The council also considered several potentially controversial grant applications that had been previously tabled.

After assurances that the Orthodox Christian Fellowship and the Reformed Christian Fellowship do not deny membership to non-Christians, their grants were approved.

The council referred the grant for the Prefect Program back to FiCom, where it will likely receive a sizable grant.

Questions had arisen as to whether the program should be funded solely by the Freshman Dean’s Office, and whether the program constituted academic advising, which would be outside the council’s purview. The council deemed the program an extracurricular organization deserving of funding.

After quick approvals for several other grants, the council overwhelmingly passed a resolution encouraging the College to allow first-year students keycard access to upperclass Houses.

After deciding to postpone the substantial remainder of last night’s agenda, the council adjourned as a security guard accosted Chopra for failing to vacate the council’s Sever Hall meeting room at the scheduled time of 9 p.m.

To the amusement of the few lingering representatives, the guard demanded Chopra’s identification number, which he recorded.
