Pays Down Payment
Young Falk plunged. He paid
the full amount as a down pay
ment on a men's rooming house,
near the campus. It prospered and!
provided Faik's living quarters.
During the summer months he
repaired and remodeled the house
to improve the property. His in
come went up. He bought 47 acres
of oak woods near Madison, di
vided this into sections and sold
the land.
- Two of the pieces brought me
more than I paid for the whole
47," he recalls.
Bought Another House
He bought another rooming
house. He repaired it arid soon it
was filled to capacity. He topped
his achievement with a trade—
the first house for another and a
,cash profit.
During these transactions and
management of properties, Falk
studied, took part in student gov
ernment and activities of his frat
ernity and went out for crew. And
'he married a pretty sociology stu
dent from Milwaukee, Arlene
Plotkin.
Now in Senior Year
Now 21 and'in his senior year,
,the dairy husbandry major is H
am:dating his holdings and finds
that he has approximately $30,000

College degrees are just around
the corner for himself and his

except in a real estate course. He
