Fiji House (Diagram on Page 3) quently the capacity of second floor As you probably all know, Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta is in store for some rather extensive remodel ing this summer. Now, with a little help from your imagina tions, I'ii take you on a verbal tour and let you know what we anticipate the house will look like by the time Fall term rush rolls around. Approaching the front of the house, the only change which will be noticeable is the addition of a stairway leading up from the south end of the basement and emerging near the front door of the housemother's quarters. This addition was made at the has been increased from thirty-four to forty-one. The capacity of both the steep ing porches has also been in creased by utiiizing the space which was occupied by an old lift and laundry chute, neither of which have been used for years. On third floor, again the walls have been paneled and several of the walls moved. The walls which have been moved are in dicated on the drawings by the darker wall sections. By more ef ficient use of space_on this fioor, the qapacity has been increased from twenty-one to twenty-four. One notable change is the incor porating of the old tub room irito Room 301. This space, which was previously seldom used, provides space for one additional study desk and wardrobe, plus a small closet which opens into the hali. Some other important changes have been made on both second and third floors, particularly in the study rooms. On all the floors, the old inlaid linoleum has been replaced by floor tile. All the desks are built into per manent positions which are ar ranged to provide optimum study conditions. In an effort to hold down expenses, many of the old desks which are in pretty good (Continued on Page 3) request of the fire department of ficials who insisted that we have two exits from the large base ment room in the southeast cor Hugh Baker Visits Pig Dinner ner of the house. When you walk in the front door, you will see the first real signs of the remodeling work. The first floor hallway will be paneled with hardwood veneer and the ceiling lowered about two feet and covered with ac oustical tile to keep as much noise as possible from being transferred up to the second floor study areas. The dining room ceiling wili aiso receive this ac oustical tile treatment. Moving on up to second floor, we get into the heart of the pro ject. The first thing that you will notice is that all of the walls have been covered with hard wood paneling and ail the ceil ings with acoustical tile as was the first floor hall. Also, some of the walls have been moved around to make better use of the total floor space. For example, the old safe and storage closets which extended into Room 202 have been removed and the space taken up with a desk and wardrobe. This room has a new capacity of five men. The room which used to be the iibrary has been changed, too. It is now a four man study room and the li brary has been moved to the basement.

The old clos ets have been replaced by new wardrobes which include several drawers, shelves, and hanger of choice but were set down as changing some walls, combining requirements by the local fire department to reduce the danger of fire caused by over-loaded cir cuits. The old incandescent lights in the study rooms and halls have been replaced by modern several space. Each room has a new door and and all the door jams have been replaced to ensure a good fit and easy closing. tures. All of the old cast iron radia tors have been replaced by new wall-mounted convectors. New traps and valves have been in stalled throughout the heating system in order to eliminate the obnoxious "clanging" sound which would begin every time the furnace came on during the past few years. The electrical system has also been greatly improyed. All the circuits are routed through new circuit breaker fuse boxes and new circuits have been added in the study rooms to allow for sev attractive flourescent fix Earlier I mentioned that the library had been moved to the basement. Specifically, it is now located in the old TV room in the southeast end of the basement. It consists of five sets of four foot wide shelves, of which two sets are adjustable. They are placed along the east wall of the room. On the north wall of the room' is a new trophy case, twelve feet in length and cover ed with sliding glass doors. The floor is covered with a vinyl carpet which won't be affected by the minor seepage that oc curs in the rainest weather. eral outlets at each desk. These The TV room has been moved to the north end of the base changes weren't really a matter ment. It was provided for by storage areas, an old shower area, and paneling the walls, covering the ceilings, and leveling up the floors. One end of the TV room opens into the recreation room where we keep the pool table. This room has been considerably improved by removing the old chimney base which extended up from the mid dle part of the room. If you've been here at the house lately, I think that you'll agree that this is a practical and needed remodeling program. We 're all happy with it and are looking forward to some great improvements in rush, scholar ship (coupled with a new schol arship program we've been work ing on for next fall), and gener al house spirit. Over the last year we've been able to accum ulate about $2400 from under graduate building fees and with a good rush program this sum mer we should be able to do at least as well next year. \r\nPage Four ALUMNI NEWS Karl Jacobsen, '34, Paving, Port Spring Term, 1966 BEAVER FIJI Joe Oliver, '38, Rancher, John Day, Oregon.
