Here on the Hill---- Skating and Skiing Smart This Winter
With a brand new skating rink and ski run to tempt them, winter-sports minded students are expecting the rest of the winter to be full of cold fun. The wood for bon fires to warm freezing hands and feet has been provided, so the less hardy may also enjoy themselves. The time for frolicking on the ice is from 7:30 to 9:30 every school night. So from now on, skating dates are going to be in the social light. PIIH GAMMA

Fire Ousts Beta's From Frat House
Forty-nine Beta Theta Pi's are now living in separate rooms scattered over town instead of under one roof, owing to a fire at the fraternity house, 1425 Tennessee, on Christmas day. Four men are still staying in the undamaged portion of the house, however, and members of the fraternity are eating noon and evening meals at the house.
Those now living in the partially destroyed structure are Jim Surface, Dick Pierce, Frank Arnold, and Don Mitchell. Before the fire there were 53 living in the house.
The fire, of unknown origin, badly damaged the house. The blaze started on the floor of a second-story room and spread upward to the third floor. The library and trophy room on the first floor of the house were also damaged when the fire burned through the second story floor.
Furniture in the south part of the house was damaged by smoke, flames, and water. Students' clothing, books, and notes were damaged also. None of the members of the fraternity who live at the house were staying there over the vacation. The fire was discovered by neighbors across the street.
Beta Theta Pi reports that the insurance will cover the damage.
Fire Chief Paul Ingels suffered an injury to his right knee when he fell while directing the fighting of the blaze. The chief fell about 18 feet when a portion of the second floor gave way and caused him to drop to the floor below.
The house was once the home of John Phillip Usher, Secretary of the Interior under Abraham Lincoln.
