“We have a great group of people who are working with us and sometimes they are a little too excited,” said Nicolais. He said that his platform appeals to freshmen because of its emphasis on hosting more social events and to upperclassmen for its emphasis on fiscal responsibility.

Despite the monetary penalties, candidates said they are enjoying the race.

“We’ve been getting a ton of positive response,” said Clay T. Capp ’06, who won the College Democrats’ endorsement along with Glazer yesterday. “Almost everyone on the UC supports us.”

Samita A. Mannapperuma ’06, who is running for vice president alongside Nicolais, said that she has not gotten much sleep since the start of campaigning.

“It’s really exciting to see people respond to our campaign,” said Mannapperuma, who is also dating Nicolais.

In addition to paper campaigns, Glazer-Capp and Nicolais-Mannapperuma have both launched websites, and Moore said he will not be far behind.

“Their websites lull me to sleep,” said Moore, promising that his would be more interesting once it is up and running.

The candidates have five more days to polish their campaigns before voting begins on Monday.
