Candice T. Player '02 deems the current academic advising system weak, like many of her peers in a student body that constantly complains about advising.

But this school year, she'll be in a unique position to do something about it.

Player is one of 25 student representatives to Faculty committees elected in a six-hour process Tuesday night (For a complete list of student representatives, see accompanying chart.)

The representatives were chosen by members of the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) of the Undergraduate Council.

Newly elected student committee members said their goal for the year was to increase the interaction between Faculty and students across campus.

"We will try to get Faculty members more involved and more accessible," said SAC Vice- Chair Michael D. Shumsky '00, who sits on the Faculty Committees for College Life, House Life and Undergraduate Education (CUE).

One solution, Shumsky said, would be to allow Faculty members to take meals in undergraduate Houses in order to encourage informal interaction between the professors and students.

"This move would give a powerful message to the Faculty," Shumsky said.
