Stoking for
New Dorms
Underway
Workmen on the new women's
idormitories to be constructed
along E. College avenue behind
Simmons Hall have begun stak
ing out the area in preparation
,for excavation, which is expected
to be started in a few days.
' Walter H. Wiegand, director of
Physical Plant, said yesterday
that the contractor and the super
visor have been looking over the
site for several days.
The project, which will consist
of four dormitories and a dining
center, is expectd to be completed
by fall, 1957.
The dorms, 'which will have
facilities for 1064 coeds, will be
located along E. College avenue,
extending from Shortlidge road
to Eastview terrace.
Each of the four buildings will
consist of two complete residence
units, and a central dining hall
with four dining rooms.
All buildings will be of red
brick with limestone trim, resemb
ling the combination used in the
Hetzel Union Building.
The dorms will have four main
floors, while the dining center
will have two floors.
Each of the eight units will be
approximately 160 feet long and
40 feet wide. The over-all length
of each building will be 315 feet.
The two living units in each
building will be separated by
glass-enclosed stairwells.
Two sorority lounges will be
housed on the main floor of each
unit, which will make eight loun
ges available for sororities to rent.
These will be about the size of
four student rooms and will in
clude a kitchenette and storage
space adjoining the lounge.

No Phys Ed Funds
Available for Dam
Editorial on page four
Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the College of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics, said yesterday his college has no funds at
present to donate to the development of the proposed Beaver
Dam recreation area.
All-University Cabinet last week passed a pending mo
tion to donate $5OOO to the Beaver Dam project in hopes that
other interested groups would do
nate further funds to the $50,000
needed to complete improvements
on the area.
It was suggested that the Col
lege of Physical Education and
Athletics, which had shown in
terest in theh project, donate in
surance money from a ski lodge
which burned down in 1950 to the
Beaver Dam proposal.
McCoy doubts the insurance
money could be given to the pro
ject as the ski lodge was "in all
probability, constructed by the
University, and couldn't possibly
have belonged to the Physical
Education college." Therefore, any
insurance money collected after
the fire was turned over to the
University, McCoy said.
The lodge might even have
been a class gift to the Univer
sity, McCoy said, and the insur
ance money would belong to the
donating class.
The Physical Education college
receives tax fund appropriations
from the University to cover ex
penditures of this type, he said,
but no funds out of the appropria
tion have been set aside for the
Beaver Dam project. The college
has long range plans to improve
the area, but it would be an ex
pensive proposition with a mini
mum of $12,000 needed just to
clear the artificial lake and con
struct bathing facilities, he said.
The bathing area could not be
constructed from the Cabinet ap
propriation and the fire insurance
money alone, McCoy said. The
lake must be emptied first to clear
the bottom of tree stumps and
other obstructions. Then the dam
must be repaired, and a sandy
beach built up for bathers.
The buildings and other im
provements would have to come
later. he said. McCoy has no
idea where further funds might
come from to complete the pro
ject. The University might go
along and provide the insurance
funds to the project, he said.
All-University Cabinet also sug
gested that the $25,000 combined
gifts of the classes of 1948, 1949,
and 1950 be donated to the pro
ject.
The funds were originally desig
nated for a University printing
press. The idea was later termed
unfeasable, and the money was
placed in trust for future use of
the combined classes.
Ridge Riley, secretary of the
alumni association, said Cabinet,
in order to have the funds chan
neled into the Beaver Dam pro
ject, would have to get the per
mission of the secretaries of the
classes involved to contact each
member of the class for their ap
proval.
Return postcards could then be
sent out to the class members to
obtain a sampling of opinion,
Riley said. This would have to be
carried out through the Alumni
Association, he said, as his office

Protests Racial
Discrimination
The Phi Sigma Kappa frater
nity at Dartmouth College has
severed connections with its na
tional fraternity in protest of rac
ial discrimination.
The New York Times reported
yesterday the chapter said it pro
tested because "it is incongruous
forany organization founded on
brotherhood to sanction discrim
ination on the grounds of race,
color, or creed.'
Reorganizing on a local basis
only, the chapter took the name
Phi Tau fraternity at Dartmouth.
"We have been under no com
pulsion, save that of our own con
sciences, to take this action," the
chapter sa-l. "Our primary alleg
iance as a college organization is
to Dartmouth, and affiliation with
the national organization is not
necessary for the successful exist
ence of a fraternity on this cam
pus."

Wolfgang E. Meyer, professor
of engineering research, will talk
