OUR VISION AND IDEAS
1. Stop caving in to the administration. We need outsiders with a fresh perspective and experiences as everyday undergraduates to bring about a more open, transparent, and accountable UC leadership.
2. Expand the scope of party grants. We will reinstate real party grants and re-negotiate the agreement made with the administration. We won't back down. Sundquist promised you a lawyer before they backed down -- where is he or she? [The Crimson, 10/4/07]
3. Bring cable tv to the dorms. Instead of the usual, top-down approach, we will form a student-faculty-admin committee with House Masters to begin to install cable or satellite tv in dorms. DeWolfe already has it -- why can't we all?
4. More frequent shuttle services during peak hours.
5. Poll the popularity of the Dean. We evaluate our professors. Let's evaluate our administration.
THE SUNDQUIST-PETERSEN UC: LETTING US DOWN
SUNDQUIST-PETERSEN LOST TO ADMINISTRATION ON THE UC'S MOST POPULAR INITIATIVE
"The agreement seems to mark a victory for Pilbeam and the administration, as the funding of alcohol—and the potential for underage drinking—was one of the central concerns that led Pilbeam to terminate the program initially." [The Crimson, 11/7/07]
FROM THE BEGINNING OF PARTY GRANT DISPUTE, SUNDQUIST WAS READY TO CAVE IN
“We just need to be ready and we want to be well informed,” he said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen from here—I just hope that we’re all able to work together and do something that is beneficial for students and helpful to social life, but legal and safe for everyone involved.” [The Crimson, 10/4/07]
SUNDQUIST ADMITS THE UC IS ISOLATING, HAS LITTLE TRANSPARENCY
"I think the UC can isolate people, so people don't really understand what we're doing," Sundquist says. [The Crimson, 4/20/07]
SUNDQUIST'S FAST START FIZZLED FAST: HOW MANY PROMISES HAVE THEY KEPT?
"The first two weeks for Undergraduate Council (UC) President Ryan A. Petersen '08 and Vice President Matthew L. Sundquist '09 have gone according to schedule. In a Harvard version of a "first hundred days" blitz, Petersen and Sundquist have already fulfilled one of their 56 campaign promises..." [The Crimson, 12/8/06]
SUNDQUIST RAN DIRTIEST CAMPAIGN OF ALL SIX TICKETS LAST YEAR
As the election wound down, Petersen and Sundquist ran into trouble with campaign regulations, racking up a total of 305 violation points—the most of any of the six tickets. But Nowski said they weren't worried. "It just keeps things interesting," she said . [The Crimson, 12/8/06]
