Skipping the Middleman: Council's Boxes Sell Out

Leaders of the project were surprised at the speed with which all the boxes sold out.

"I didn't expect people wanting to buy them so voraciously," Gusmorino said.

Leaders of the UC Boxes program decided to only purchase a modest number of boxes because of the uncertainty of student demand. The council would have been forced to pay for any unsold boxes out of its own budget.

Organizers also worried that few council members would be available to help out on the project during the midst of final exams.

Council members say that the success of this year's pilot program will lead the UC Boxes program to be expanded next year.

"We are looking forward to expanding for the future," Gusmorino said.

However, Melissa A. Eccleston '04, the social chair of CLC, said that the lack of personnel to help with the program will have to be addressed next year.
