A second quarter touchdown pass from Dryden to Shields gave the Phi Gam's a victory over the Phi Psi's.

Single rooms in the building were described as "prank proof" because all furniture except chairs is to be built into the walls. There also will be double and triple bedrooms as well as collective living rooms for 353 occupants.
Patterson's chief worry is lack of reserve strength.
The structure will have a serpentine, zig-zag appearance so that most rooms may overlook the Charles river.
