UC Divided on Election
Update appended at 4:35 a.m. With voting for the Undergraduate Council Presidential Elections opening at noon today, internal UC opinion remains divided.
The Crimson Endorses Hayward-Zhang
As of tonight, The Crimson officially endorses Hayward-Zhang for the ’09-’10 UC President and Vice-President. Although the policy platforms of the Bowman-Hysen and Hayward-Zhang tickets are very similar, we believe George J.J. Hayward ’11, a Crimson editorial writer, and Felix M. Zhang ’11 have a track record that proves they will implement their proposals. Hayward’s accomplishments include obtaining cell phone service for AT&T users in the Quad, erecting ATMs in the Quad and the MAC, and persuading administrators not to reduce the shuttle schedule. When he ran for UC Representative, Hayward promised such results—and he delivered. As UC President, he ostensibly will do for the entire student body what he has done for his current constituents. More after the jump.

Brought to You From the Department of CS50
The same people that brought you shuttle boy—before the weird call in thing—rolled out a new website HarvardMaps in conjunction with the Undergraduate Council today. The site, part of the CS 50 network and created by CS 50 Professor David Malan, is an attempt by the UC to begin streamlining room reservation systems in all the Undergraduate Houses and other locations across campus. “Until today, there’s been no centralized place to find room reservation information for different buildings.” wrote Eric Hysen ’11, a UC rep and one of the compliers of the program. “We hope this will begin making it easier for students and student groups to reserve rooms for their events.” He added, “We’ll be working to expand on this with a searchable database of rooms on campus…our long term goal is a fully online, centralized reservation system for all buildings.” Follow the jump for more on how the site works.
