...hour service. Warning: While you may run into your fair share of stoners here satisfying their slurpee and ice cream needs, don't even think about asking for rolling papers. It won't be well received. Location: corner of JFK and My. Auburn, where all the bums hang...
Admittedly, as wonderful as this idea is, doubts about the UC’s ability to execute it are valid. Raising $600,000 over the summer to put a down payment on 45 Mt. Auburn will be extraordinarily difficult. The UC is not famed for its efficiency or organizational prowess, and it would really have to step up its game to make this project a success. Nevertheless, we are the last who should underestimate the capacity of our peers and the Harvard network. Moreover, centrally situated Cambridge real estate does not come on the market every year, and this opportunity...

Therefore, in its prospective plans to investigate a purchase of 45 Mt. Auburn Street—the building that formerly housed the Democracy Center—the Undergraduate Council makes a noble attempt to address the important problem of social space at Harvard. Yet purchasing 45 Mt. Auburn may not present the solution that the Council hopes...

But, by the same token, these benefits would be small, especially given the space constraints—there are approximately 6,000 undergraduates at the College and room for only a few hundred in the Mt. Auburn Street property. Also, there is the thorny issue of the UC’s ties to the administration and the potential impact this...
...necessary amount of money in the proposed time frame—a daunting $600,000 by September, followed by several million over an extended period of time—especially given the current economic climate. We therefore do not recommend that the UC pursue the purchase of 45 Mt. Auburn Street, as the plan is unlikely to be successful and may detract from other valuable goals and projects...
