...David S. Goodman '97-'98 for providing some necessary comic relief in the sweltering air of Ticknor Lounge. Cleemann reiterated a commonly held sentiment about the council as "aristocratic debate society superimposed on a high school dance committee." Kaufman, standing tall with his hands on his hips, exuded Midwestern charm.
