...course—to continue taking on the task of organizing the occasional campus-wide event.The SEC seems to have few advantages over the doomed CLC, and we fear that the differences between the two would be merely nominal. Last year’s Springfest Afterparty and the Havana on the Harbor cruise are two recent examples of ineffectual planning by the students of the CLC. Both of these failures stemmed from a combination of lack of input from the student body and uncontrollable bad weather. The organization of the SEC offers few clues to how its events would...
...materialize. I certainly didn’t find much of a party at Springfest last year where the much-vaunted “Afterparty” attracted far fewer than 200 students and cost about $16,000—nearly $100 per rain- and mud-soaked attendee. Nor was Havana on the Harbor much fun; $2,500 was spent on 40 students—many of whom later wanted their money back. The Snoop Dogg fiasco wasted more than $7,000 and the poorly-attended Jim Breuer show blew through about twice that. Then, of course, there?...
...work with. While we understand that the UC is beholden to the needs of student groups—currently 67 percent is set aside for funding—if the council were to cut back on pursuing more medium-sized social events, like last year’s failed Havana on the Harbor and the Springfest After Party, it could parlay that money into an even bigger concert performance.Of the countless campaigns taken on by the UC every year, little else—if anything—garners as much student scrutiny as when the council comes forth with...
...meeting, said that publicity needed to focus more on the enthusiasm of those promoting the event. “You can’t have a couple of dance-team members handing out fliers,” she said, alluding to the publicity for last year’s Havana on the Harbor cruise. Only 50 students bought tickets to the cruise, which had a published capacity of 375. The Springfest Afterparty was a flop too; only 150 guests attended the event, which was marred by inclement weather. This event cost the UC $16,000. Instead, Petrich said...
...rumored presidential hopeful who lost her CLC reelection bid this year to Voith.Voith served as vice-chair under Epstein last semester, when the committee weathered harsh criticism for a series of unsuccessful social events. Most detrimental of all were the Springfest Afterparty and the under-attended “Havana on the Harbor” Booze Cruise, both of which were rained out and effectively ruined. Epstein took most of the heat, and although Voith should have shared more of the blame, his recent victory will probably allow him to coast through to the presidential election unharmed...
