...Sunday, the Undergraduate Council (UC) continued its tradition of funding Dudley House at half the level it funds the other 12 House Committees (HoCos). But this year is not like other years: the HoCo funding has rightfully grown from $1,000 per House per semester as little as four years ago to $4,500 today. When UC allocations to HoCos were smaller, it made more sense to fund Dudley House at half the level of the other Houses. But now that HoCos’ funding is no longer supplemented by House dues—and their UC allocations...
Although Dudley should not receive as much UC funding as the other houses, it is certainly free to spend its allocation however it chooses. It has proposed hosting block parties in order to improve relations between Co-op residents and their neighbors (who are not Harvard affiliates). Money received by HoCos should be used to build House community, and if Dudley’s conception of House community is neighborhood community, that’s fine.

Calling the core “old-fashioned,” Menand said that the current system fragmented knowledge into specific academic disciplines more suitable for the ivory tower than the outside world...
...Undergraduate Council (UC), which cut its costs this past spring by abolishing one of its three committees, doled out a record-setting sum to student groups and upped funding by $1,000 for each of the residential Houses at a three-hour session last night. The UC has allocated $421,634 this year for student groups and House committees (HoCos)—a 10 percent increase from last year, according to UC Treasurer Benjamin W. Milder ’08. The increase in available funds is the result of two major changes, according to Milder. First, the UC?...
