Luke R. Long '03 has been pounding the pavement in Adams House, shaking hands and trying to meet his prospective constituency.
His work seems especially urgent in light of the tight race this year. In Adams House, six candidates are running for three slots.

In last year's race, Long said, "there were two candidates for six slots."
For that reason, House residents aren't used to heavy campaigning, and haven't all been taking him seriously.
"People are laughing at the hard work I've put in," Long said.
Another distinguishing trait of this year's races is that they are almost exclusively male.
Of 49 candidates for the slots in the upperclass Houses, only seven are female.
