.The Undergraduate Council's financialstatements would be audited by the University eachsemester. "The U.C. needs to increase itsfinancial accountability and that's how to do it,"Anger said.

A standing committee would be created tooversee council elections, headed by Dean ofStudents Archie C. Epps III. "With all of theproblems we had with disputed elections this year,the reason for this committee should be obvious toanyone who wants elections to be conductedfairly."

Some new ideas for Undergraduate Council reformthat emerged from the meeting included thecreation of a council member-at-large status.

"If there are only two delegates per house theelections will become a lot more competitive, andwe don't want really dedicated people to be shutout of the U.C. entirely," Anger said.

Other issues addressed included the council'stax status and the grant allocation process.

Anger likened the reform coalition to a"consulting firm. We need to work from the outsidebecause talking about the U.C. structure with U.C.members always turns into a defensiveconversation."

But Anger insists that she harbors only respectfor the Undergraduate Council's presentleadership. "Because I respect the leaders rightnow so much, it's hard for me to see such goodpeople trying to work within such a poorstructure."

Anger said the reform coalition's goal is tochange the Undergraduate Council in the mostpeaceful manner possible, but maintained that hergroup's autonomy is essential to that end.

"The council needs to examine itself, but it'sin a very bad position to do that [itself]," Angersaid. "There's a reason why firms don't haveinternal consulting departments."

Anger foresees the reform coalition eventuallyproducing a new Undergraduate Councilconstitution. "The rumors that we are trying tooverthrow the U.C. are only halftrue," Anger said."Student government has been too long out ofstudents' hands, and we're trying to give themback their say."

Undergraduate Council President Carey W. Gabay'94 said he does not see the reform group as athreat to the council.

"If they want to exist, they'll exist," hesaid. "I don't expect that they will affect usmuch."

But Epps expressed hope that the council willbe open to reforming itself. He said he shunneddirect involvement in the reform group because"it's always best if the students discuss thingsamongst themselves."

"This is not an anti-U.C. movement--ifanything, this is my final act of devotion to theU.C. because I love it enough to want to changeit," Anger said. She will graduate at the end ofthis semester.
