...Council is a group intended to foster interaction between student government between Ivy League schools. Unfortunately, its annual conference amounts to little more than an expensive junket for representatives. The conference has resulted in few tangible benefits. The most recent idea attributed to the Ivy Council, the "Census 2000" initiative of Fentrice D. Driskell '01, flopped after lackluster student participation...
Reflecting these concerns, the council on Sunday drew up a list of grievances against the Ivy Council. Accusing the Ivy Council of wasting time at its conferences and complaining that it should provide funding for delegates' travel expenses, students voted to leave the group at the end of the year if these issues are not addressed.

Roosevelt '04 undertook the Rural Electrification Project. He believed that electricity...
...problems. We're going to have to change our attitudes towards energy and the environment in general, but unfettered capitalism is not the way to achieve that change. The solution to the energy crisis lies in our ability and willingness to prioritize conservation and the environment as a group, and it is precisely here that economic conservatives fail...
