...students who have turned to club sports as their extracurricular activity, funding is largely lacking. The Department of Athletics currently budgets $10,000-$15,000 per year for the twenty-nine club sports—or about $400 per sport—which is an appallingly low number considering the costs that each team might face. From intercollegiate travel to coaching fees and equipment expenses, club sports, which, unlike many other organizations, are an inherently expensive endeavor, are left to fend for themselves with this paltry sum and their own fundraising devices. We believe that these organizations, which provide...
...Although many areas of extracurricular life are currently underfunded, club sports find themselves in a particularly difficult situation since they are under the purview of the Department of Athletics, which has traditionally—and understandably—devoted its resources to varsity sports. Yet with the high costs of these teams, and the limited resources of the Undergraduate Council (UC) and small-scale fundraisers, club sports cannot depend on typical student group fundraising techniques, either. For example, the men’s rugby team’s proposed budget for their spring trip to nationals is $42,000, which...
...about the black-clad thing: The show’s portrayal of Manhattan’s Lower East Side club scene is woefully if harmlessly inaccurate. The cast members move like the kids from “Grease,” and the fashions of the times are reduced to a checkered tie. While I sympathize with the difficulties of a two-week rehearsal schedule, someone should have taken the time to find a few Duran Duran videos on YouTube...
...Guyanese government itself to comply with current international human rights law. Docherty encouraged students interested in helping those negatively affected by the Guyanese mining industry to support environmental research and human rights advocacy. Alexander C. Paddington ’07, publicity chair for the Harvard College Caribbean Club, expressed a willingness to collaborate with other student groups to help raise campus awareness about the issue. Paddington said that the club has not worked extensively on human rights issues in the past, but that problems such as those raised in the report could lead the organization to consider getting involved. Upholding...
...also members of those groups. The UC should not have hesitated to set aside $1,700 to benefit all undergraduates, particularly when it gives huge grants to small student groups. For instance, at the same meeting that the UC voted down funding the Times, the Harvard Polo Club got $1,000. At the very least, the UC should have passed a last-ditch amendment which would have still provided papers on the condition that HoCos foot half the bill. Since the bill failed, students have vented their disappointed to their UC representatives. We echo this sentiment and hope that...
