Gusmorino also promises a CUE-type guide for concentrations, a sophomore formal, a first-year rape prevention program, and a concert by the bands "Roots" and "Black eyed peas."

Having served on the council since coming to Harvard, Gusmorino is the current chair of SAC, a group that reviews legislation before it is voted on by the full council body.

Sujean S. Lee '02, a second-year council member and the social chair of the Campus Life Committee, is the only woman on a council ticket this year.

Lee brings more than experience alone--a woman has been on every winning ticket since the council turned to popular elections five years ago,

"Having a balance in the ticket, you are more essentially getting a real representation of the student body," Lee says.

Gusmorino's supporters say he has always focused on results. During last year's impeachment scandal, Gusmorino was busy creating U.C. books, the councils' textbook price-comparison website.

"U.C. books was the most impressive effort any student has put together on the U.C.," says John Paul Rollert '00-'01, a former SAC chair who serves with Gusmorino on council. "[Just look at] the amount of effort that it took, the number of different administrators that had to approve it."

The key, supporters say, was that Gusmorino was able to convince the administration that his idea was feasible, and that he would be able to see it through.
