Last night, the Undergraduate Council unanimously passed its "Financial Aid for Student Tickets Resolution," designed to help low-income students pay for College and House events.

The next step, say council members, is to find a way to finance the bill.

The bill calls for the College to offer eight $5 vouchers to all students whose parents contribute $2,000 or less to their educational expenses-approximately 500 College students.

According to Todd E. Plants `01, chair of the council's Student Affairs Committee, the vouchers will help students attend events such as House formals and performances.

"Everyone has had the experience where they've asked their friend to a dance and they've said no because money is tight," Plants said. "No one should be priced out of being a Harvard student."

The idea for event vouchers was presented before members of the College administration on April 20 at a meeting of the Committee on College Life (CCL).

Plants said CCL was receptive to the idea of event vouchers but was concerned about how to pay for them.

Council President Paul A. Gusmorino `02 said the most likely option is securing donations from alumni and parents.
