CORRECTION: The print and original online editions of this article incorrectly stated that the $632.72 worth of checks that were not recorded in the Undergraduate Council's books were written by Matthew R. Greenfield '08, a former treasurer of the UC. In fact, the checks had been written by Greenfield's predeccessor but cashed during Greenfield's term.

...Boston Globe reported that Harvard students were less satisfied with their campus social life than students at rival institutions.

But perhaps more importantly, the UC provides, without question, the most regular, cost-effective source of entertainment on the Harvard campus...
True to form, last week’s general meeting was a complete gong show, as the UC once again contemplated changes to its stringent non-discrimination policy on funding student groups. A brief synopsis: A last-minute piece of new business catapulted the UC into chaos, student group leaders were summoned to testify, a former UC vice president was dragged out of retirement to cast a vote of dubious legitimacy, a motion was made for the ejection of the chair of the Student Affairs Committee from the meeting, and the meeting ended without anything having been accomplished...
