However, Har'd CORPS has set up many of the projects itself.

Smith said that although only 200 students were signed up as of Monday's meeting, he was certain that at least 500 will participate, in part due to the pledges of 15 to 20 student groups to provide volunteers.

Council members will continue to publicize the event, said council Secretary Jean E. Huang '03.

Students can also register at the event by showing up in front of the Science Center between 8 and 9 a.m. on Saturday.

While most council members wholeheartedly endorse the event, some have complained that Smith organized the event through the Ivy Council, bypassing the Undergraduate Council's formal procedure for sponsoring an event yet drawing from its resources.

"I think it definitely should have been proposed as a council project," said council Treasurer Sterling P. A. Darling '01. "I'm concerned when the council doesn't have the opportunity to adopt Ivy Council ideas and projects."

"Obviously, it's important that the delegates [to the Ivy Council] have a responsibility to the [Undergraduate] Council first and foremost," he added.

Smith acknowledged that the criticism was "fair," but said that he was pleased with the way everything worked out.
