...UC should not be blamed for trying to provide student services such as Logan shuttles. However, it should realize (as it did when it cut CLC) that it is not the body that should be operating them. As the elected student government, the UC is in a unique position to facilitate—but not directly provide—a variety of campus-wide student services. Students appreciate having shuttles to the airport, inexpensive cardboard boxes for move-out, and $1 movie nights—all of which the UC used to provide. The UC is a single, central body...
Looking to get to Logan Airport tomorrow? You’ll have one less option than last year. For the past 15 years, the Undergraduate Council (UC) has provided airport shuttles for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks for $5 per person. Last spring, the Campus Life Committee (CLC), which organized shuttles and a few other student services, was eliminated to create a more streamlined, efficient UC. This decision resulted in the elimination of airport shuttles this school year. We fully supported cutting CLC, but now the UC needs to find a new way to provide a few valuable student services...
Airport shuttles have been popular since they were first offered in 1991. But the UC has never been exceptionally good at organizing them. Complaints of late, absent, and overbooked shuttles have been accumulating for 10 years. Last winter, in a particularly bad case of mismanagement, the UC had to deny spots to ticket-holding students because there was not enough space on the buses, leaving many students rushing to make their flights...
...UC leadership needs to implement a mechanism for arranging student services within the UC’s current two-committee framework. It does not need to bring back the CLC, nor does it need another third arm such as an "Outreach and Services Committee"—an idea which was proposed and rejected last spring. We do not know precisely how the UC ought to handle soliciting and selecting bids from third parties. It could be done by the UC’s Finance Committee (FiCom), or by a FiCom subcommittee, or by the president and vice president themselves...
Party grants now come with strings attached. Students who receive alcohol reimbursements will now also get free advice on how to prevent sexual assaults, as a result of a bill passed last night by the Undergraduate Council (UC). The bill, which aims to improve campus safety, obligates the UC to distribute a pamphlet with tips for preventing sexual assault and facts about date rape drugs to recipients of the grants. “I think it is a great way to ensure a fun campus that is safe as well,” said Student Advisory Committee Chair and president...
