But Dorris said this year's council still hasenough time to make a successful bid for aprofessional band.
Last year's Sister Hazel bid was not made untilFebruary, but Dorris said a proposal for thisyear's Springfest may be brought before thecouncil within a month.
He mentioned Blues Traveler and Phish as bandsthe committee was considering.
"Springfest will be better than ever," Dorrissaid. "We hope to bring a big name band thisyear."
Game Goodies
The council-sponsored celebrations for thisyear's Harvard-Yale game will feature pizza, sodaand "rowdy rags" but, unlike last year, they willnot include beer.
The council voted last night to spend $969 on avictory party in Loker Commons, which will featurea "battle of the bands" along with pizzas, chips,soft drinks and hot chocolate.
Around $1,700 will go to tailgate preparations,including about $1,425 for "rowdy rags" emblazonedwith the Harvard logo, which CLC Co-Chair T.Christopher King `00 described as "spirit items."
The council elected not to have beer at theevent because College rules make alcoholdistribution difficult.
At last year's Springfest, alcohol consumptionwas permitted only in a fenced off area away fromthe festivities.
King said by coordinating its efforts withother campus groups, the council was able to savemore than $2,000 on Game preparations as comparedto the cost of festivities when The Game was lastheld at Harvard two years ago.
Harvard Dining Services will provide foodfree-of-charge for the tailgate party and theBlack Students' Association is likely to providetransportation to and from The Game.
Administrative Inquiry
In an effort to investigate the actions of theAdministrative Board, the council also voted tocreate a new student task force.
The Ad Board, which handles disciplinary issuesand has the power to suspend and expel students,does not include student representatives and hasoften been criticized for the secrecy thatsurrounds its meetings.
John A. Burton '01, who heads the new taskforce, said he will appoint a maximum of 20students to the group. Any College student iseligible to become a member
