The Class of 1995 elected its Senior Class Board with only half the turnout of last year, College senior and Senior Class Board Vice President Robbyn Leventhal said last night, and several run-off elections remain to be held. "I think it is because not as many people ran this year," she said. "Last year, there were more candidates and double the amount of people voting." Leventhal said only 700 juniors participated in the election. The two finalists for Senior Class Board president are Wharton junior Jason Diaz, the current Junior Class Board president, and College junior Loren Mendell. College junior Leigh Molinari will serve as vice president. Molinari is currently Junior Class Board president. College junior Mike Rosenfield and Wharton junior Manny Citron were elected as secretary and treasurer, respectively. The Senior Class Board Historian will be College junior Ari Pundit, who ran unopposed. Juniors Robyn Kestenbaum and Jerome Schneider will serve as representatives for the College of Arts and Sciences. Junior Mandy Higgins will serve as the Nursing School representative and Karen Oberthaler was elected as representative from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. There was a tie for the position of the Wharton School of Business' representative between Elin Brenner and Dan Spears. Kestenbaum said she is "excited" about her new position. "I hope to plan things for the entire senior class to come together and participate in the events," she said. "It's so rare for that to happen, and that's the whole point of the Board." Kestenbaum said she is anxious to begin planning activities, especially Hey Day, which is scheduled for April 22. "I think they'll do a great job," Leventhal said. "And some people have experience through [the Junior Class Board] too." Runoffs for the positions of president and Wharton representative will take place Monday in front of Steinberg-Dietrich Hall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
