The Organization of Town Independent Students last night elected new executives to represent student concerns in town issues for the 1991-92 school year.
The group elected Otis Vice President Nichol Barlett (junior-health policy administration) president, Julie Antonacci (junior-mathematics) vice president and Anne Colmenar (junior-English), treasurer.
OTIS is a group of student volunteers who help other students with town-related concerns.
The group reads leases, mediates complaints and prepares legal and consumer information.
Barlett said the organization needs to increase its involvement in the community and its presence on campus.
She suggested that OTIS work closely with such organizations as the Undergraduate Student Government so both students and administrators become more aware of the organization.
"OTIS has a very good potential do things," Barlett said. "We have a lot of great ideas."
Antonacci, said she wants to increase the effectiveness of the groups' six committees which address various issues such as housing, business and publicity.
"We (need) . . . to see what's going on and what needs to be done," she said.
While Barlett wants to increase the organization's presence, she also said she wants to strengthen the groups' image among its members.
"I think that would make people more motivated," she said, adding that she does not think OTIS members in general realize the organization's potential.
Current OTIS president Melissa Keller said Bartlett and Antonacci will be benefit the group.
Keller said they will be able to do things that were not accomplished this year.
