'''Bill Sacks '03''' was the second caller and leader of the Folk, taught by Ethan. His leadeship marked a shift in focus from coordinating travel to off-campus dances to a major increase in regular, well-attended, monthly campus dances. He led until his graduation (receiving major help with organization in his last year because his thesis was massive). Known for his excellent Abe Lincoln costume at the Halloween contra '01.
