* The council unanimously agreed to sponsor a survey on first-year academic advising.
* The council also allocated up to $600 for a dance on Jan. 31, the first night of the second semester. The dance will be held in the Freshman Union if possible, otherwise the council will rent out Loker Commons.
In remarks before the meeting began, Hyman and Blais both said they enjoyed working with the council this semester but wanted to take care of "unfinished business."
Hyman and Blais may well run unchallenged next month in the last internal officer selection before the council holds popular elections for its president and vice president in April.
Justin C. Label '97, a former council vice president who ran unsuccessfully for president in the fall, said in an interview last night that he will not challenge Hyman next month. In a separate interview, Campus Life Committee Co-chair Rudd W. Coffey '97 did not explicitly rule out a bid next month, but said he will "probably not" oppose Hyman.
"Rob's done a good job this semester," Coffey said.
Coffey has failed in previous presidential and vice presidential bids but has said that he will run again for president under popular elections
