What if you called an election and nobody came? The Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) faced just that problem last week, as only two of 12 Houses managed to field enough candidates to hold elections.

Most Houses have uncontested seats, with only one candidate running for a given seat.
Jennifer Levin '80, president of RUS, says that although she is disappointed by the lack of interest, she believes the vacancies will be filled before the end of the term.
