Vellucci Given Gargoyle Award; Explains Role as Public Servant

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Cambridge City Councillor Alfred E. Vellucci, speaking before the Gargoyle staff last night, was honored with the humor magazine's annual George Burroughs Award for distinguished service.

The Award commemorates George Burroughs 1640, the only Harvardman to be burned as a witch.

Vellucci avoided conscious humor in an effort to explain his role as a dedicated public servant, "representing the people of Cambridge." Vellucci explained, "I do not represent Harvard, Brattle Street, the rich people, or any other group; I represent the poor guy who needs my help." Vellucci continued, "It's nothing new to me to be woken up at 3 a.m. to get a drunk out of jail and back to his family."

Vellucci charged that "some other Councillors who are making $25,000 a year" do not have similar interests.
