The Harvard Union will be reorganized next year and placed on a new basis. General plans for next fall have been announced by the Student Council Committee in charge of the building. These plans have the endorsement and support of the University authorities.

During the summer extensive repairs will be made to the Union so that at the opening of the next College year the building may more than regain its former attractiveness. The interior will be thoroughly cleaned and largely repainted, and all traces of the two-year regime of sailors will be removed. It is intended to open a first-class restaurant in the fall, run on a club rather than a hotel basis as was the case before the war. The large billiard and pool room in the basement will be put in order, making 9 tables available for use.

Salaried Manager in Full Charge.

The personnel which will run the Union next year will be announced later. It will consist, first, of a salaried resident manager, a graduate whose duty it will be to take full charge of the entire organization and on whom the chief responsibility for the success of the enterprise will rest. Part of this work will consist in arranging a series of lectures and entertainments. He will be assisted by an undergraduate vice-president and secretary, as in the past, and by committees on the House, Dining Room, Entertainment, and Library. The position of resident manager has not yet been filled.

Although in the spring of 1916 the College voted for compulsory membership in the Union, the committee has decided to start next fall on a voluntary basis with the dues reduced from $10 to $5 per year.

Room For Meeting Ladies.

The ladies of Cambridge have been offered the use of two rooms on the second floor which they will use as a rest-room and ladies room. At present there is no place in Cambridge where a man can meet his family and friends, and these rooms are intended to fill that need.

The Union will open with the reopening of College and the committee feels sure that it will prove sufficiently attractive to justify its continuance indefinitely. The committee will welcome any suggestions which may be made to it; such suggestions should be left with E. A. Hill '19 or G. C. Barclay '19, at the CRIMSON Building.
