P.B.H. LOUNGE WILL OPEN ON MONDAY

Important in the wartime recreational history at Harvard will be the opening of the new Phillips Brooks House Lounge on the third floor of the house this Monday. All students at Harvard, graduate and undergraduate, civilian, and those in the V-12 and ASTP units and their friends are invited to make use of the lounge, which will be open from 9 to 5 o'clock daily. Sponsors are the Phillips Brooks House Association and the Student Council.

The Lounge is intended to provide the student with a comfortable place to spend odd moments during the day. Its two tastefully decorated rooms contain recreational facilities to suit all tastes. In the large Phillips Brooks Room there will be bridge and ping-pong tables, a billiard table, a concert grand piano, a radio-phonograph, and a large floor space for dancing. In the smaller room opening off the main lounge are comfortable, leather upholstered chairs and several window seats. On the center table in this room will be placed current magazines, daily out-of-down and local newspapers, and stationery with writing materials.

A suggestion box will allow users of the lounge to make recommendations. The wishes of the students as to the kind of phonograph records they want are particularly desired. The PBH record library now consists mostly of popular records. The donation of used records that are in good condition will be appreciated.

It is to be hoped by Brooks House and College officials that the lounge will help promote class unity among the Class of '47, and the V-12 classes.
