They propose creating a council mutual fund, supported by an optional fee on student term bills, which would increase the group's wealth in future years.

For the present though, the pair sees the council as under-funded--the current term bill fee of $20, an amount unchanged since 1988, is simply insufficient, they say.

"The term bill is going to have to be raised out of practicality," Bash says.

Zanotelli and Bash also speculate about obtaining matching funds from the University or receiving contributions from private donors.

The candidates say they would like to initiate "Sex Week," which would promote awareness on campus about issues of sexual orientation, assault, harassment, as well as lighter topics, such as dating at Harvard.

The week would culminate with a "Sex Dance" Bash says, for whom promoting sexual awareness is a personal mission, as his uncle was a gay activist who died of AIDS.

Both candidates are Catholics, and say they want to emphasize their openness about issues of sexual orientation, assault and harassment.
