After a week of ardent campaigning in which all candidates have clamored for radical reform, The Crimson confidently endorses Rohit Chopra ’04 and Jessica R. Stannard-Friel ’04 for president and vice president of the Undergraduate Council. Chopra and Stannard-Friel have the experience and vision to implement their ambitious platform and to rescue the council from the unfulfilled promises and squandered credibility that have characterized the past year...
...accomplishments of Chopra and Stannard-Friel have been some of the council’s greatest recent highlights. They played key roles in the Core reduction, extended universal keycard access, Springfest, later party hours, free Harvard-Yale tickets and a spirited tailgate at The Game.

They propose an unprecedented party fund that would provide eight $50 subsidies each week to encourage students to host parties that are open to large numbers of undergraduates. While they have not finalized the details, we hope that Chopra and Stannard-Friel will emphasize parties open to entire Houses and not those for final clubs or a few friends and blockmates...
Their student services platform extends far beyond social life. Chopra and Stannard-Friel propose the implementation of e-sourcebooks, freely accessible to all students online, along with a resurrected UC Marketplace and more convenient and numerous student shuttles during holidays...
