“Unlike the final clubs, the Pudding doesn’t have the ultimate barrier to admissions of not being co-ed,” Illingworth said. College policies forbid the official recognition of groups that discriminate on the basis of gender.

Andrea L. Olshan ’02, the social club’s incoming president, would not comment on the status of the club’s plans, except to say that officers were planning fall and spring punches, as well as a charity event.

Club officers have in the past said that if no agreement with the College could be arranged, they would try to relocate elsewhere.

Regardless of whether the social club stays, plans are taking shape for the multimillion-dollar renovation of the Pudding building. At the time of purchase, FAS officials said the building needed major renovations.

Current plans are to turn the building’s theater—which is home to the Theatricals—into a state-of-the-art performance space for undergraduates. The Theatricals will continue to perform their famous burlesque comedies and present their man and woman of the year awards on the Pudding stage.

Illingworth and Theatricals President George C. Padgett ’02, said that renovations were being planned to minimize disruption to shows’ annual late winter run.

Padgett said the construction will begin after the Theatricals finish their run in March.
