This announcement is frq*n the student union committee and comcB as a complete surprise because women have been barred from the grill since It opened last fall.

The committee has a great deal of confidence in the plan because of the success of the all-university digs, which were an innovation last year.

The management Intends to get a piano and the committee has discussed re-decoration of the grill with the purpose of getting more life into the color scheme by adding colored pictures to the collection of black and white prints which hang in the grill at the present time. The idea is to create more of a den atmosphere than that of formality which is always present in a public grill.
