Fraternity to build new house
Ground breaking ceremonies for the new Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house at 20th and Stewart Avenue were held Saturday.
First to turn earth for the threestory colonial-style chapter house were Bill Hadel, president of the fraternity's alumni expansion board, and Steve McDaniel. Prairie Village senior and president of Phi Kappa Theta.
The new frame house, facing east on Stewart Avenue between Tau Kappa Epilon fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, will be faced in white brick on the ends with dormers projecting from the black mansard roof on the third story.
"Construction should begin in the near future," McDaniel said.
Homecoming proves good time for reunion
A reunion that started as an experiment turned out to be a success Saturday.
The Class of 1957 reunion, the first class reunion ever held during Homecoming, was one of the largest 10-year reunions in KU's history.
Reunion organizers Rich Billings, class president from Denver, and Richard Bond, reunion chairman from Kansas City, said they felt the social climate of Homecoming Week would be superior to the traditional Commencement time.
Activities for the reunion weekend, including a reception and buffet before the game, blce seating at the Homecoming game and a dinner dance at the National Guard Armory, was attended by approximately 170 alums.
The alums were greeted at the buffet by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and Dick Winternote, director of the KU Alumni Office.
Financing for the reunion came from $700 set aside from the senior dues which was invested and had doubled by the time it was needed.
Bond said the homecoming proved "far superior" to any other time for the reunion and class members were talking about a similar plan for the 25-year get-together.
He also said several women said they had found it much easier to get their non-alun husbands to the KU-Kansas State football game than it would have been to drag them to Commencement.
