Union Committee Plans Eli Smoker, Broader Program

This year's Union committee program will get under way Saturday with a Yale smoker for freshmen who stay in Cambridge, Thomas Hoya '52, chairman of the Union Committee, announced last night.

The smoker, featuring eider and doughnuts, will include a television broadcast of the football game. Dates will be invited, making this the first co-ed smoker in history.

These past three years the main goal of Union Committees has been to improve the facilities of the Union building, which was occupied by the Navy during the war.

With the recent opening of the second-floor common room pre-war comforts have been largely restored, Hoya said. It is now possible for this year's committee to turn its attention to the planning of activities in which the whole freshman class can participate, he added.

Other plans are indefinite, as yet, Hoya said, but he indicated that there might be a special Christmas dinner or dinner-dance, a class play, music concerts and faculty-student dinners.
