A1

The new house is located on
the same site as the old house,,
on the corner of State and Madi-
son. The old house was torn down
a year ago to make way for the
$225 thousand dollar structure.
The house is divided into two,
wings. The single level north wing+
contains a lounge, library and a
suite for the house mother, Mrs.
Benjamin. The lower level of the
south wing houses the recreation
room and dining facilities.
The upper two floors of the
wing are the living quarters. The
Betas have a two man suite sys-
tem and forty of the brothers live
in the house.
The new house was built be-
cause it was unfeasible for the
fraternity to maintain the old
building which was built in 1903.
During the year of building the
new house, the Betas lived in
what has now become the Tau
Epsilon Phi house.

BETA THETA PI-The University's oldest fraternity dating back to 1845, moved into the newest
house on campus. The new house stands on the site of the old Beta house which was built in 1903.

Carlos Montoya, acclaimed as
the world's foremost flamenco
guitarist, will play here at 8:30
P.M. October 7 in the Ann Arbor
High Aud.
Montoya, a guitarist since the
age of eight, is the first performer
to work without the aid of a
singer or dancer.
He is "gitano por los cuatro cos-
tados" or literally, "Gypsy on all
four sides." He plays flamenco as
his ancestors played it "froni the
heart" or without a planned
score.
First Lessons
His first lessons were at the
age of eight from his mother, then
came lessons from a barber in
Madrid. Then came the school of
experience. At fourteen Carlos
Montoya was playing in the cafes
for such dancing artists as Juan
el Estampio. La Macarrona and
La Camisona.
When the late Antonia Merece
came to Madrid looking for a gui-
tarist, she chose Montoya who,
for the first time, left his native
Spain. He toured three years with
Merece and then went on with
other artists.
In 1945 he gave the first full
concert recital of flamenco mu-
sic, the first as he was the only
artist with a broad enough reper-
toire to entertain for a full eve-
ning.
Immediate Success
Gaining immediate success,
Montoya gave solo recitals in Eu-
rope and throughout the United
States and Canada, culminating
his tour with an appearance in
Town Hall, New York. That ap-
pearance the overflow audience
had to be placed on the stage.
Although he never plays an ar-
rangement of his without adding
something new, he has had much
of his work published in an ef-
fort to capture the Gypsy spirit
of flamenco, played by Montoya.
A daily newspaper review said
"Carlos Montoya literally stopped
th eshow with virtuoso guitar
playing that seemed to evoke the
very soul of Spain.

eclipses, however, are rarer; any
one place will average only one
total eclipse every 360 years.
Scientists today study eclipses
for knowledge of the surface of
the moon, an dthe outer atmos-
phere of the sun. In ancient times
eclipses received more respect. The
oldest recorded eclipse is mention-
ed in Chinese records of the year
719 BC.
Probably the most dramatic one
was a lunar eclipse of August 27,
413 BC when the Athenian armies
of Demosthenes and Nicias were
making ready for their departure
from Syracuse.
The eclipse, occuring before the
order for departure had been
given, caused the men to clamor
against leaving the encampment.
Nicias relented and decided to
wait 27 days - giving the Syra-
cusans the chance to destroy the
entire Athenian force, and to
change the course of history.

The Kresge Foundation ."has
invited us to apply at intervals for
addiitonal funds" to support the
new hearing research center at the
University Medical Center, William
N. Hubbard, Jr., dean of the medi-
cal school said yesterday.
Stanley Kresge, president of the
Foundation, Monday presentedr
University President Harlan
Hatcher with the initial $200,000
installment of the $1,750,000 ex-
pected to finance the institute's
construction. When completed it
will be the world's largest medicall
laboratory devoted to research on
hearing.
"The assumption," Hubbard con-
tinued, "is that if the funds arel
available at the time the appli-
cations will be granted."
The facility, announced Mon-l
day, will be known as the Kresge'
Hearing Research Institute and is1
expected to be completed in the
academic year 1962-63. The plan-
nned five-story addition to the
Kresge Medical Research Building
will contain special equipment for
studying hearing and its disorders,
and will be used by several bran-'
ches of the medical school for a
broad, multidisciplinary attack onl
the problems involved.
Wilbur Pierpont, University vice-1
president for business and finance,
said construction is expected to
begin next spring.
The building will have 36,000
feet of floor space. Its architects

Thieves Rob
'U' Residences
Thieves have unburdened cam-
pus buildings of more than $650

enports and two large table lamps
from West Quadrangle, and two
large bamboo porch chairs from
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority

stolen Monday night and yester-
