In addition to Goldberg and Brown, other seniors selected were: Andrew S. Chung '01 of Cabot House, Fentrice D. Driskell '01 of Mather House, Kenneth N. Ebie '01 of Dunster House, Jesse R. Elzinga '01 of Leverett House, Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe '01 of Mather, Chanda K. Ho '01 of Pforzheimer and Thomas Christopher King '01 of Leverett.

In addition, seniors selected Diarra K. Lamar '01 of Lowell House, Matthew S. O'Hare '01 of Currier House, Carsten Schwarting '01 of Kirkland House, Michael E. Thakur '01 of Quincy House, Karen C. Tseng '01 of Adams, Xunhua Wong '01 of Dunster and Howard "Welles" Wulsin '01 of Eliot House.

According to Tseng, many candidates sent out e-mail messages to friends, and relied on the power of word-of-mouth to get out the vote.

"I focused on explaining how I've been involved in our class through a variety of ways and why I wanted to do this," Tseng said. "I then told my friends to vote as they saw fit."

The eight class marshals will comprise the core of the Class Committee. The committee is also composed of a representative elected from each of the Houses, as well as a secretary and a treasurer who will be selected later.

The committee will help organize senior class events, such as Class Day, Senior Bar and Commencement. After graduation, committee members serve as alumni coordinators, planning reunions and keeping contact with class members.

"As alumni, the marshals' primary role will be to hold the class together," HAA's Martinez said.
