Lauren Lafaro '02 was elected Vice President of the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council last night, nine days after an unusual election in which no one ran for that position on the Greek council.
Yesterday's vice-presidential election, which was held at Everything But Anchovies restaurant, drew five candidates -- compared to one for the presidential contest last week -- and all except Lafaro were males.
"This election was better publicized, that was the big thing," Shihwan Chung '02, president of the CFSC, said, explaining the substantial increase in candidate interest.
While Chung described all the candidates as "very qualified" for the position, he said there is an advantage to having a female as a senior executive on the council.
Lafaro is a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority. She could not be reached for comment last night.
In last year's election , there were four candidates for president and five for vice president.
Chung attributed this year's lower candidancy numbers not to flagging interest in the organization but more because of poorly publicized elections. However he called yesterday's election "a good contest."
Other members on the council include Sarita Hudgins '03 as programming liasion, Tracy Davis '01 as assistant programming liasion, Kari Hacker '02 as treasurer, William Trepp '02 as secretary and Shayan Bhattacharyya '01 as events manager.
