For its part, the Undergraduate Council will be sponsoring alcohol-free events, such as the Battle of the Bands at Lowell House on Saturday night.

But it has also been promoting the Harvard-Yale party in Boston thrown by the A.D., Owl, and Delphic.

“We passed a bill supporting the party,” said council President Sujean S. Lee ’03. “We are not sponsoring the party—we are helping to promote it rather than organizing it.”

The council has collaborated with final clubs and social clubs on events in the past, she said.

“It’s a mutually beneficial relationship,” Lee said. “We are using our resources to reach out to the student body so that they have options. I’m sure that a lot of people don’t want to go to a club in Boston, but they should have the choice.”

A few students have capitalized on the keg ban.

Last week, five entrepreneurial sophomores set up shop outside the Science Center, selling engraved flasks for $25 a piece to desperate students.

“We almost sold out, and then we were contacted by the University, because we hadn’t registered the patent properly with Harvard,” said Matthew M. Chingos ’05. “We sold 90 out of 100.”
