...Students and faculty members are busy, clearly, but I doubt that they weren’t in the 1970s and 1980s when HoCos were a “big” event and FAS rarely missed quorum. Randomization has obviously hurt House life, but I don’t think that gets to the root of changes either. Mather HoCo, the major anomaly in House life, frequently has 60-80 people at its meetings...
...Students are by no means immune to the same critique. Few House Committees (HoCo) gather more than a dozen or so students on a weekly basis, and only 15 students attended last Wednesday’s open forum organized by the Committee on the Roles and Responsibilities of the Undergraduate Council.

The Undergraduate Council’s Financial Committee (FiCom) will vote tonight on a resolution to distribute some of the funds to House Committees (HoCos). According to the proposal, each of the 12 HoCos will receive $1,000, and an additional $366 will go to Dudley House. These figures will be in addition to the money the UC already distributes to HoCos. Traditionally, the Council divides 25 percent of its budget each semester across...
