The council also approved a grant of $3,000 to the house committees of the three Quad houses to help them put on a Quad carnival next September.

The council made its support contingent on the event being advertised in all houses and the council being given credit as a co-sponsor.

The carnival is planned for the day after registration next fall.

Liston successfully introduced a $3,077 expenditure to donate an additional Stairmaster for the Malkin Athletic Center and $577 to the Quad Recreational Athletic Center.

The council also passed a bill to ask the Faculty Council to allow students to receive a full refund of the council fee when they exercise their term-bill check off option, sponsored by Campus Life Committee Co-chair Rudd W. Coffey '97.

Three measures to reform the council's constitution were introduced and inconclusively brought to vote with little debate.

The first would extend the deadline for the Select Committee on Undergraduate Requirements to submit its report on reform of the Core curriculum so that it can make a more through study.

The second would allow a committee co-chair to exercise a full vote in executive board meetings if the other co-chair is not in attendance. It would also give a committee vice-chair the right to participate in meetings as if he or she were the chair if the chair is not in attendance.

The third would allow more council members to participate on the finance committee if they so desire.

All three reform measures were voted on but will not be decided until next week's meeting because barely half of council members were in attendance last night.
