Freshman Evan Lichtenstein was elected to the Tufts Community Union Senate in a special election Wednesday. A freshman seat was left available following the resignation of freshman Nick Schrobak last month.
"I am very ecstatic to be elected," Lichtenstein said last night. "I can say that this is somewhat of a surprise."
Lichtenstein beat five other students to assume the seat left vacant by Schrobak
After orienting himself to the senate, Lichtenstein said he would "pick one goal that the freshman class feels needs to be accomplished and ensure the issue is resolved," he said.
He said possible issues he might concentrate on include the installation of hand dryers in dormitories. In addition Lichtenstein said he wants to improve communication between students and administrators.
"I'm not exactly sure what form it will take," he said, "whether it will be a website or a forum or a newsletter."
Lichtenstein joins the Senate for his first time at its weekly meeting this Sunday.
The Elections Board did not return phone calls last night.
