Barro and Adams seek to expand Harvard social life both on and off campus.

“Boston Nights” would allow students with a valid Harvard ID to get free or reduced admission into various cultural events in Boston, ranging from museums and theatrical productions, to clubs and restaurants.

“We want the city to be more accessible and inviting to students. When I was a freshman we went to the Loews at the park a few times, but that was about it,” Adams says.

As for on-campus social events, Adams and Barro want to harness Harvard students’ competitive spirit by rewarding students with cash for the best party each weekend.

“We see two real problems with Harvard students; one, they don’t throw enough parties; two, they’re too competitive,” Barro says. “So why not make throwing parties competitive?”

Another gaping hole in on-campus social life is the absence of a student center—for now. Adams says she sees untapped potential in Loker Commons.

“We want students to utilize Loker Commons,” she says.

Loker should host happy hours on alternate Friday evenings, featuring snacks, soft drinks and alcohol—for those students who qualify.

Campus musicians should perform there more often, she says, and they intend to press the Loker Grill to open between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., to provide first-years an equivalent to the grille in Quincy House.

“We think freshmen should have an option to eat in just like the upperclassmen do for late night snacks,” Adams says.

Barro and Adams believe that their past experience on the council helps them understand the time commitment required to enact these changes.

“It’s probably not a good indication of my social life that I bump into people at parties, hear their names and think, ‘Did you apply for a grant?” Barro says.

But he says his inability to stop thinking about council funding could be an asset.

“That’s one of the things that comes with the position, I guess.”
