Burrowes Rd. Few of the brothers escaped from the house with more than the clothes on their backs and others returned from class to find everything they owned at Penn State, other than the textbooks they carried, consumed by the fire. Two years ago the fraternity invested nearly 560,000 to remodel the second and third floors of the 40-year-old house. This year nearly $ll,OOO had been invested to remodel the first floor, when new furniture, rugs and paintings were added. One member estimated damages to the physical plant of the building, not including personal belongings of the mem bers. in the neighborhood of 5200,000. State College fire chief William Lower issued no state ment concerning estimated damage. "It was too late in the day to check the building," he said. "It started out to be a really good day," a Sigma Nu brother commented. "Everybody was looking forward to the pledge formal Saturday. We were to begin work on decora tions today." Minutes after news of the fire reached the Dean of Men's office, James A. Rhodes, assistant to the Dean of Men for fraternity affairs. was on the scene with staff assistant Terry Henderson, and they immediately began to check into temporary or permanent places for the Sigma Nu members to stay. The members were given lunch at Sigma Chi, whose president George Cassino (11th-civil engineering -Garfield, N.J.) offered facilities of the Sigma Chi house for a Sigma Nu meeting. In the meeting at 1 p.m. yesterday Rhodes thanked the 40 fraternities that had responded to the calls of Henderson and IFC president John Hunt, and were prepared to offer housing and board to the homeless Sigma Nus. Cold Foods Inc. offered to supply the houses volunteering services with food for the new boarders. Later in the day Rhodes received numerous calls from persons and businesses offering housing space to the fraternity members. University Realty offered a new apartment house to all the brothers The University offered two Nittanv dormitories to house the group collec tively. State College residents also phoned offering their houses. The immediate problem of obtaining textbooks and clothes for the 33 men will be shouldered by the State College Junior Chamber of Commerce, working in conjunction with Sigma Chi, which is serving as the center for clothes and textbook gathering. Yesterday afternoon and evening persons gave everything from socks to cigarettes and pillows to tooth paste to the Sig ma Nus. Clothing and textbook stores have offered to extend complete credit to the fraternity members. One clothing store offered all members a shirt, pair of slacks and socks. Ironically this is National Brotherhood Week and Greek Week at Penn State. The meaning of the week and the per sonal tragedy will long remain in the minds of the members of Delta Delta chapter of Sigma Nu. s , 'Hey! How About a Little More Pressure Down There?'
