Was Undergraduate Council presidential candidate Ben Dreyfus not at the debate reported on in today's issue? We recall seeing him there and were shocked to see that he alone was omitted from your article. Political campaigns depend on the press for publicity, and the Crimson performed a great disservice to Dreyfus by failing to report on his position, or even to acknowledge his candidacy. The role of a news article is to report the facts to the students and let them draw their own conclusions--not to pass judgment on the merits of certain candidates and include or exclude information accordingly.
