Perry Wilson '01, general manager of the Krokodiloes, said his group is considering several options for the 2001-2002 year--including renting a studio apartment or a conference room at the Charles Hotel.

"We need a dedicated space that we can always use, we need a place that brings us together," Wilson said. "For example, there are four Kroks here right now playing bridge."

Nicole M. Martin '01, president of the Pitches, said her group would most likely use College-owned space during the renovation year, rather than renting a space of its own.

After the renovation, Illingworth said the Theatricals, Pitches and Krokodiloes will still be able to use the renovated Pudding building.

"We want to be sensitive to history," he explained.

But the building will also be open to other undergraduate groups. And in the past, Illingworth has said he is not sure whether the College will prohibit the Theatricals from using the building if the drama troupe does not open up its all-male cast to women. Currently, women cannot perform in the show, although they participate in every other aspect of production. The future of the Pudding social club is even more uncertain. Illingworth said that the Pudding social club would have to change its membership selection process in order to use a College building, but said he has not been approached by William B. Decherd '01, president of the social club, to talk about staying in the building.

Decherd responded to inquiries about the club with a prepared statement.

"The officers have given much thought to what the club will do in future years. One option is to occupy new space. We are currently exploring a number of possibilities for our new home," Decherd said.
