...TOWERAs indicated by the name of their campaign website, fixtheuc.com, Haddock says the main emphasis of the campaign is to “fundamentally change the way the UC operates and stop wasting students’ money.” In response to this year’s failed Wyclef Jean concert, which cost the UC between $25,000 and $30,000, Haddock and Riley say that they plan to “get the UC out of the social programming business” by eliminating the Campus Life Committee (CLC).

McCambridge ’06, chair of the Harvard Concert Commission (HCC), the cancellation cost the commission between $25,000 and $30,000. Earlier this month, the UC formed a commission to investigate the factors that led to the cancellation. But Monday?...
