Dominguez said he advocates putting leaders ofstudent groups on the council to serve alongsidethe elected representatives. He also advocatedusing the council to host forums and debates.

"I want the U.C. to be the center for thediscussion of student politics, like the Instituteof Politics is for real-life politics," he said.

Levy said he wanted to limit the role of thepresident to dealing with council matters.

"If the council pretends it's electing astudent body president, they're completely off themark," he said. "The council needs to be theleader of a specific group and not worry about thegreater Harvard population."
