Lamelle D. Rawlins '99 and Michael A. O'Mary '99, who are running for president and vice-president as a ticket, submitted a petition for a referendum on the council's grant allocations at Sunday's council meeting.
The council's petition to the state legislature was a response to the state's decision to license U.S. Shuttle Inc. in October, a move which reversed the city license commission's ruling, according to Born.
The petition, which began circulating Friday, mandates that the council allocate 65 percent of its $120,000 budget to student groups. The council currently budgets 63 percent.
If the petition is signed by 10 percent of the student body, a campus-wide referendum will be held within three weeks, perhaps during the presidential election itself.
Undergraduate Council presidential candidate Lamelle D. Rawlins '99 says her complex proposal to revamp the council's budget priorities--now being circulated as a referendum petition--would give students more control over "how their own money is spent."
