...student body. This year, as Stewart has acknowledged, the council's leaders largely retreated into the council itself and into behind-the-scenes negotiations with administrators. Such a return to the closed-door, inner-circle style of the council's past squanders the opportunity presented by popular elections: to speak to and for thousands of students, focusing our attention and energies on the major concerns...
Stauffer and the other seven recipients of the Top Eight will be recognized at a banquet in San Antonio, Texas on Jan. 10 where one of the eight winners will be chosen to speak on behalf of the group. Last year's speaker was 1997 Heisman Trophy winner Peyton Manning, whose speech is currently being featured on a national commercial for the NCAA...

Now Fred spends his days hanging out at the local senior-citizen center and responding to numerous requests from kids to come speak at their schools. Tuttle dedicated his $600 in left-over campaign funds to the Tunbridge public library, and he is going back into the movie business. Tuttle's biggest campaign boost was his role in neighbor and campaign-manager John O'Brien's satiric film Man with a Plan, about an upstart...
