...thousand dollars lost in good faith is still ten thousand dollars. Between negotiation fees for the defunct Snoop Dogg Springfest concert and the under-attended Campus Life Committee (CLC) event “Havana on the Harbor,” Harvard’s Undergraduate Council (UC) is in the red for a near-five-figure sum. But although the negotiation fees were unavoidable expenses as the UC sought to secure a top-shelf act, Havana on the Harbor was an unmitigated waste of student money.

Without lighting for the second event, the raging afterparty would turn into an evening of stargazing. Different committee members offered their two cents, from the name of a company that does lighting to the name of their favorite brand of light bulb...
