Perhaps it is naive to think that the temptation to embezzle would cease if treasury records were audited more often. As long as wealthy organizations exist, the lure of siphoning off money may still prove to be great for a few people. More administrative control is probably not desirable either, since most likely the financially secure clubs would simply declare independence from the University so they would not be subject to oversight. Further, the sheer number of grants given out by the Undergraduate Council to organizations each semester shows that club finances are often unstable from year to year...

...axiom of economics that to get inflation down, you have to tolerate slower growth for a time; to boost employment, you risk some inflation. As with most trade-offs, Forbes says this one doesn't exist. Instead, he is pro-panacea. Growth, tax cuts, gold and free trade are his painless cures of choice. He scorns "austerity" in all its guises. "Obstacles lurk everywhere to achieving our full potential," Forbes says, be they progressive taxation, outdated telecommunications laws or "idiotic" economic policies in Germany. The victims waiting to be "unshackled" are likewise ubiquitous: inner-city entrepreneurs, long-suffering citizens...
...Tevatron is so powerful that it can probe the structure within quarks themselves--structure that had, until now, been presumed not to exist. If, as it seems, there really is something lurking inside the quark, the whole Standard Model may have to be trashed.

...looks bad no matter what school one gets it from. Obviously, competition would increase, and this is not usually an environment conducive to learning for the sheer value of learning--the university's highest function. Also, Harvard is not similar to high school, in which many disparate ability levels exist; here, all students fall within a very narrow band of ability--exceptional ability--and what is to differentiate one from another? Further, Harvard students deserve some kind of reward (a good grade) for their work, for however "average" it may be for Harvard, it certainly is not "average" for society...
