Candidates from the five tickets vying to lead the Undergraduate Council explained their policy proposals at a pair of debates on Saturday. The five candidate tickets participated in a debate Saturday night co-hosted by Harvard Political Union and Harvard College Act on a Dream, discussing topics including accessibility on campus, mental health, and — in one case — abolishing the UC itself. In other news, the Committee on Student Life voted to approve 45 and reject 11 new student organizations at its monthly meeting Thursday.
After the results of Bolivia’s election were called into question through allegations of manipulation, protestors have called for president Evo Morales to resign. Though Morales agreed to call for a redo of the elections, it was not until Sunday that Morales announced he would resign.
Broadway Actress Dies At 13
This past week, Laurel Griggs died at the age of 13 from complications of an asthma attack. Griggs appeared in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway at the age of 6 and went on to appear in Tony award-winning musical “Once” along with many commercials and television shows.
AROUND THE IVIES DARTMOUTH
The Dartmouth reported Dartmouth is seeking a tax refund. The college, which is the largest property owner in the town of Hanover, has appealed to Grafton Superior Court seeking a refund that totals more than $500,000, according to Hanover town manager Julia Griffin. The tax bill for the college increased after the town’s reassessment of property values in 2018. The college applied for the abatement of taxes for 38 out of 122 “taxable parcels” in Hanover.
CORNELL
The Cornell Daily Sun reported that Cornell experienced a university-wide network server outage. The outage lasted for most of the day and it impacted various aspects of student life including the campus Wi-Fi and Cornell Dining. It also disrupted an examination and student’s ability to use on-campus printing resources. The cause of the network server outage has not yet been reported.
PENN
Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza will be allowed to speak at an alternate venue on campus Tuesday, days after university officials cancelled the event at the original location due to unspecified security concerns, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. Neo-Nazis were planning to attend D’Souza’s talk, according to the Pennsylvanian, but it will now only be open to Penn students. The Penn College Republicans had originally planned to hold the event at the university’s cultural center, but it will now be held in Houston Hall. The event had drawn criticism because of controversial comments D’Souza has made in the past.
