Elections have already been opened, and Coop members can vote online or with ballots, which have already been mailed, until April 7th.

Along with running for the board, Rosenberg yesterday delivered the 600 signatures collected at the rally along with a letter advising Murphy to insure the Bow's existence to his office.

"The Bow & Arrow Pub is a Harvard Square icon. When individuals think of Harvard Square, they think of places like The Bow & Arrow Pub. Chain store operations and shopping mall ambience is not high on their priority list when going to Harvard Square," Rosenberg writes in his letter.

"As you are aware, there is substantial concern over the removal of the Bow & Arrow Bar by the Harvard Coop and its developer partner. I am asking that the Harvard Coop reconsider this decision," he continues.

"More specifically, I am asking to attend the April Harvard Coop Board of Directors meeting to discuss the issue in more detail and discuss alternatives that can benefit both the Harvard Coop and the Bow & Arrow Pub," he writes.

A Foot in the Door

Rosenberg also says he had wanted to go to the March board meeting to argue the case of the Bow, but was told the meetings were not open by Coop student representative Tiziana Dearing, also a KSG student.

"I'm a Coop member, I don't think its unreasonable to want to go to their board meeting," Rosenberg says. "I understand if people just showing up at the board meeting could be unruly, but I've given them plenty of notice."
