SCOCC Candidates Debate

In front of Crossroads Cafe, the current candidates for Student Co-Chair of Community Council (SCOCC), Kathryn Benson '13 and Barrett Smith '13 took questions from the audience and discussed their policy plans at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Benson highlighted her previous experiences in student leadership positions and emphasized the importance of uniting the whole community — not just students, but also faculty and staff. Benson also discussed the need for an evaluation system that would ensure new policies have been implemented successfully.

Smith promised to increase student involvement in the governance of the College. Among his main platform points is the creation of a "Social Honor Code," which he envisions as a social contract that would be written by the student body.

Both Benson and Smith expressed a strong desire to increase awareness of the Community Council's responsibilities and initiatives.

Voting will take place tomorrow, Monday Sept. 23 from noon until Tuesday Sept. 24 at noon. All current students are eligible to vote.
