Several candidates in this year's Undergraduate Council presidential race called for diverting some of the council's revenue to House Committees, the College's other student government.

But some Houses might need that money more than others.

Due to laundry revenues and popular House events, a handful of Houses are awash in cash and are even considering lavish purchases like jacuzzi tubs.

Other Houses, however, are less well-endowed and fund a more modest slate of projects.

"We have small little things for Leverett House--a Christmas tree in the dining hall, music nights with beer and musicians. You'd be surprised how fast the money goes on little things like that," says Paul D. Di Capua '02, Leverett House Committee treasurer.

In the Money

The Pforzheimer House Committee, awash in money, recently decided it would stop charging students the $10 fee that had been used to fund House-wide activities in the past.

"It was a bit of a burden on students and on the hall treasurers who have to go around and collect money," says Pforzheimer House Treasurer Juan C. Nieto '01. "And we were under the impression that other Houses were getting rid of House dues."
