After a prolonged delay, the Election Planning and Advisory Committee released last night the official list of candidates for a number of student leadership positions, including Student Assembly president and vice president.
As anticipated, Alex Grishman '01, Jorge Miranda '01, Meg Smoot '01 and Alex Wilson '01 entered what could be a tight race for Assembly president, along with newcomer Brett Quimby '02, who represents the Jack-O-Lantern humor society nomination.
Chance Hill '01, who had announced his intentions for the presidential seat late last month, is running for vice president instead, along with Molly Stutzman '02 and Jack-O-Lantern candidate Jacob Osterhout '02.
Hill said the fact that he shares the same views as some in the crowded presidential field made him decide to seek a vice presidential position instead.
"Everything I want to get done, I hope I can get done as VP if I am elected," Hill said.
The release of the candidates' names came after a bizarre two-day delay due to confusion between the precise rules governing D-plan arrangements of the EPAC and the Assembly. The Assembly passed a resolution to resolve the situation Tuesday night.
Charles Gussow and Derek Lee are running unopposed for the Class of 2001 presidential and vice presidential positions, respectively.
Competition for the Class of 2003 presidency and vice presidency is significantly more fierce, with four candidates running for president and three candidates running for vice president.
