Then, in its final act of business this semester, the council amended the name of the Rudd Coffey Award, annually given to an outstanding senior council member who has not held council office, to the Coffey-Rollert Award--in honor of long-time member John Paul Rollert '00-'01.
Rollert headed the council's Student Affairs Committee when it instituted Fly-by, student-faculty dining and the Brain Break.
"To not have John Paul's name on this award is a travesty," member Todd E. Plants '01 said. "He's given more to the council than all the rest of us combined."
Finally, the council bade farewell to outgoing council President Fentrice D. Driskell '01 and Vice President John A. Burton '01.
Reflecting on his controversial tenure, which began a year ago with his impeachment, Burton thanked his friends and supporters for their help over the course of the year.
"It's time for me to go," Burton concluded. "Play nice, all of you."
Speaking to an unusually quiet council, Driskell then thanked the council for its hard work over the course of the year, offering advice to members to "be humble,...remember to treat everyone with kindness...and never let anyone tell you what you cannot do."
