Myopic UC members contended that since they give each House $4700 at the beginning of the semester, there is no need to fund additional HoCo projects throughout the year. But the most exciting campus party is also the most expensive (and time-consuming) to organize. The costs of lumber, Super Foam Dome foam machines, soap solution, the DJ, and typical party expenses total to over $6000.

The Mather HoCo is onto something: The greater the pain-in-the-neck, the bigger the check...
