"The last time I ran, it was a rottenexperience," Fine added. "There were some[campaign] posters [in North House] that were notso friendly."

Fine also said he is not sure whether he wantsto put in the effort. The constant criticism hefaced as a council member has taken its toll, hesaid.

"Last spring, me and Mike [Beys] worked really,really hard, and for nothing," Fine said.

Although he believes the council is "doingfine" this year, Fine said the boby has importantstructural problems he believes could be bestcorrected from within.

He also said he is somewhat dissatisfied withthe council's campus presence.

"The council isn't doing as much as I wouldhave liked," Fine said. "I feel it should havebeen taking on a lot more."

For his part, Beys said he hopes Fine will run,but also doubts he'll pursue the seat.

"I think he's one of the greats," Beys said."The things he accomplished are really amazing."

But Beys added: "I think he 's kind of had it,at least for this year.
