For the first time, students will be able to directly elect members to Student Events, according to Sarah Blaker '07, the director for the campus programming group.The group, which has often come under fire for lacking accountability with students, will hold elections starting Oct. 4, Blaker said. Polls will open at 9 a.m. that day, and will close 9 a.m. Oct. 5.

Six representatives-one for each class and two at-large-will be voted on with the same online system used for Student Union elections, she said.

These representatives will be responsible, through discussions and surveys, for gathering information on what events students want. Their focus will be to put this information to use by creating programming for individual class years, Blaker said.
