The remaining area is being cleared by companies which will use the fallen timber for pulp, thus saving the Univer sity money, Perez said. Once the dam is completed in October, it will take approx imately two months for the lake to fill. At the present time, said Perez, no other plans have been formulated regarding the area. "Everything is in a sort of crystal-hall state," he said, but everything will be worked out as soon as the dam is finished.

He also said it might be a dis tinct possibility for the indi vidual fraternities to have cabins at the area. They would have to be built to certain spe cification, however.
