Feeney doesn't suffer from any of the problems we've listed so far. He does strike us as a bit too much of a politician, and we sometimes think he's involved in some old-fashioned croneyism with Coffey. All the same, his ideas and actions have been sound. He's strongly committed to direct elections of council executives and has been as active as Coffey in promoting council events. We therefore choose Feeney for president by process of elimination...
...Coffey is our choice for vice president because we believe it's important that he stay involved in council administration. In fact, we're a little surprised that he didn't run for the top job this year--perhaps he's saving that campaign for the full-year term a direct election could garner. We endorsed Coffey for president last year, and this year he stands out in the vice presidential field...
Image has become one of Coffey's assets. He had a false start in his first-year with his homeless-in-the-Square stunt, and last year we watched his Angry Pilgrim theatrics somewhat bemused. But if Coffey is anything, he's larger than life. Frequently making announcements in dining halls, everpresent at council tablings and events, Coffey has always been at the center of the action. In fact, we would expect him to overshadow any president the council elects--and that's not necessarily a bad thing...
...Coffey has a proven reputation as a mover and shaker. He has been an efficient organizer of the kind of events a glorified dance committee sponsors. Coffey's record of hard--though sometimes misguided--work makes him a fairly reliable candidate for vice president...
Even while endorsing Coffey, we have to admit that the rest of the vice presidential candidates are a far more impressive bunch than the presidential candidates; we'd almost prefer that the races were switched. Former Treasurer Brian K. Blais '97 has been a steady worker outside the limelight, and Bradford E. Miller '97 (who is a Crimson editor) has pushed for several pieces of pro-student council legislation...
