The council initially rejected Davis' petition even though it had been signed by more than 10 percent of the undergraduate population.
According to the council's constitution, "any question can be committed to a referendum or poll by the council or by a petition signed by one-tenth of the Undergraduates."
Epps threatened to intervene and force the council to conduct the referendum. But Davis was already organizing a second petition effort and finally succeeded in placing all five issues on the ballot according to Gabay's rules.
Last month, leaders from BGLSA and the Civil Liberties Union at Harvard (CLUH) presented Rudenstine with a petition signed by 508 undergraduates demanding that the University return their share of tuition money used to support ROTC.
Emily C. McNeal '93, one of the circulators of the petition, said last May that more students didn't sign the petition because they were "worried something would happen to them."
