"The people who voted for the compromise didn't want to deal with it any more," Padilla said. "Some people were flippant about the money issue. Since it's House Committee money and not theirs, they don't really care."

But not everyone was upset with the compromise.

Daniel J. Kolodner '97, a former member of the Eliot House Committee, said he was pleased with the outcome of the meeting.

"I think the compromise is the important thing," he said. "Ninety-four dollars and 50 cents is not the end of the world, it's not like thousands of dollars."

"It went on for a long time, but there was miscommunication on both sides," he said. "It was settled agreeably. We should all move forward and put this behind us."

Eliot House Committee Treasurer Natashya L. Trejo '97 said she is glad the dispute has been resolved.

"I think we're just glad that we figured out an easy solution," she said. "Next time there's deal everything should be written down, none of these verbal agreements.
