On the Trail

While competition was scant in some uncontested districts, other Houses had lively campaigns, with posters and slogans ranging from the vehement to the light-hearted.

Dunster House resident Michael Heller '84's posters read. "Heller is pissed at the ad- ministration's foot-dragging and cover-up on issues of sexual harassment. "Toni Tease '87, elected from the Canaday/Union district, promised, "I won't live up to my name."

And campaigning became rivalrous in the Southeast Yard district when one freshman candidate accused another of taking down his posters.

Chadwick Allen '87 was admonished by election officials after Daniel Oran '87 charged him with taking down campaign posters from the walls of Weld Hall. According to Allen, Oran saw one of Allen's roommates taking down a poster. Allen said his roommate apologized after the incident. Oran eventually withdrew the accusation.

Council members are elected under a proportional system in which a candidate must receive a minimum number of votes to be elected. Once a candidate reaches this threshold, additional votes are transferred to the next choice marked on the ballot. Thirty-one candidates were elected on the first round of balloting.
