As of yesterday afternoon, a petition calling for the referendum had been signed by 820 students, well beyond the 663 needed to force a vote, said Anjalee C. Davis '96, a former council member who organized the effort.
"If the referendum goes through, we'll have a student government that truly represents the students, and that the administration won't be able to ignore," said Davis, who resigned from the council in February and is taking the semester off.
Davis' petition effort was supported by sevenhouse committees, which helped table for thereferendum in dining halls. Davis herself tabledin North House and the Freshman Union.
But Davis said she opposed allowing the councilto administer a vote on its own fate.
"It would be biased if the U.C. ran thereferendum," Davis said. "These are desperate,unpopular leaders clinging to power."
