Why do we call him a President if this sub-society in most respects fails to be democratic?
OH, maybe because Presidents these days ARE grandfathered in and overly concerned with money.
Why don't we just take Rex's son and throw him on the throne?
Okay, low blows, right?
I'd say as far as a President goes, genuine connections is the key. We need someone who isn't out of touch with the reason the institution exists: the students. Another key quality to be is open-mindedness. This school has a lot of traditions, but the key to tradition is that it is reviewed periodically to see if it makes sense with the current situation. To quote Anchorman which quoted Bob Dylan, "the times they are a-changing" and our age group is on the forefront of those changes. Perhaps someone who is a little younger would be the most suitable candidate - someone who can appreciate the world in which we were raised and see where we're coming from. Diplomacy is another key issue. The truth of the matter is, we have boards and donors and onlookers all who feel they need to be appeased. Basically, as with almost everything, balance is the key here.
