is not entirely the result of their
trips to the local "Pub." The major
part of the noise and celebration is
a result of four years of study and
persistence that has paid off in div

(To put it in a rather flowery ver
nacular.) What this article is try

House Starts Own Library;
Book Lending for Brothers
Gamma Deuteron has, in the last
year, tried to revive its antiquated
and somewhat useless library facili
ties so that the brothers might have
a handy and useful collection of ref
erence and leisure reading material.
In so doing it has worked at two
levels. The first is a rather unique
idea that attempts to secure from
the brothers permanently or on sem
ester loan text books that might be

use. In this way a person could save
money on text books and at the same
time contribute to the library fund.

STEVE COX, the happy farmer,
has been able not only to secure an
assistantship to Wisconsin for him
