And 150 students are 150 more than were expected by Student Affairs Committee chair Michael D. Shumsky '00, who predicted last week that no one would show up to a dry council-sponsored St. Patrick's Day dance in the Quad.
Shumsky, who was the only Executive Board member not to help set up, said he had only good things to say about the dance.
"Congratulations to Vlad and the council," said Shumsky, who said he was criticized for attacking the event last week. "It was wonderful to see them pull off this dance against all odds."
In other business, the council formed a task force to investigate the possibility of letting student groups use council office space, allocated money for Springfest amusements and council feedback cards and agreed to sponsor an Ivy Council-led community service day and a first-year faculty dinner.
None of the bills encountered any serious opposition.
Council Vice President John A. Burton '01 sponsored the feedback card bill--his first of the semester--which allocates $55 towards facilitating student input on the council and passed easily.
