About 100 to 150 of them will be able to attend a Gore debate-watching party at the Park Plaza hotel, scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
Given student interest, College Democrat President Marc Stad '01 said he is "directing students to the IOP" because "we just don't have enough space."
The IOP will allow postering for candidates. Both the College Democrats and Republicans will set up tables with literature. Students will also be able to register to vote in the forum during the debates.
"We should still have a pretty good crowd and an even better crowd for the debates that aren't around here," Sauer said.
Other featured events include an Kennedy School panel discussion on the debates at the Weston-Copley Hotel from 12 to 2 p.m.
It will feature Government Professor emeritus Richard E. Neustadt, Public Service Professor David Gergen and Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press Thomas Patterson. Maxine Isaacs, a lecturer on public policy at the Kennedy School, will moderate.
