Unfortunately, the new “campus-wide events” didn’t turn out so well. The UC’s Campus Life Committee (CLC), flush with cash, petered it away on poorly planned and expensive events, culminating in a $30,000 cancellation fee for last fall’s Wyclef Jean (non-)concert. After that debacle, the Council effectively un-funded the CLC, divvying up some of what was left of its $100,000 budget among House Committees (HoCos) and party funds. Then the UC lopped off the CLC and left campus-wide social programming...
...still receives all of the money once spent on the CLC. As the new Council takes office this week, it is imperative that it publicly discuss how it will spend the money originally attained with a mandate to organize campus-wide social events...
House Committee funding, where much of the old CLC funding is already earmarked, is a good start. In the past we have argued that supplying HoCos with the resources to throw house-wide events is one of the best ways to build community on campus.

An increased party fund is also a worthy use of some of the funds, too—and last year, some CLC money was spent there—since the UC requires its funded...
...increased HoCo and party funding accounts for a bit more than half of the old CLC budget, and the UC must consider where to put the rest—which amounts to about $50,000, or a little over 10 percent of the Council’s total budget. (Last year, $30,000 was lost with Wyclef, and the rest was divided between First Year Social Committee grants, a few stein clubs, subsidized shuttle busses, and a few other projects.) What the UC should not do is simply pour the balance into its general grants fund for student groups. While...
After a year of negotiations, a dispute between Felipe’s Taqueria and its landlord may keep the Harvard Square Mexican food restaurant from extending its late-night hours.During a June 20 hearing before the Cambridge License Commission (CLC), Commission Chairman Richard Scali postponed a ruling on the extension until a July 25 CLC meeting.If granted the extended hours, Felipe’s would be one of the few establishments in Harvard Square able to serve food until 4 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Felipe’s would also be allowed to operate until...
