Both debates were couched in laudatory remarks by council officers who congratulated representatives on a year of service.
Council Vice President Kamil E. Redmond '00 began the meeting with what she called a Benadryl-influenced final message to the council.
"I'm slightly doped, so bear with me," said the cold-stricken Redmond before encouraging council members to "keep fighting."
"Trust me, I know the U.C. isn't the sexiest of organizations to be a member of," she said, "but you have stayed around to represent your constituents... Thank you for being a voice."
Redmond also talked about the roadblocks she encountered leading the council with President Noah Z. Seton '00, asking, "Who would have thought that this conservative former Republican [Club] president and this self-described loud progressive could get along?"
"It hasn't been the smoothest transition, but I think many of the concerns Noah and I raised and still raise got played out in the forum of the U.C.," she said.
Seton agreed, calling Redmond his "partner-in-crime" and saying he considered their political marriage a success so far.
