In a move that may further complicate Undergraduate Council officer races, two former executives have joined a reform-minded council party.

Presidential candidate David L. Hanselman '94-'95 announced this week that he has joined the Movement to Reform the Undergraduate Council (MRUC), a group of nearly 30 candidates pledging to push for certain specified changes.

And former secretary Randall A. Fine '96 has also signed on to the group's agenda, Fine said in an interview yesterday.

By joining MRUC, Hanselman adds his name to a list that includes last year's Vice President Joshua D. Liston '95, his only declared opponent for the council's top spot.

Fine has stated publicly that he hasn't thought about running for office. But according to a source familiar with the council, Fine has said that he has his eyes on the vice presidency.

The reforms listed on MRUC's posters have been controversial in the past. They include the addition of a second set of general elections and the simplification of the waiver of the $20 council fee on term bills.

MRUC's posters state that all its members are "committed to the reforms" outlined. MRUC's founders, Rudd W. Coffey '97 and David V. Bonfili '96, said yesterday that they require a candidate to agree with all of MRUC's goals before joining.

But Hanselman and several other candidates said they didn't.

Hanselman said he originally called Coffey inquiring about MRUC. And Hanselman said yesterday that he did indeed agree to each of the proposals--except semester elections.

Even though he subscribed to only part of MRUC's agenda, Coffey listed him as a member anyway, Hanselman said.

But Coffey disputed that account of the events.

Coffey said yesterday he was unaware that Hanselman's opinions differed from those of the MRUC.

"As far as we knew, he's committed to the entire thing," Coffey said.

Coffey later called the discrepancy "a case of miscommunication" and assumed responsibility for it.

Other cases of miscommunication seem to have occurred, however.
