Driskell Wins Landslide; Fee Hike Fails

Council Cut to 50; Term Bill Stays $20

Among other campaign planks, Driskell and Burton say they will put response cards in the dining halls for students to submit comments and complaints to the council.

The mood was somber at gatherings put together by many of the losing candidates.

Frank X. Leonard '01 said he doubted that he and his running mate Katie E. Tenney '01 would remain on council.

"To be honest, it's in question at this point," he said.

Leonard nevertheless declared a Pyrrhic victory.

"Our goal from the outset was to get more students involved in U.C. politics, and tonight we have 50 people at a campaign party, none of whom are in the U.C.--mission accomplished," Leonard said.
