The election commission ordered Guseh to remove all campaign literature after friends of his brought three laptops into the Currier dining hall and encouraged residents to vote for him. Campaigning in dining halls is against election rules.

Guseh has appealed the disqualification, and the election commission will decide on the appeal today. If the appeal is denied, then the fourth place finisher in Currier House, Colleston A. Morgan ’07, would replace Guseh on the council.

At last night’s opening meeting of the new council, both Mahan and council vice president Michael R. Blickstead ’05 delivered speeches and then administered elections for secretary and treasurer.

The council elected Chidubem N. Iloabachie ’07 of Eliot House as its new secretary and Clay T. Capp ’06 of Kirkland House as its new treasurer.

Mahan and Blickstead also discussed appointing an assistant treasurer, in light of the 95 checks the council bounced this past spring and summer.

The council also considered one piece of new legislation last night—a bill that would allow for the council to promote the movie-download website Movielink.com in exchange for a 25 percent discount on movie downloads for Harvard students. In addition, a cut of the revenue would go to the council.

The bill, which was written by Adams, passed 31 to 12 with 4 abstentions.

The results of the class ring vote will be announced today after voting, which was open to all students, ended at midnight last night. According to Eindauf, only 30 to 35 percent of those who voted in the council election voted for a class ring design.
