...most pressing question facing the UC right now is how it can ensure that its failures of the past year—which wasted approximately $50,000 of students’ money on events like the aborted Wyclef concert, the Springfest Afterparty, and the Havana on the Harbor cruise—are never repeated. John and Annie understand that the only way to stop wasting money is to get the UC out of the social planning business altogether by dissolving the failed Campus Life Committee and redistributing its money by increasing funding for extracurricular groups, House Committees (HoCos), and parties...

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...
