It was the changing of the guard at the Undergraduate Council's meeting last night, and newly installed Vice President John A. Burton '01 was once again expelled from the council for truancy.
In an emotional moment at the end of last night's meeting, outgoing council President Noah Z. Seton '00, clad, along with other outgoing council members, in black tie apparel, recalled the successes of his administration, including universal keycard access and making University Health Services more accountable to students.
In a peculiar juxtaposition of ceremonies, Burton was expelled from the council only minutes before he was installed as its vice president.
But Burton says he doesn't foresee any problems taking care of attendance, despite his own record. "I'll just be vice president," he says.
Burton was present for less than one full Finance Committee (FiCom) meeting of the three scheduled for the weeks after his first expulsion, netting him a total of five and a half absences.
