As president, I look forward to working closely with student groups and encouraging their cooperation. I will promote services which improve students' lives, and will work to have the council truly represent the student body by giving a greater voice to students. I will get the job done because I don't have to worry about re-election or partisanship.

Edward B. Smith III '97

I want to implement a new and entirely different vision of the form and function of our student government. I am multifaceted and will not get so caught up in school politics that I will lose sight of making the College a more livable place.

With common sense and the ability to think clearly, the council needs me to sustain its reputation. The ball is in our court and the council has not been playing its best game. The result of recent irresponsibility is inaction.

My web page is http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~ebsmith. Here is my plan for change:

(1) I want the council to centralize the multitudes of information available to students and supplement it where it is insufficient, serving as a clearinghouse.

(2) I want a more fun school. I will organize seasonal weekends that everyone can look forward to.

(3) I want to reorganize the council's legislative structure to bring only the most-considered and action-ready resolutions before the full council.

I am the best candidate to represent you and to bring the council forward. As council treasurer, I am a proven professional manager and have the experience to make the council work for you. We have a great opportunity to stand up for new ideas and approaches grounded in a thorough knowledge of how the council works. I am the only candidate with the knowledge of procedure combined with the vision and the willingness to seek action. The only one. I need your vote.
