Smith's supporters say he has proven himself more than adept at getting the job done.

As a first-year, Smith was co-chair of the council's Campus Life Committee (CLC) and helped put together one of the council's most successful and widely attended Springfests ever--featuring the Violent Femmes.

This year, he did not run for CLC chair--but his running-mate James C. Coleman '03 did, and will lead the committee in charge of Springfest and other campus-wide events for the council.

It is no surprise, then, that the ticket's plans for the council focus on increasing both the quantity and quality of these events.

Smith says he wants to sponsor a music series with performances by student bands and DJs, and is authoring The Harvard Guide to Campus-wide Events to help bring different groups together.

He also says he wants to reach out to other student groups to help them put together campus-wide activities, citing his experience planning the "Battle of the Bands" concert over Harvard-Yale weekend.

"The U.C. was a major player in 'Battle of the Bands' but it wasn't the only player," he says. "I don't think that the U.C. should unilaterally dictate community activity."

However, with the student body's refusal to approve an increase in the council's termbill fees for two years straight, the council is strapped for cash and may not be able to afford some of the campus wide events that have been proposed.
