The Senator for Village Quad position opened after Missy Skolnik '12 went abroad this semester.

In an interview with the Justice, Didia said that his goal as the Senator for the Village would be to create more social gatherings and mixers. "It's really what the students want, and I'll fight for it," he said.

Pace said in an interview with the Justice that she is interested in trying to expand the Turkey Shuttle services currently offered by the Student Union by either broadening it regionally into Pennsylvania or by accomodating other holidays like Passover.

Israel, a midyear, explained in an interview with the Justice that he does not have an official platform; instead, he is listening to the different concerns of the residents of the Village and identifying their main complaints, like those concerning food on campus.

The Senator for the East Quad position opened after Albert Feldman resigned on Jan. 31, according to a press release by the Executive Board. (See "Feldman resigns East Quad senator position," page 3).

Hayes said in an interview with the Justice that he feels that East Quad gets overlooked in terms of campus renovation, but "I feel like if I were a senator I [could] do a lot to . work with the Facilities staff and clean up the whole dorm a lot."

In an interview with the Justice, Bhatia explained that as a transfer, although it is his first semester here, he finds East Quad and the description of the Senator for East Quad position to be "very personal," and that "if there is an opportunity for me to do something to change [living conditions in East Quad] I wanted to . take part and become active at Brandeis, especially where I am living."

Rapoza explained in an interview with the Justice, "I'm always trying to make things better, and so I think that through the Senate, being a senator for East Quad, I'll have that ability . to represent my classmates." He also wants to hold meetings to find out if people are having facilities-related problems in their rooms.

The Senator for the Class of 2012 position opened after Abby Kulawitz '12 left to study abroad.

Ramirez said in an interview with the Justice that, even though he participates in on-campus, activities he feels that he lacks substantial responsibility. "I felt like ... if I'm going to put in all this effort I might as well ... have ... the grounds to better the campus and the student body."

Election results will be updated on the Justice website after they are announced tomorrow.
