Ken Lee says the council is the "perfect arena" to debate the final clubs' membership policies.

"I think that it is appropriate for us as students to call on a final club organization to admit women," says Ken Lee, "I do not think it is appropriate for the UC to support the discrimination complaint of Lisa Schkolnick."

Ron Lee, also of Eliot House, says he wants to improve undergraduate advising and the shuttle bus system, as well as ensuring that the council is "particularly prudent in our distribution of grants," in light of the doubling of the council's budget this year from $60,000 to $120,000.

He also says it needs to work more closely with house committees to do a better job in throwing parties or concerts for the whole school. The history and literature concentrator points to successful events planned by last year's social committee such as the tailgate party before the Yale game, the raft race and the Quadfest party as evidence for his qualifications.

Last year several concerts discussed by the council failed to materialize, but Ron Lee says that lack should not be a detriment to his campaign. "I think the fact we will probably have a concert this year shows it was not a matter of negligence, just the time and opportunity wasn't quite right."

Ron Lee, a member of the all-male Porcellian Club, says his final club membership would not impede his ability to moderate a discussion on any resolutions concerning the clubs. "I don't think my membership in a club necessarily precludes my ability to be impartial in a meeting on the club issue," says Lee, adding he would temporarily cede the chair if he "had something burning to say." The chairman votes only to break a tie.

Improving constituent contact and furthering programs which bring undergraduates and the homeless together are two of Lockwood's goals as chairman.

He also proposes a College-sponsored program to provide low interest loans for students who would not be otherwise able to afford a personal computer. "I think it's a real disadvantage in 1988 to come to school without a computer," says Lockwood.

Lockwood cites his work last semester as secretary, the council's third highest but generally least sought job, his advocacy of University neutrality in the union election and his outspoken stance against the all-male final clubs as elements of his record which qualify him for the chairmanship.

Lockwood is a member of Stop Witholding Access Today (SWAT), a group formed to back Schkolnick's complaint against the Fly Club. He says he would be able to fairly conduct a meeting on clubs despite his strong views on the topic.

"Debbie Slotnick, Ron Lee and Ken Lee don't have a monopoly on fairness or judiciousness. I think my record shows I've been very fair and reasonable," says Lockwood, pointing to his objectivity in taking the minutes during meetings devoted to the final clubs last year.

The history concentrator also proposes the direct election of the council chairman by the student body.
