“It’s not going to be just a springfest in the fall,” Voight said. “Whereas Springfest has really been taken over by the President’s office, this will be more college oriented—a day outside with food and beer.”

However, Capp wrote in a e-mail sent over the UC e-mail list yesterday that “we’ve secured a lot of support from University Hall” for the event.

This year’s Springfest suffered from low turnout, bad weather, and a general lack of enthusiasm.

“We want this event to be very relaxed and have a college party feel rather than being aimed at little kids—there will be no bouncy objects or trains,” wrote Gadgil, one of three UC representatives living in Eliot this summer and working on UC initiatives.

The UC has also been working with transportation services to revamp College shuttle services for the fall.

Starting in September, there will be five new shuttles, including an extra-large shuttle bus designated for morning pick-up in the Quad.

Transportation services have also restructured the shuttle schedule for exam period, Gadgin wrote in an e-mail.

Many of the changes in shuttle services come in response to suggestions from two forums the UC hosted on shuttles this past spring.

An ad-hoc committee will be formed to address shuttle issues associated with construction, according to Chadbourne, who said he had been in contact about the issue with Deputy Dean of the College Patricia O’Brien.
