The Squat amendment was voted down on the recommendation of the Committee on Committees.
The Council passed a resolution requesting the Publications Committee work with the Squat staff to improve the magazine through "more emphasis on creative writing and literary quality," and "more emphasis on humor, less on obscenity."
An amendment to change the name of Squat was given the first reading. A new name would be selected by the Publications Committee and the Squat staff before publication of the first issue next year.
