Profile of Leonard-Tenney

"I want space for students," Leonard said, jokingly vowing to "kick [Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans] out of her office" if necessary.

And, says Tenney, with a student center in the MAC, "hopefully we'll get people exercising."

Leonard and Tenney have also formulated a plan to involve the council in campus social life.

They cite the massive overcrowding of House events like the Adams' Masquerade and the Leverett's '80s Dance as evidence that students want and need more social options. Their solution is to have council-sponsored events for first-years every other weekend, and one additional event per year in each House.

To pay for these events, Leonard and Tenney favor the termbill increase students will vote on in this week's election.

They also are in favor of reducing the council's size, which students can vote on in an election referendum. Leonard and Tenney think the reform would make council general elections more competitive, as well improving the group's credibility and efficiency.

Along those same lines, Leonard and Tenney plan to keep their campaign staff intact if they win the election to do things like poll students in dining halls, so that the council will be more in touch with the student body.
