The Undergraduate Council took much of their meeting to discuss The Game, and the diversions they have planned for the festivities.
Members passed bills to approve the sale of tee shirts and to sponsor a post-game "Battle of the Bands" event.
Three hundred maroon tee shirts will be decorated with a small football silk-screened on the front, with text announcing the game. On the back: "Yale's new URL: www.safetyschool.org."
The tee shirt proposal passed with little debate, although members of the Finance Committee objected to the new $7 charge--last year's shirts were given away free because of corporate sponsorships.
"I have a problem when we try to make money off of students," said John Marshall, '01. "I wish we could've given them away free."
The Battle of the Bands is a new addition to the annual festivities for the 125 year-old rivalry.
Sponsored by the council, the Quad Sound Studios, Leverett and Quincy House Committees, the H-Club, and the Yale College Council, the event will feature performances by three Harvard bands and three Yale bands--with a cash prize going to the winning band.
The Harvard bands were chosen from fourteen groups who submitted tapes.
