Capp stressed in his speeches and after the meeting that he would commit himself to reforms to Finance Committee and to improving CLC...
...what the rest of the UC Executive Board had in mind. If the UC’s top leadership expected Nichols to be the same sort of Vice President as former VP Michael R. Blickstead ’05—a former member of the Campus Life Committee (CLC)—they were mistaken. The difference in backgrounds between Blickstead and Nichols—Nichols had been elevated to VP from his position as Vice Chair of the Finance Committee (FiCom)—meant that the two differed widely in their specialties and their basic understandings...
...most significant change the UCRC has suggested is the direct election of candidates to each of the UC’s three committees. For years, UC critics have noted that students tend generally to favor service on the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) first, followed by the Campus Life Committee (CLC) and the Finance Committee. Under the old system, the House candidate garnering the highest percentage of the vote picked his or her first-choice committee, while the second and third-place winners were often placed on committees with missions they weren’t as passionate about. The new system...
...only possible downside to this change lies in the inevitable politicking that will happen as sophomore UC-reps run their first races in the Houses. We may see sophomores running for CLC, even though they were on SAC as freshmen, just to ensure their election to the UC. Though this might seem to undermine the overarching goal of guaranteeing every UC rep’s earnest motivation to work on his or her respective committee, that many sophomores have defeated junior and senior incumbents in the past suggests otherwise.

...vice president as head of both a new UC standing rules and reform committee and a new UC-student group forum is also a positive step in light of the ad hoc responsibilities VPs have held thus far. Requiring the Harvard Concert Commission to report to the CLC is a step we have called for in the past—accountability must go hand-in-hand with responsibility. And though we endorsed a split ticket for UC president and vice president this year, ticket-based voting as suggested by the UCRC will ultimately ensure that the upper leadership...
