through," Wilcox said. "There are no others with the resources, time, or limited mandate."
If the Faculty approves the election amendment to the Fainsod report, the report itself, and the permanent Rights Committee in January, then the HUC will stage a referendum on the whole proposed program early in February, followed by an election to the four committees.
Hanify is negotiating with Dean Ford for a "student activities fee" of $8 to $10, half of which would go to the Student Council, half to the various House committees. While Ford has the power to take the money from unrestricted Faculty funds, Hanify said, "ultimately, the student will pay."
One of the reasons the HUC has been so ineffective, Hanify said, is that its operating budget-dependent solely on contributions-has been hovering around $3000 a year. "That's less than one cent per student per week," he said.
The Student Council funds would go for hiring secretaries, and for printing and distribution of Council meeting minutes. "Let's face it," Wilcox said, "the solution to the student government problem has got to be an economic one-money is power."
