#tbt: HoCos Have Always Hated Budget Checks
Harvard HoCos throughout time have proven the axioms that history repeats itself and time is a flat circle.
Back in 2001, HoCos also hesitated to release their budgets and only three Houses submitted their funds on time when asked by the Committee on House Life.
Dean of Freshmen Thomas A. Dingman ā67 defended the request. āThe student officers who are reluctant are missing the point,ā he said. āItās unfortunate that this request has been thought of as a deanās plot.ā Dingman then cackled and touched the dagger by his side.
According to the article, āEliot House Committee chair Emily R. Murphy ā03 said she was āa little apprehensiveā about what CHL was planning to do once the information was collected.ā Maybe they would sell the information to enemies around the globe!
ButĀ good old Quincy House, the sweet, obliging Peopleās House, seemed down. One former Quincy House Committee member Brian R. Smith ā02 said in the article, āLooking at the budgets is a necessary step to getting more money to the Houses and to equalize spending across the Houses.ā This year, when Quincy House submitted its budget to the UC, they submitted itĀ in Euros. Really, check it out.
