Year in Review

Sruli Tannenbaum
Outgoing YCSC President

When I was first asked to write a year in review I thought about all the different projects and events that YCSC had worked on. I soon realized, though, that if I had to name every event and forum that we sponsored through the year, then we didn't acc omplish our goal.

YCSC is not an organization that needs to boast of its accomplishments; they are all around for everybody to see. Of course there are the big events like the Chanukah Concert and the Super Bowl party which everyone knows are YCSC events. Practically every week however, there are club events, lectures and outings sponsored by YCSC. Our purpose is to make sure that the quality of life for the students on the Main Campus is above par. Whether through class events, such as Chicago City Limits and The Diary of Anne Frank or club events like the Ping Pong Tournament, YCSC is there to help. We have worked hard with the Office of Student Services and other administrative offices to better campus life within existing structures. This year's newly refurbished weight room and the spring semester's improved registration are just some of the noticeable outcomes. Of course nobody can forget what an important role "Dougie's" played in YCSC's year. Whether it was for the Final Four Party in Weissberg, a floor party during the year, or for a break during finals, there were always plenty of wings to go around.

We haven't been perfect, and I'll be the first to admit to that. There have been projects which we planned on finishing this year but were unable to. WYUR and Morg Mart are two projects which, thanks to the effort and work put in this year, are closer to opening on a more permanent basis.

This year was one of innovation, in which events like the Orientation boat ride, paintball outing, and X/S-Virtual Reality were welcome additions to the YCSC repertoire. All in all I'd say that this has been a very exciting year for YCSC, due to the hard work of a lot of people.
