes to solutions. Still, students can take advantage of the council's hare proportional system of voting and rank Burton and Resnick second...
Admittedly, Seton and Redmond make an odd combination. Redmond ran just one year ago for the vice presidency on a progressive platform, loudly distancing herself from the "apolitical" politics practiced by Stewart and her running mate, Samuel C. Cohen '00. And it is no small feat for this staff to endorse Seton, a former president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Republican Alliance. We still harbor a strong faith in the progressive work attempted by numerous council members just a few years...
...confident that Redmond's support of progressive issues will complement the ticket's service-oriented agenda well. Indeed, Seton and Redmond will make an effective and energetic team at the head of the council. They have unified around a set of concerns more important than frozen yogurt and more reasonable for the council than protesting the practices of foreign regimes. Together, they will continue to restore legitimacy to the council by having a positive impact on students' lives...
