For example, Stephen N. Smith '02 said he would use the money to fund more campus-wide events--a core part of his platform.
"I'd like to see a lot more professional bands and musicians on campus," he says.
Gusmorino agrees that campus-wide events need to be boosted, but said that it should be done by House Committees and the newly created Concert Commission--not by the council itself.
Justin A. Barkley '02 has advocated giving more money to House Committees as the centerpiece of his platform, and he promises that money from the term bill fee increase would go to House Committees, too.
He also argues that a reallocation of the council's funds would free up even more money. Cutting the usual big-name band from Springfest would allow the council to host a Fallfest featuring student bands, he said.
B.J. Averell '02 could not comment because the Election Commission has ordered his campaign to shut down due to rules violations. However, in Monday's presidential debate, he agreed with Barkley that House Committees could use the money.
"The U.C. is there to reinforce the HoCos and that's key to building smaller communities on campus," he said Monday.
