...vice-chair of services, Raul A. Campillo ’09, advocated that the CLC continue as a committee in charge of student services and take on additional duties, including lobbying for a student center and raising money for a UC endowment fund. “Efficiency does not equal smaller numbers. Efficiency equals enthusiasm, energy, good leadership, clear mandates and direction,” Grimeland wrote over and over again in a flurry of e-mails to the UC-General list, responding to claims that a smaller council would be more productive. ‘INTERNAL REFORM GIVES BLINDERS...

The UC (specifically, the CLC) has struggled in the past in providing airport shuttles during recess and cardboard boxes during move-out.
