Another of Lee and Fernandez’s campaign promises was to provide students with subsidized tickets for weekend round-trip shuttles to New York City.

Lee says that the shuttles will start out at two buses each month and increase in frequency depending on student interest.

“We just had a trial run, and it was very successful,” Lee says.

She says she plans to model her proposal after recently established shuttles leaving from the Law School to New York.

Gusmorino says this project is “something they can definitely do.”

But Barkley says he wonders whether the shuttles will only appeal to a select group of students.

“That’s great for people like Sujean who love to go back and forth to New York,” Barkley says. “It seems like it will definitely serve a certain group of Harvard students much more than another group.”

Student Space

Lee and Fernandez also addressed the current lack of student space during their campaign. They say they want to create more common areas where students can congregate, like the Quincy Grille.

“It’s always a struggle to find appropriate meeting space,” Lee says.

Lee and Fernandez say they want to create a centralized system through which students can call in and reserve rooms on campus.

Lee says the first step is a “broad sweeping examination of all the available space at Harvard.”

But Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth ’71 says he sees scheduling difficulties with this plan.

“A centralized room reservation system would be quite difficult at Harvard, since so many different entities control the spaces,” Illingworth says. “Since not all the spaces are booked in the same way or even by the same offices, this idea, while a good one, remains problematic.”
