...less for it. Plus, you get to be friends with Undergraduate Council Vice President Matt Sundquist (though chances are, he was friends with you already).PFORZHEIMER: Despite the success of the 90s dance, PfoHo has gained a reputation for becoming less fun in recent years. The days of campus-wide bangers in the Bell Tower and the Meat Locker every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have passed, and their Masters killed their Harvard-Yale pre-party just as it was taking off the ground.

If HoCos provided the grants rather than the UC, the parties would likely become far more limited, instead of the campus-wide events they are intended to be. For example, the UC currently posts the locations of funded parties on the UC-general e-mail list, to which any Harvard student can subscribe. While fostering house community is also a worthy objective, HoCos already receive $4,500 each semester from...

...party grant fund should remain centralized and in the hands of the UC. Not only is a central fund more conducive to improving social life campus-wide, but placing the fund in the hands of HoCos would create many unnecessary logistical problems. The UC has proved itself competent at administering the party fund; leaving the fund in its hands is the best way to ensure that the party grant program continues to benefit the entire campus community...
