Christian J. Carrillo '01 said he was upset that his choice, Fred Rogers, host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, did not make the cut.
"My roommate and I are adamant supporters of Mr. Rogers delivering the address," he said.
Ghartey-Tagoe presides over the Class Day Committee of 25 seniors, who have the special task of organizing events for the senior class throughout the school year.
"This year, we thought giving the Class of 2001 the opportunity to chose their first and second choices would make the selection as inclusive as possible," Ghartey-Tagoe said.
She added that once the list is narrowed down, the names on the final list will be kept confidential to avoid giving them any perceived order.
"We don't want any speaker that we do invite to feel as though they were number nine on the list," Ghartey-Tagoe said.
According to Ghartey-Tagoe, someone in the senior class must have a personal connection with the suggested speaker for Harvard to be able to get one of the final choices. The committee, she said, does not want to "cold call" any of the candidates.
