...UC representative Jason L. Lurie ’05 praised Ernebjerg, who continues to teach though he has completed his requirements, for being “organized and enthusiastic,” as well as holding three-hour office hours each week...
...McCambridge ’06, only about 150 students showed up to the Afterparty. While the rain certainly decreased turnout, the timing and planning of the event was hindered by serious flaws that would have hampered the festivities even if the weather had been good. The Undergraduate Council (UC) needs to rework future events based around Springfest to ensure their success. Independent of the weather, however, there were other factors conspiring against a successful Afterparty that should have dissuaded the bare majority of council members who voted for the event...

In contrast, the UC’s most successful endeavors have been with either huge concerts featuring Bob Dylan and Busta Rhyme or small-scale events like Friday Movie Nights. These are the UC’s unique events—events that no other organization...
