Candidates Champion Postering

Many Undergraduate Council candidates sre promoting student group concerns. Ironically, as campaigning for the executive positions increases, candidates are experiencing first-hand one of campus student groups' main concerns--the lack of adequate postering space in the Yard.

Many candidates, including presidential hopefuls John A. Burton '01 and Noah Z. Seton '00, have said they intend to push for more generous College postering policies.

"You're fighting for postering space," said vice presidential candidate Kamil E. Redmond '00.

"I think postering is certainly important," said Nicholas J. Stone '00, also running for vice president. "[But} it's not the be-all and end-all."

Among student group leaders, who poster more often than campaigners, restrictions have prompted recent frustration.

"I know this year with the University really stepping up the enforcement of the postering rules, it's been tough to get adequate postering space," C.J. Mahoney '00, a member of the IOP student affairs committee, said. "Not being able to poster Thayer gate has been a real deterrent."

But not all student group leaders rank improved postering high among election issues. Dan J. Hopkins '00, a managing editor for Perspective, said postering problems cannot be solved by the U.C. and will not influence the publication's endorsement.

"However much bulletin space is up, student groups will jockey for space," he said. "For me, it's not much of an issue."
