This year, only one person, Chad A. Wathington '01, ran for the five available council seats from Dunster House. Boni-Saenz thinks this shouldn't happen.
Seton, a longtime advocate of a smaller council, broke into a grin when asked before the meeting if he thought the legislation might pass.
"I don't know. It just might," he said.
But while council members were in the middle of a debate on the measure, a teaching fellow walked into the room and announced that he had booked the room for a class.
Inadvertently pointing the spotlight on a longtime council issue--the lack of student group space--the administration had double-booked the council's meeting room in Sever Hall.
To solve the problem, Seton volunteered to move the council meeting upstairs.
Unfortunately, when the meeting resumed, three representatives who had been present when the meeting began--Eliot House representative Nicholas O. Stephanopoulos '01, Pforzheimer House representative John P. Marshall '01, and Winthrop House representative Michael A. Hill '02--had left, pushing the council below its quorum.
