Haynes rebuffs the conservative label.

"If you look at the issues I've covered in the past, I've come down on both sides of the fence," Haynes said.

Building on a trend started in the spring by the Hyman/Rawlins ticket, both Haynes and Rawlins have chosen to take running mates in an attempt to strengthen their candidacies, while Kaplan is going it alone.

Vice-presidential candidate Mark

A, Price '98, running with Haynes, said he hopes the ticket will be able to make the council more accessible to traditionally underrepresented campus voices.

"I have really good ties with the black community and Liz has good ties with women on campus," said Price, who is vice-president of the Black Men's Forum. "We want to make the council accessible to all communities."

Among her campaign objectives, Haynes singled out creating a multicultural center, improving advising and improving the Core curriculum.

Kaplan said he plans to focus his campaign around several key issues, including active fundraising by the council, greater communication between student groups and rebuilding the council's credibility.

According to Kaplan, he decided to run again because of the positive feedback he said he received after an opinion piece he wrote appeared in The Crimson.

In the piece, which appeared on Friday, Kaplan criticized the council's fundraising tactics.

"People came up to me and said, 'Thanks for pointing that out,'" said Kaplan, who is a Crimson editor.

Rawlins said she wants the council to focus on supporting student groups.

"The U.C. must devote its resources to student services," Rawlins said. "To the extent that this limits our ability to entertain the campus, so be it.
