“I think it’s important to clarify what we mean by politics. We are not talking about a UC that’s weighing in on national political issues or aligns itself with a political party or political ideology,” Wohns said.
Current UC President Danny P. Bicknell ’13 attended Sunday’s meeting.
“It was encouraging to see student interested in running for the Council,” wrote in an e-mail to the Crimson because he could not be reached by phone. “The Council needs passionate and dedicated Representatives that will fight for the students’ interests.”
Bicknell also said that the current UC will “continue to fight for student power.”
According to the Crimson Coalition’s organizers, Sunday’s meeting was not the public launch. The next meeting of the Crimson Coalition will be on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. in the Quincy Spindell Room.
