Freshmen and sophomores elected their Class Boards for next year Monday and yesterday. Engineering sophomore Neil Sheth was re-elected president of the Class of 1997, according to senior class vice president and College junior Justin Feil, who coordinated the elections. Engineering sophomore Alex McClennan will be next year's vice president. Of eligible sophomores, 20 percent voted, according to Feil. Sixteen percent of freshmen cast ballots. Engineering sophomore John Boyle was re-elected secretary, College sophomore Rebecca Waranch will serve as treasurer and College sophomore Jason Brenner was re-elected vice president for corporate sponsorship. College sophomore Hayley Lattman will be the College representative for the Class of 1997. Engineering sophomore Shilpi Kansal was elected Engineering representative. Nursing sophomore Shari Glubo will be the Nursing representative, and Wharton sophomore Jason Sturman will be the Wharton representative. The Class of 1998 re-elected Engineering freshman Brett Lasher president for next year, Feil said. College freshman Elliot Geller, a College representative to the freshman board this year, will be vice president next year. College freshman Devra Jaffe will be the class secretary, Wharton freshman Craig Meyers will be the treasurer and Wharton freshman Ryan Anderson was re-elected vice president for corporate sponsorship. College freshmen Jill Cooper and incumbent Adam Eisner, a Daily Pennsylvanian staff writer, will be the College representatives on next year's board. Engineering freshman Nicole Miller was re-elected Engineering representative, Nursing sophomore Anjana Ali, an incumbent, will be the Nursing representative and Wharton freshman Jeff Gold will represent Wharton. Feil said the elections ran very smoothly. "There were no controversies," he said, adding that this was primarily because there were "fewer itsy-bitsy rules to follow, no violations and no complaints." Geller said next year's Sophomore Class Board is looking forward to a fun term of office. "We want to make sure that this is the most enjoyable time of our lives," he said. "If freshman year wasn't the best year of your life, next year will be. We guarantee it." Daily Pennsylvanian staff writer Randi Feigenbaum contributed to this article.
