The council previously rejected an amendment that would allow certain members to serve on more than one committee.

Last night it considered an amendment, proposed by Cohen, that would eliminate the requirement that every House be represented on each committee.

Cohen argued that randomization and the loss of Houses' individual characters made the requirement unnecessary.

A roll call vote revealed strong support for Cohen's amendment, though members will have a week to vote via e-mail. Three-fourths of the entire council will have to vote for the amendment for it to pass.

The council also passed a number of bylaw amendments, though members failed to come to consensus on the line of succession should both the council president and vice president be unable to fulfill their duties.

However, it was tough for members to take one another too seriously in their disagreements, given many members' goofy interpretations of Driskell's request to wear "formal/semi-formal attire."

Three Finance Committee members wore tuxedos--one of them with a sweatband and tennis shoes.

Michael A. Hill '01 wore a leopard-print shirt and hemp dog collar.
