Stumped:Candidates Go the Distance

11:10 a.m.

By this time, most of the candidates have abandoned campaigning for classes. Dreyfus traverses the Yard one more time to get to his class at Emerson Hall. The lecture for Historical Study B-27, "The English Revolution," is his only Monday class, but he will spend the bulk of the afternoon in meetings at Hillel, where he is annual events coordinator, and doing work in his Quad dorm room will consume most of his evening.

Since declarations of war and other bellicose schemes loom large in his platform, he is jokingly asked whether today's schedule will involve taking over the world.

"Yeah, I have a few meetings, then world domination sometime mid-afternoon," he says, never cracking a smile.

Driskell and Burton's schedule is somewhat less leisurely. Burton's expulsion from the council seems to have disrupted both his and Driskell's day--much of their time was spent planning a complaint against the council and contemplating how to answer the inevitable questions from both supporters and opponents.

Dealing with the expulsion consumed so much of the time that they neglected to organize the evening's campaign, and when they met up after a round of endorsement meetings to knock on doors, neither remembered to bring flyers.

By the time evening rolls around, Tenney is nursing strep throat. She decided to knock on Weld Hall doors anyway.

Upon entering the first-year dorm, Tenney spots some council members, going door to door to raise support for the council's proposed term-bill hike that will appear on the ballot. Tenney hustles up the stairs in front of the representatives, thinking that the reaction to the second of two council canvasses might not be warm.
