...most of you are currently unaware, the Council is undergoing major reform this weekend. There are initiatives to make the Campus Life Committee, the group which organizes such events as the Gala Ball, Springfest, and shuttle rides at Thanksgiving and Christmas, a volunteer committee outside the Council.

That, Fujimori vowed, he would never agree to. He gave the negotiations a try, if only to mask preparations for the assault.
