...maintain funding levels for campus-wide events without either a termbill increase or an unexpected gift from University Hall. The infeasibility of these plans speaks to an unhealthy inclination to sacrifice vision for political expedience. In a similar vein, we are thrilled with the novel approach taken by the Magnus Grimeland ’07-Hadfield ticket. Unlike so-called “outsider” tickets in past elections, these candidates present us with a unique set of priorities for the UC that reflect their individual experiences and qualifications, within and without the council. We are concerned, though, that...
Third, they want to engage students in shaping the spending priorities of the College by developing a student-led $10-million investment plan. Harvard’s endowment grew by 19.2 percent last year, bringing the endowment’s overall value to $25.9 billion. Tom and Magnus want Harvard to invest in undergraduates.

As a community, we could change the campus forever...

Student interest is so low that there were not even enough candidates immediately on the ballot in many houses for September’s UC elections. Magnus and Tom will recruit students with web experience to redesign and maintain the UC website, make videos of UC meetings available for download on the web, and encourage more candidates to get on the ballot for UC elections. They will also institute a semiannual survey of all undergraduates to find...
