This particular issue was raised after the UC declined to give Mather money to purchase a second foam machine for the annual Mather Lather foam party. When Mather HoCo’s request was voted down during the UC??s general meeting—causing an angry Mather HoCo to threaten to secede from the UC??many UC members pointed out that every HoCo, including Mather’s, had already received an unrestricted $4,700 at the beginning of the semester.

The sheer amount of fun that those funds would provide is simply unfathomable...
