New Common Room Opens In Ex-Union Library Tonight

Homeless freshmen should be a thing of the pat tonight when the the Union's new upstairs common room opens its door for the first time.

The new room, which is really three rooms, is a completely remodeled edition of the old Union Library, which was put out of business when Lamont Library opened in January.

Instead of the bare walls and shelves of the old library, the common room boasts baby pink walls, leather chairs and couches, and a liberal sprinkling of original oil paintings. Among these are a Utrillo and three paintings left to the Fogg Museum by the late Allston Burr '89, once an Overseer of the college and donstor of the Varsity Club.

The two smaller rooms which ad-joined the main part of the old library will now serve as music and game rooms, equipped with victrola, plane, records, and bridge and parlor gams facilities.
