This year our guest is Reinhard Sander from Duisburg Germany and the Bonn University. Reinhard is an outgoing, friend‑ 1y person who has made friends fast at the house. He is studying Russian and American literature and notes that there are quite a few differences between German FIJI CALENDAR and U.S. schooIs. He equates the German schooIs to our graduate 1965‑1966 SChooIs, in that the students do ● not often have tests or is it neces‑ Sary tO attend class for important materiaL He compares it to doing research all the time.

ZETA INIT!ATES SPRING CLASS A九か動機 九Ioγ競αfion PlcαSc!

This dinner∴Can be a success only with many daughters, SO Send your names to the social chanrman at the chapter house today. \r\n This month Zeta completed a major house renovation and addi- tion. This represents the first ma- jor change in the house since 1952, when an addition was built to house an ever growing chapter. At present twelve men are living in an annex and they will move into the new structure over Christmas vacation. The new addition houses sixteen men but represents only a part of the oyerall renovation and mod- ernization of the present structure. The first floor living area was re- modeled. The mahogony stained wood was changed to a modern and lighter walnut tone. New wallpaper was added throughout, and new acoustical tile covers the ceiling in the living area. Perhaps the most noticable addition was nearly seventeen thousand dollars worth of new furniture for the living room, television room, card room, and the renovated senior den. The front of the house has been extensively changed. The front porch has been removed and been replaced by an inside vesti- bule and ground level porch. Mas- onry work was also done to the TV room to give the front of the house a more unified look. There will also be landscaping of the whole front area done this spring. The new wing is approximately thirty by forty feet and is two stories high. Eight rooms will house two men each with all rooms having built in desks and closets. One new innovation, which has proved successful in other campus fraternities, is that of having a small bunk room between every £yo rooms. This allows for sleep in a relatively quiet place and study in adequate light. Provision has also been made for future expansion in two areas. First, if more rooms are needed, it will be easy to connect the ad- ditions by means of dummy walls which have been installed where storage areas are at the end of the halls. Secondly, there are plans to move the kitchen into new fa- cilities under the addition and en- large the dining room. Three more improvements were made during the summer. One room was made into five study cubicles with built-in desks and lamps. New aluminum windows were installed in the original part of the house. Also, either new carpeting or a type of cork floor tile is being laid in sophomore, junior and senior halls in order to cut down on noise during study hours. The total cost of the improve- ments and addition cost nine-eight thousand dollars total, including approximately seventeen thousand dollars spent on furniture. The cost is being covered by a twenty- five year loan and contributions from graduate brothers. The urdergraduate brothers are very proud of the house as it now looks. We feel that this puts us m a more competitive position with many of the newer houses as far as physical plants are concerned. In addition, we would liike to express our thanks to the house - corporation for its untiring work in the planning and effecting of the house addition. They provided the constant supervision as well as the experience necessary to do the job that we undergraduates could not do alone. We hope that some time this year each of you will have the op- portunity to stop by the chapter house and see our greatly im- proved facilities. We might sug- gest that PIG DINNER would be an opportune time to visit us, as this is the date tentatively set for dedication. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
