...will manage to avoid such debacles. Only Voith has served on the council since his freshman year, while Gadgil, Haddock, and Riley all joined as sophomores. Voith served as vice-chair of the Campus Life Committee last semester, working on several much-criticized campus events including the Afterparty for Springfest. This year, as chair of CLC, Voith has worked on providing shuttles for this weekend’s Harvard-Yale football game in New Haven. As chair of SAC, Gadgil has worked on revising Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) class evaluations, and has also advocated for a women?...
...amount of student input, of 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.

...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 an idea for campus-wide entertainment. But it is these...
