The motion to divide the funds was co-sponsored by Gabay, campus lifecommittee Co-Chair Joshua D. Liston '95, andfinance committee Chair Jamila A. Braswell '94.

The motion required the suspension of budgetroll-over by-laws, which would have required thefunds to be deposited into the campus lifecommittee's account.

First-term member Anjalee C. Davis '94presented a counter motion which would haveresulted in house committees receiving the surplusfunds.

In a heated debate which resulted in a motionfor the appointment of a sergeant-at-arms by RuddW. Coffey '97, Davis and Gabay faced off overconstitutional details.

Council Secretary Cynthia A. Johnson '96, whowas chairing the floor debate at the time, deniedDavis's request for a point of personal privilege.

When challenged, Johnson replied, "twoparliamentary wrongs don't make a right,"prompting Coffey to chastise "the chaos in thisroom."
