Additionally, College Council (CC) plans to fill a vacancy created by the election of third-year Representative Travis Benaiges as chair. When Benaiges was selected for the leadership post at CC’s third-week meeting, his seat as a third-year representative became vacant. Despite the requirement (articulated in CC’s by-laws) that the council fill vacancies within a week of their creation, the council will not fill this one until its tenth-week meeting on November 30.

Typically, Benaiges’ old seat would have automatically gone to the fifth-place finisher in his class from the previous Spring’s election, but Benaiges and three others ran uncontested for the Class of 2013’s four council seats in last April’s polls.

In an additional twist, Benaiges will be studying abroad in South Africa next quarter, and vice chair Glynis Fagan will be temporarily assuming the chairmanship. Thus, Fagan’s seat as a fourth-year representative will become vacant during the Winter. The council will choose an interim replacement for her on November 30.

Interested third- and fourth-years need simply show up to this November 30 meeting and give a pitch to the council to be considered for the seats. CC’s policy is to fill vacancies through internal elections, a custom that has come under fire from this newspaper’s editorial board.

The meeting will be held at 7pm in Stuart 104 on that day.
