uiet Hours Fail to Calm Construction One-Fourth of Fraternal Groups Expand Or Remodel, Spending $1,900,000 in All; Three Houses Added on Jordan Avenue
by yelling "quiet hours" as a signal that it E was time to study, organized students could not calm air guns, bulldozers, and other construction machinery this year. Buildings were going up all around them—even where they lived. Expansion was an obvious pattern among the organized, with one-fourth of all units spending a total of more than $1,900,000 for improvements and expansion. Some fraternity houses will provide space for as many as 40 more men. The three biggest building projects were under way on North Jordan avenue (New Fraternity Row). The new home of Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity, with an estimated cost of $275,000, was the most extensive undertaking. Men of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity moved into their recently completed quarters this Winter, and ground was broken for the new Gamma Phi Beta Sorority house, which will be at the far north end of the row. Additions have been built onto eight organized houses. All have been designed to provide more sleeping and study space, and a few also include larger dining facilities. The eight houses belong to Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Theta Chi Fraternities and Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma Sororities. VEN
At Christmas time, Acacia Fraternity had a lot of frontage to decorate
this year, for its new east wing more than doubled the length of its house.
