Architect's Drawing Of Women's Dormitory $800,000, and if the details of the construction plan receive the Board's approval, construction will begin immediately. The new aormirory, in its finan- vial aspect, is an experiment in the construction of University build- ings. The financial scheme, which has been worked out by Henry Hart, '14L, vice president of the .Detroit and Security Trust company, assumes ownership by the Univer- sity of all land necessary for the site of the new dormitory. The University already owned part of the land near Palmer field when the t Regents first took action re- garding the project last April. Funds for the purchase of such other land as may be necessary have been guaranteed to the Uni- versity by Mason P. Rumney, '07E, and amount to nearly $60,000. Bonds To Finance Erection The actual construction of the dormitory will be made possible by leasing this land to the Guardian Trust company of Detroit, which will issue bonds to finance the erection of the building, releasing the completed property to the Uni- versity at an anual rental of 8 per cent of the construction costs. In order that the dormitory may pay for its construction, the in- come from it must be $64,000 aI year, or 8 per cent of $800,000, the estimated cost of the building. That this net income will be assured has been shown by a sub- committee which has worked out an estimate of" the income from the building and the expenses involved in its upkeep and repair. The members of this committee were: Paul Buckley, general manager of the Union, Dr. Harley A. Haynes, director of the University hospital, and Miss Lenna Cooper, food direc-I tor of the University. They have e e .1 4 1 , t . f i ,' . t < '1 1 .' ; open on a terrace on the west. The first-floor rooms on the east will be sufficiently lighted to be used for storerooms, and on the west the drop in elevation will permit the rooms to be used for dining rooms. Approach To Be Short Cut The architects' plan contem- plates a "short cut" across Palmer field. It is expected that the resi- dents will use this approach from the campus almost exclusively. Visitors and those coming by auto- mobile will use the entrance from Observatory street. Walking dis- tance will be 500 yards from the northeast corner of the campus to the center of the entrance terrace. The main entrance to the build- ing from the east will really be on the second floor, since the first floor of the building will be below the street level on this side. Sunk- en gardens are to fill the space be- twen the building and the street, and spanning the gardens will be' two entrance bridges. The dormi- tory is to be of red brick with stone trimmings and of fireproof construction. Each of the two wings of the building will house 250 women, al- though one kitchen will serve both groups. Each wing will have its separate entrance hall,. reception room, living room, book iook, and enclosed porch, as well as two din- ing roms, each accommodating 125. I supper was given at the chapter house after the game yesterday for alumnae and guests from the Wis- consin chapter. Delta Gamma gave a faculty din- ner Thursday evening. Their guests were: Professor Louis A. Strauss and Mrs. Strauss, Mr. Robert K. Winters and Mrs. Winters, Dean Humpheys, Mr. Bruce M. Donald- son, and Miss Adelaide Adams. Gamma Phi Beta entertained over the week end: Miss Lucinda Sher-I wood, '27, from Grand Haven, Judge3 Lee Johnson and Mrs. Johnson of Detroit, Miss Jane Dribble from the Epsilon chapter at Cleveland, and Miss Ruth Moore, '28. The sorority gave its pledge formal last night. Mrs. Ella B. Anderson and Prof. Everett Brown and Mrs. Brownl were chaperones at the dance. The colors, brown and mode, were car- with the reception room, elevated by three steps, so planned that it can be used as a stage for amateur dramatics or musicales. There will be room enough to seat each girl in the group, or to give dancing room for a hundred or more couples. An enclosed porch overlooking the ath- letic field, a book nook, and small parlors will give opportunity for privacy while opening in friendly fashion on the living room. It is, in general, planned that the social areas shall be comparable in space per student to the Lawyers' club or Betsy Barbour house.l Dining Rooms Will Seat 700 Situ ed on the first floor in the central portion of the building will bae two dining rooms similar to those in the Union summer porch, and opening on the terrace overlooking Palmer field. In addition, there will be two dining rooms in pro- jecting pavilions, lighted from three sides. During the football season 700 people can be served at a sitting in the four dining rooms. Each wing of the building will have five floors, served by separate elevators. Most of the students' rooms will be 15 feet 9 inches long and 11 feet wide, with two closets. They will contain two cots, two study desks with chairs, two chif- per poured. PAN ' HELLENIC HOL.DS ITS ANNUALBA UE Bowls of flowers and autumn leaves will center the long, tables at the fourth annual Pan-Hellenic banquet, which is being held to- morrow evening, at 6:30 o'clock in the main ballroom of the Michigan Union. This annual banquet is the one event of the year at which all the members of all the sororities on campus are gathered together, , ]id it is here that the rewards for the various activities in which the sor- orities have participated are made. Most important of the rewards is the scholarship cup which is given at each banquet to the sorority having had the highest scholarship during the previous school season. This year the cup will be presented by Dean John R. Effinger, of the Literary school. Prominent guests who will at- tend the function this year are: Mrs. Clarence Cook Little, Dean Joseph R. Bursley and Mrs. Burs- ley, Dean John R. Effinger and Mrs. Effinger, Miss Alice C. Lloyd, Miss Beatrice W. Johnson, Miss Grace E. Richards, Dr. Margaret Bell, Mrs. Arthur Moehlman, Mrs. Palmer Christian. The Women's League will be rep- resented by Mary White, president of that organization. President Clarence Cook Little has notified the organization that he will be unable to attend the banquet this year, as in previous years. Florence Holmes, '29, will be the toastmistress of the occasion this year and the annual custom of each sorority sing their sorority song will be carried out as usual. tire fori' I The large living rooms, 37 feet foniers, and one easy chair.
