Spin off the Campus Life Committee. The Reform Committee's proposal to allow this new committee to consist of both council members and other students is a good idea. Allowing more students to help organize campus-wide events like the Yale tailgate party and Springfest might help make those events more successful and lucrative. As a separate organization, the Campus Life Committee could have its own line on the term bill beneficially separating politics and social life on campus...
