( Con tinued ons Page E ight ) Group To Study Frat Housing Three faculty members and four stu dlents, heads of fraternities, were ap pointedl on a committee to sttudy frater nity housing conditions at a meeting held Wednesday afternoon. T. F. Ball, R. L. Sumwalt, antd John A. C:hase. Jr. were members of the fac ulty appointed, and Bill Btochman, Sigma Clhi, James Tomlinson, Phi Sigma Kap pa, D)ick Ilorger, S. A. E., and Henry Dargan, A. T. 0., were student members chosen. The nominations were made by W. 11. Ilarth, director of student activi ties. The group wvill consider the advisability f changing the conditions that now exist relative to the housing of fraternities on the campus, the possibility of moving fraternities off the campus, or of build ing new quarters with governmene money. A year ago, due to conditions then ex sting, fraternities were required to move their qtarters to the campus proper, and give up their fraternity houses off the campus. Sororities also gave- up their houses, although they are now permitted to have meeting roomis off the campus. Lack of funds has prevented the build ing of a "fraternity row" for the hous ing of the groups. This phase of the housing problem will -be taken up by the newly appointedt committee.
