Baxter People

PRESIDENT Will Loverme '02 Fresh from a trip to the Henley Royal Regatta, an international showplace where rowing and high society meet to tryst shamelessly, Will is now ready to become the third President of Baxter. Doubtless, he's packed his suitcase full of crew metaphors like, "Let's all pull our oars" and "Watch out for the bridge," and will apply them to his daily executive tasks. He'll be our primary representative to the administration and alumni, in addition to daily duties like running meetings and "motivating the female constituency".

VICE-PRESIDENT August "And Everything After" Felker '03 Known for his prowess as a "frosh sensation" on the tennis courts, August hopes to beat the sophomore jinx as he makes the jump from Moore to Baxter. We'll be counting on him to work closely with Will, and we're sure glad we included that clause in the constitution about "authority in the absence of the President." Hahaha, we're kidding of couse. Kind of.

TREASURER Edmund DiVito '02 . Groomed for fiscal stardom in the seedy auction rooms of Ebay, Ed surfed the net into his spot on the slate of Baxter officers. Expect a move towards IPO in the early fall and a diversion of resources away from pizza and dirty movies. This "money kid" should keep us on the right track.

PROGRAMMING CHAIRS Ali George '03 and Erica Wintermuth '02 This dynamic duo will help the house in dreaming up new and different events (academic, volunteer, and social), and aid in planning these programs. They are also the Baxter liasons to the A-Board. Ali proved her dedication to the house by slogging up to Waterville during the scavenger hunt, and riding the Colby mule to victory. Erica stepped up into the position in the spring to fill the shoes of dynamo Lauren Fitch, and was quite a benevolent force. Look for them both to continue Baxter's positive momentum.

SECRETARIES Jack Dempsey '02 (fall) and Gordon Clark '03(spring) Picked mostly for their ability to entertain the members community with sunny emails, this formidable pair will form the "spin control" arm of the LoVerme regime. Jack showed wit and grit as he assumed the reins of the much feted "Baxter Bulletin" last year, and we're all hoping that Gordon emerges from his blue period in time to fill the slot in the spring.

HISTORIANS Mike Lieser '01 and Mike Ritter '02Though past posessors of this role have set lofty benchmarks (ahem), this tag-team of Mikes seeks to take the office far beyond simple resume fodder. Perhaps they will even record some of Baxter's history. That's the idea.

FIRST-YEAR REPRESENTATIVES: To be elected (Fall)

UPPERCLASSMEN REPRESENTATIVESTo be elected(Fall)

HOUSE PROCTOR Liz Feeherry '01 The search party had been organized, but Liz trudged back from an extended sojourn in Europe just before we had to go over there and get her. Building on her experience as Secretary and IM Goddess she now assumes the monniker of "House Mother." Liz is a key ResLife liason who will smooth over our gaffes, stabilize our academically scarred egos, and, when we truly break down, offer frequent worldly antecdotes opening something like, "When I was in Venice..."

"GOD" Mike Prendergast '00 Rumors abound that old Prender will be in the Metropolitan Brunswick area for the '00-'01 school year. Should he return, the house will undoubtedly benefit from the wisdom of one of its founders, and the mastermind behind such blockbuster events as the Road War.

The Strip In case you were wondering, Baxter has colonized the Pine Street apartments. This is the house with the most active upperclassman population (it's been tested) and you'll find 98% of the ODB out beneath the pines. Lauren Fitch, Melissa Goodrich, Perrin Lawrence, Erin McDonough, Justin DeGeorge, Erik Pletcher, and "Mr President" Tommy Ryan are your source for all of ye olde thyme Baxter yarns

Natty Waters '00 Always full of irony, like that "trying to graduate" crack last year, Nat is back back for one last spin. Though the college has declined his application for Doctoral candidacy, he'll still get to revel in the middle of the debacle. According to Nat, "At least this produces a philosophical truth: If knowledge is good (see mission), and I know that I will be at Baxter this year, then that means that Baxter is good!" When not churning out convoluted logic, you might find him on the Intramural fields, or in his RA slot in the Brunswick apartments.
