It took the Student Council three and one half hours of wrangling, 11 motions, and frequent consultation of Roberts' Rules to table a proposal for a Class of 1950 dance last night.
The proposal was defeated earlier in the evening, but when it came up for second vote it was given a simple majority. Since Council rules require a two-thirds majority, it was left for final settlement until next Monday.
Counter-proposals which were extensively debated were for a Class smoker, and for no Class social event, in spite of the provisions of the Paul Report, which require at least one a year for class unification. The reason given for the latter proposal was that the Council could not afford to underwrite a possible losing dance or smoker.
