...funding gods must be smiling on undergraduate social life this month. Two weeks ago, College administrators agreed to channel $200,000 toward the nascent College Events Board’s inaugural budget. Now the Undergraduate Council (UC) is expected to consider a constitutional amendment that would automatically fund House Committees (HoCos) at the beginning of each semester. This latest measure will allow HoCos greater financial certainty and enable long term planning, resulting in more vibrant House life. We strongly urge the UC to pass such an amendment...
...funding system will put HoCos on more stable financial ground and increase the possibilities for creative House events. Activities and events organized by HoCos—formals, stein clubs, mega-parties, inter- and intra-house competitions—constitute the core of undergraduate social life.

The UC should take House size into account when making its awards to the various HoCos, though the distribution should not be exactly proportional to population; merely it must take into consideration that Quincy with its over 460 students needs to spend...
...Undergraduate Council (UC) spent three-and-a-half hours debating and amending the semester’s final grants package during last night’s four-and-a-half hour long UC meeting. Though the Finance Committee (FiCom) met at length last week to interview student group applicants and to develop the grants package presented yesterday, the bulk of last night’s meeting was spent debating the numerous amendments brought before the Council on the bill. Several student groups, including the International Relations Council, Franklin Afterschool Enrichment (FASE) program, and the Harvard College Democrats also presented...
