“I want to serve on the Finance Committee. I’d like to explore how it works,” said Ayele. “I can’t set a more direct agenda until then.”
But some candidates, like Evan M. Rose ’09, of the North Yard, are pursuing more specific ambitions.
“I want to facilitate dialogue between the UC and freshmen,” he said. “And I also want to extend the hours of Annenberg and petition for better food selection.”
Although Vote or Die works with candidates to make their campaigns run as smoothly as possible, this does not guarantee a painless process.
“I was not on the official e-mail listing of candidates, and I thought it was totally unfair,” said Ayele. “Lori Adelman worked with me to appeal to the Election Commission about this problem.”
UC Election Commission official Michael B. Love ’08 attributed this problem to a glitch in the software, and said that he is an advocate of Vote or Die.
“Vote or Die has excellent goals and is a great value to the community,” he said.
Adelman said that Vote or Die will continue next year.
“It’s a public service and a necessity,” she said. “Without Vote or Die, the UC would not be the phenomenal thing that it is today.”
