He plays strongside guard on Phil Dickens' single wing formation and is at his best on de fense. Presently, Dave is third at strongside guard, behind two seniors.

We would like to take this early opportunity to invite each and every graduate' brother who is at any time in the vicinity of Bloomington, Indiana, to feel free" to drop in on his undergraduate chapter. Zeta's house corporation has just finished Phi Gamma Delta's answer to the Russian five year plan except it took nine years to complete. An extensive three phase remodel ing and redecorating plan has recently been completed. If you haven't seen your chap■ ter house in the last ten years you wRl not recognize it. In 1951 the first phase of the remodeling program was completed. It entailed the building of a north wing with thir teen study rooms, two shower rooms, a new kitchen, and a new dining room. The cost amounted to $75,000 and was financed through the Lafayette Life Insurance Company. In 1958 the old wing was completely remodeled and extensive work was done in the living room,"Senior Den", and downstairs area as well as the addition of a new shower room and enlarging the upstairs study rooms. A new fire proof stair well and enlarge ment of the dorm was also included in the project to run the total cost to $50,000.00. The final phase of the program was completed this fall with the redecoration of the upstairs living area. So as you see if you haven't been here for a while a great many changes have taken place, and I'm sure you will be anxious to see them. We now have accommodations for 70 brothers and feed over 80 at ovu: evening meals. There have been additions to our trophy case, too, in the last few years, and I'm cer tain that our undergraduates would be happy to escort a graduate brother through our trophy room. We feel however that there can be little joy in our accomplishments if we are not able to share them with the men who gave us the tradition that we are now attempting to carry on. I hope that we can look forward to meeting many of you during the remaining foot ball games and throughout the basketball season. Remember the doors of Zeta chapter are always open and you will be more than a welcomed guest. Fraternally yours, DAVID W. CARTER, President Zeta Takes Third In Scholarship Last year after getting off to a fine start in scholarship by winning first place among fraternities in the fall semester, Zeta slip ped to eighth place in the spring semester to end up third among fraternities for the school year. Zeta's two pledge classes came through with flying colors to win the AJl-Fraternity Pledge Class Scholarship Trophy both sem esters. Swedish Student At Zeta Bjorn Sievert has come to Zeta in ex change for former president Roger Pardieck. Twenty-four years old, Bjorn comes from Djurshohn, Sweden. His family owns the Max Sievert Blowtorch Factory in Sunnyberg, Sweden. Bjorn, who is a good friend of our former guest from Sweden, Bo Hjelt, arrived in America early in Sep tember. In 1955 Bjorn passed the Swedish Student Examination, which corresponds to the college sophomore level, in his native school. Continuing his education imtil 1956 in this school, Bjorn participated in many student activities and eventually became president of the Student Council. He then continued his schooling in Frans Schartan Business School in Stockholm and passed its business examination. Completing his schooling, he then entered the military service, which, in Sweden as in the United States, is mandatory. After his military service, Bjorn worked for six months in Stockholm's Enscilda Bloomington Scene Of The 1959 Fiji Academy The 1959 Fiji Academy met on our Bloomington Campus August 26 - 29. The underlying theme of the Academy was one of re-dedication sequential to President Wallbank's "Crusade of Re-dedication."

Last Autumn Bjorn went to England to study the sales organization of Sievert products and the origin of propane and butane dis tribution. The following spring, before coming overseas, he studied French in the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Zeta has truly been honored by the pres ence of this outstanding young man, who has many interests and talents besides hav ing an excellent educational background. Bjorn has proven to be quite a versatile person. His many hobbies include skiing, sailing, skating, photography, and jazz. An Brothers Dave Carter, John Ashman, and Jim Morrison were in representation for accomplished pianist, Bjorn has proven to be quite an asset to the house and is fast becoming more than merely a guest.

However, they stipulated that none of the money would be available until the job was completed and aU bills were paid, as certified by their local attorney. On May 20, 1958 the House Corporation entered into a contract with Superior Lum ber and Building Company of Bloomington to complete the remodeling and moderni zation of Beechwood for a firm bid of $82,596.00. The outside work started almost im mediately. Superior could not carry the job without periodic advances of money, so This fall the finishing touches of a five thousand dollar project was completed. The project, which was begun last year, includ ed the complete remodeling of the down stairs gameroom, hall, and powder room, the senior den, the Fiji room, the front foyer, and the living room. The living room is the last room to be completed, the others having been done last spring. The living room was repainted and new ceiling fixtures were added. The new furniture for the living room includes sofas, chairs, end tables, and a beautiful rug, all har monizing in a very pleasant color scheme. On the outside of the house, the driveway and parking space adjacent to the house have been paved with asphalt. The front and side lawns were dug up and reseeded, and the side lawn has been terraced. With the completion of these several projects, the Fiji house has been brought up to the standards of some of the other fraternity houses on campus. It is the Chapter's hope to undertake other projects in the future to improve the physical plant even more. we arranged with the First National Bank of Bloomington to borrow money as needed until completion of the job and the receipt of our money from the insurance company. Feb. 14, 1959, at a local attorney's office, we received two checks from Lafayette Life. One was for $51,788.32, representing the balance due on our original mortgage loan of $75,000.00. This check was endorsed and returned to the Insurance Company to retire the original mortgage. A second check for $73,211.68 represented the difference due us on the new $125,000.00 mortgage loan. At that time we paid the balance due the general contractor on a total biU of $83,824.08, (a few extras came up), except that we withheld about $1,500.00 imtil the completion of a few minor details of construc tion; we paid the architect his balance of a total fee of $6,705.92; we paid legal fees of $155.00; and we gave a check to the First National Bank of Bloomington for $66,183.73 for money advanced with interest to date. The total interest paid to the bank was $1,783.40. In addition to the $73,211.68 from Lafayette Life, we received $3,470.99 in uninvested funds in the Chapter Building Fund, cashed J-Bonds for $8983.00, and cashed short term Treasury Bills for $5062.50, or a total from the chapter's building fund of $17,516.49. The Alumni Association dues for the fiscal year were $415.00 and the One Hundred Dollar Club contributions to April 1 this year total $2,915.00. A summary of the above is as follows: INCOME Chapter Bldg. Fund Lafayette Life Ins. Co EXPENSES $17,516.41 73,211.68 Alumni Dues 415.00 $100.00 Club 2,915.00 Superior Lbr James, Arch Interest, 1st Natl $83,824.08 6,705.92 1,783.40 $92,313.40 $94,058.17 Incidental expenses were noted above. In addition the House Corporation has paid for the desks and chairs in the study rooms, some new mattresses and beds in the dorm, and other incidental expenses. Our bank balance as of April 1, 1959, was $3,876.61. Our new mortgage requires the payment of $859.90 twelve times a year for a total of $10,318.80. The Chapter now pays us as rent $1,400.00 eight times a year for a total of $11,200.00, leaving us a balance of $881.20 a year, which must cover insurance and any repairs to the house. We have assumed a huge financial obligation which will re quire full occupancy of the house, with complete financial responsibility on the part of the Chapter. Unpaid house bills at the end of the school year cannot be permitted to continue. With such a close balance between income and expenses, contribution for Alumni Pictured above is the new game room.

These arguments are usually based on motives, that as Marco Polo once declared, "I will study and prepare my many new acquaintances were made and many renewed. The traditional kissing of the snout and tail was carried out, and the dinner of pork chops was enjoyed by all. After dinner came the presentation of the awards. It was an nounced that Zeta had once again won the coveted Riverda H. Jordan Cup for excel lence in scholarship. This marked a pre cedence of having won this trophy four out of the last ten years. It was then an nounced that Zeta had placed second in both the Cheney Cup and Baker Cup com petition.
