The president also noted that many of thecouncil's larger social projects, such as nextweek's Yardfest, were funded by unspent funds fromthe year before, or roll-over. Since the roll-overis steadily declining, such events would beimpossible in the future without an increase inthe term bill fee, he said.
Davis objected to the fact that the additionalterm bill fee would not be covered in studentfinancial aid packages.
Davis also questioned whether the council'sconduct in handling her petition--which she hasdescribed as "arrogant"--should be rewarded withmore money.
Another Referendum?
Epps indicated last week that the College wouldconsider holding a referendum on all five of theissues on Davis' petition if the council itselffailed to do so.
And a repeat of the referendum is likely if theCollege moves to invalidate this week balloting.
Early indications are that the term bill hikeis likely to be opposed by student voters. But thebigger loss could be to the council's credibility.
"It should like things are a bit out ofcontrol," Epps said Thursday night," "and I thinkthe administration is going to have to take a moreactive role."
