"If the final clubs were to allow women, I certainly think it would make them a more integral part of Harvard social life," said Nancy L. Slotnick '89, who voted against the resolution because she said co-ed clubs would still discriminate against students who could not afford membership dues.

In response to Slotnick's comment, AndreasBeroutsos '88, who vocally opposed both proposals,said, "This is a woman."

Jonathan Leff '90 spoke against passing aresolution in support of Schkolnick's cause,arguing that forcing clubs to admit women wouldinfringe of individual freedom.

"Those who support this resolution are in factsacrificing freedom to impose their own vision onour society," Leff said.

But Robert J. Greenstein '89 countered, "Whenour actions affect others,...their action has tobe accountable to the entire community."

And council member Robert Weissman '88-'89 saidthat a no-vote on the resolution would havegreater political impact than passage of the moralstatement.

The council voted down a proposal by JenniferCopaken '90 to table the resolution pending acampus-wide referendum. The council then voteddown the statement of support, 40 to 35.

Of the five council members who are also infinal clubs, four were present and all votedagainst the resolution. The vote of the 26 womencouncil members present split evenly, 13 to 13. Ofthe men not in final clubs, 27 voted in favor ofthe resolution, compared to 21 against it.

SWAT Granted Funds

The measure appropriating money for StopWithholding Access Today (SWAT), a student groupformed to raise money and build support forSchkolnick's complaint, passed by a margin of 21votes. All four final club members again votedagainst the proposal.

Supporters of the measure said the funding wasnecessary to ensure that both sides of the finalclub issue be heard.

"This is an issue the Harvard community has toget resolved for itself," Liazos said.

Schkolnick, who spoke at the end of the debate,said she needed the money because the Fly Clubcould afford a legal battle. "I don't own realestate, I have nothing," she said.

Opponents of funding SWAT said the councilshould not give financial support to groups thattake a partisan side to a debate.

"The council during its regular grant processhas made it a policy not to grant money to anorganization that does not present a balanced viewof the issues," Warren said.
