The UC’s Campus Life Committee (CLC), flush with cash, petered it away on poorly planned and expensive events, culminating in a $30,000 cancellation fee for last fall’s Wyclef Jean (non-)concert. After that debacle, the Council effectively un-funded the CLC, divvying up some of what was left of its $100,000 budget among House Committees (HoCos) and party funds. Then the UC lopped off the CLC and left campus-wide social programming to the new College Events Board, which...

As a performer he's more frenetic, having made a career of playing supercharged supporting characters as if he were Al Pacino on a leash. His talent is being big and real simultaneously. Piven's brilliant, nuanced take...
...joined CityStep.Aiming to put the undergraduate back in the undergraduate council, she teamed up with John Haddock to run an anti-establishment ticket. With the campaign home site of fixtheuc.com, the duo promoted tearing down the Ivory Tower image of the council and reforming the CLC. Citing the failed Wyclef concert and the dismal Springfest, Haddock and Riley proposed that campus entertainment be handled by an independent student organization. “Typically people that want to do programming generally don’t run for the UC,” Riley says.
