In a meeting last night during which the Undergraduate Council passed five bills with little dissent, the only real debate was over the success or failure of the council's Saturday night dance in honor of St. Patrick's Day and Spirit Week.
According to Vladimir A. Kleyman '02, who organized last week's council effort to generate spirit on campus through themed dress-up days, the dance was a definite, if not overwhelming, success.
Kleyman reported to the council that about 150 students attended the dance. Since most attendees got in at the discounted $3 price by wearing green, the council lost $160 of the $650 it spent on the dance.
But this loss, according to Kleyman, was "not necessarily a bad thing."
"Judging from the number of random hook-ups at the end people had a lot of fun," said Kleyman.
Some council members, however, were not so sure that the dance could be called a success.
Kyle D. Hawkins '02, who did not attend the dance, said the attendance figure of 150 was not too impressive.
"That's two-thirds of the council and a date," Hawkins said.
