German 'Haus'
Plans Are Set
For Summer
New Center Will Provide
Dining And Rooming
Facilities For Students
Final arrangements have been
made for the establishment of a cen-
ter for German students during the
coming Summer Session, Dr. Otto G.
Graf of the German department an-
nounced yesterday.
The center will provide housing
facilities for both men and women.
!Dr. Graf said. This year will, be the
first time ta the department has
attempted to bring togethernunder
one roof students of German and
students who wish to perfect their
conversational use of the tongue. For
the past three years, a German table
has been in existence for the Sum-
mer Session, but the opportunity
available for any extensive use of
German speakin was limited to
mealtimes.
The new venture will be housed in
the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity at
1315 Hill St. and will be called the
"Deutsches Haus." It is planned, Dr.
Graf said, to take advantage of every
opportunity to provide a truly Ger-
man atmosphere and numerous pic-
nics and parties will furnish the group
with ample extra-curricular activi-
ties.
If the "Haus" proves to be a suc-
cess, Dr. Graf expressed hope that
it will be made a permanent Sum-
mer Session fixture for German stu-
dents. Ability to use any foreign
language can be achieved only
through practice, Dr. Graf empha-
sized, and the Deutsches Haus will
not only provide an opportunity for
constant practice, but faculty men
and advanced students will offer their
help to those to whom speaking Ger-
man is still quite new.

to carry the proposal into their home
states.

be followed insecuring signatures for
the petitions, which will be sent to
Congress to indicate that some action

Dr. Walter Judd, medical missionary
to China, pointed out that our coun-
