A Still Small Voice

Candidates for election to the Student Council have long ignored their responsibility to present their constituents with something more than their personality. Although Harvard has many issues on which student opinion is sought or needed, the members of the Student Council can, at present make no accurate claim to being true representatives of student opinion.

In a brief moment of enlightenment the Council did pass a resolution encouraging discussion by House candidates of Harvard problems. The candidates who are meant to represent their classes are, however, still out in the cold. If the Student Council will not provide some forum in which they can air their views on issues from Men Hall to Al Hofeld, the candidates themselves should take the inactive and advertise their platforms of action to their classmates. Only by taking such action can they make the Student Council the voice of the College that it pretends to be.
