Lambda Chi AgainTakes First Place

In ill Grand Prix

Chi Zeta swept to first place onMay 14 in the annual Illini GrandPrix. The race is held on a 2.2 milecourse winding through the campus. Forty laps are run for a totalof 88 miles in all.

After slipping to second placelast year following a win the yearbefore, we roared back to lead allthe way in this year's race withSigma Chi coming in second twolaps behind.

Following the race, a speed lapis held to determine the fastestbike rider. Duane Lempke set anew record of 5:11 in making theday a clean sweep for LambdaChi. Duane-also set a new recordof 5:10 for the first lap of the race.

Enrollment Boom MakingHousing Shortage

For the first time in many yearsthere is a critical housing shortage on the U of I campus for menas well as women according toProvost Lyle H. Lanier.

Lanier said that the 1961 predicted enrollment of 22,500 students on the Champaigii-Urbanacampus will be reached this fall,instead of a year from now.

At the end of July the University had issued permits to enterthe U of I to 700 students over andabove the existing housing facilities of the University owned dormitories and newly constructedMen's Residence Halls. These permits were issued in anticipation ofvacancies created by students deciding at the last minute not toattend Illinois.

Lack of residence facilities hasprevented the University from issuing permits to enter for womensince July 11.

In order to meet the increasingtide of incoming freshmen, severalfraternities at Illinois, notablySigma Chi, Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, Acacia, Phi Sigma Kappa and l?hi Kappa Sigma,have constructed sizable additionsto their chapter houses during thepast few years.

Several other fraternities have

the fund-raising operations underway to also begin the constructionof new additions.

Alumni, How Aboui Hearing From You?THE CHI ZETAGRAM depends in a large measure for its

Joe D. Foulk '58, 900 Dryden Rd.,Ithaca, N. Y., pleads with theZetagram editor, saying: "Please,Please—change my address!! I'mnot a 'Pfc," not a "Gen," not evenin the Army—THANK GOD!! I'mhere at Cornell as a Ph.D. aspirantin Entomology; married to KarlynKettelkamp, Gamma Phi Beta, Illinois Class of '57; and boasting ofone 14-month old son, Henry Forrest."

Joe, we're glad you're not in theArmy, too, and we have changedyour address accordingly. In answer to your inquiry about the address of two brothers, Dave Binder'59 and Ron "Harrisburg" Wilson'56, we can give you a 50% answer.Dave's permanent address is 518S. Church St., Waterloo, 111.; however, in our last listing for him,he was in the employ of Uncle Samc/o 3rd TRB, Ft. Leonard Wood,Mo. Our advice would be to usethe home address and request forwarding. We're sorry about Ron,but he is in our "missing persons"file. Perhaps some other brotherwill send us his address. If so,we'll pass it on to you in the nextissue of the Zetagram.
