“It’s like asking Clarence Thomas what his favorite rap album is,” Terry said.

Kimberly D. Williams ’06, who is running for the council from Adams House and was endorsed by the Vote or Die Family, said she thought the council was currently unrepresentative.

“I think it’s good to have more women and minorities on the council,” Williams said. “I don’t think the current membership is proportional to the student body.”

Last night’s event was sponsored by the Black Men’s Forum, the Black Students Association and Fuerza Latina.

Also last night, the chair of the council’s Election Commission, Jonathan D. Einkauf ’06, said he held two hearings on allegations of serious campaign rules violations.

The first hearing was about a candidate who had allegedly spent what Einkauf called “prohibitive” amounts of money during his campaign, but the commission determined that this was not the case and no action was taken.

The second hearing was on reports that several friends of J. Sawallah Guseh ’06, who is seeking re-election from Currier House, brought three laptops into the Currier dining hall to log votes for him.

The election commission has prohibited campaigning in dining halls, but due to the small number of votes that were actually cast there, the commission decided against disqualifying Guseh, Einkauf said. He said Guseh would face an as-yet-undetermined penalty.

Voting runs until noon tomorrow.
