...senior representatives last year would lack a direct voice on the Council, and last year’s freshman representatives would now live in Houses instead of the Yard. But even such an imperfect solution seems superior to a system that deprives students of representation altogether. Since UC efforts often continue through the summer and into the following year, an interim assembly could easily focus on these ongoing issues until elections take place, waiting for October before choosing to address any new, large-scale projects...
...froyo in the Square. It doesn’t quite stand up to the nuanced taste of the major chains’ product (it’s a little creamier and less tart), but it is a worthwhile replacement. The rotating flavors of the week are often a nice diversion that, along with the buy-10-get-one-free cards, keep the regulars coming back...
...denied. Similarly, student issues do not disappear from one year to the next, nor do they lack import during the first weeks of the year. While the UC president and vice president have a history of remaining on campus throughout the summer to maintain project momentum—often with great success—functionally dissolving the UC in May leaves them alone to represent an entire student body until elections in October. No matter the prowess of the president and vice president, no two individuals can possibly hear and effectively address the multitude of concerns facing students across campus...

Too often, UC members seem hesitant to address controversial issues facing their constituents. Specifically, the Student Affairs Committee (SAC), created to advocate for student interests, remained largely inactive in years past, and in so doing, lost many opportunities to bring campus-wide concerns to the attention of the administration. For instance, when party grants were discontinued in March 2008, students screamed their disapproval over open lists and in dorm rooms, from Mather to the Quad. However, SAC?...
...government to keep track of everybody ... These struggles have always boiled down to a contest between hope and fear." True enough. There was McCarthyism in the 1950s, the John Birch Society in the 1960s. But there was a difference in those times: the crazies were a faction - often a powerful faction - of the Republican Party, but they didn't run it. The neofascist Father Coughlin had a huge radio audience in the 1930s, but he didn't have the power to control and silence the elected leaders of the party that Limbaugh - who, if not the party's leader...
