Driskell says she is sticking to the community-building proposals that earned her and her presidential running mate, T. Christopher King '01, second place in last year's elections. The pair has also added a plank of council reform to their platform.

Driskell hopes to continue the Harvard Census 2000 project she started as a council member, which she says will allow the council to "assess where Harvard is now."

The survey will gauge student opinion on the student center proposal, ask students what they like and do not like about Harvard, and ask how they would like to see the College improved. Driskell says Associate Dean David P. Illingworth '71 and University President Neil L. Rudenstine have committed to review the survey's results.

Like last year, Driskell is also hoping to build community by offering grants to student groups that collaborate on projects. The team hopes to offer several grants of $500 or $1000 to groups that plan joint social events, such as dances or outings.

Driskell and Burton have been endorsed by the Radcliffe Union of Students, Black Students Association, Perspective, Students for Choice and Black Men's Forum. The ticket also has the support of outgoing council vice president Kamil E. Redmond '00 and King, Driskell's former running mate. The Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance also endorsed Burton.

Driskell, a native of Lakeland, Fla. and Mather House, sings in the Kuumba Singers and is a member of the Harvard chapter of NAACP, the Black Students Association and the Mather House Committee.

And Driskell--who says helping organize the first-year formal one of her proudest council accomplishments--declares herself "die-hard U.C."
