Phi Kappa Tau's to Construct Multi Thousand Dollar House
For at least one group of men at KU, second-century changes are no longer only visionary. A unique and novel design in fraternity living has given them something to celebrate this centennial year at the University.
The unusual structure is to be completed for Phi Kappa Tau fraternity in time for the start of the 1966-67 school year at a cost of more than $250,000.

Kansas City, is internationally known for his work. Goff's design offers an entirely new concept in fraternity living which will add more comforts and conveniences for the men.
The fraternity hopes to begin its project in Fraternity Place on Stewart Avenue next spring.
The design utilizes a triangular base with a cluster of 12 small residential and service buildings around a larger structure which would house lounge and dining facilities on a lower floor and a chapter meeting room on an upper floor.
TEN OF THE 12 smaller units would be for groups of eight residents each. All would have two floors, one for sleeping, the other for study. All of the structure would be connected by enclosed passageways.
The fraternity, which now has space for 33 men at 1332 Louisiana avenue, will almost triple its capacity upon the completion of the new building.
"ALL MEMBERS are very pleased with the new design of the proposed house and are excitedly looking forward to moving in next fall," said Jim Kapp, pledge president.
"Because each unit is connected and for more comfort, a better study environment and more space for living offered by the design of the structure, the men will actually be drawn closer together," he said.

"We wanted something new, different, lively—something that would stand out." Kapp said.

Plans for the structure also call for a swimming pool to be built in the center of the structure. However, according to University rules on the matter, the pool will not be for swimming.
Other fraternities have tried to build swimming pools with their new houses, but could not get the idea approved by the University.
Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Daily Including Sunday
RATHER THAN destroy the effect of design by leaving out the swimming pool, the pool will be converted into a lily-pond about a foot deep to add to the garden decor.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, in his convocation speech last Monday, made mention of the work of the University Committee on Objectives for the Second Century which is concerned with the development of a residence college system.
