Phi Psi House Remodeling Completed At Indiana Campus
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house at 1100 Indiana Street underwent extensive remodeling that began at the start of the term last fall. A large south end addition created a sun room on the ground floor and several study rooms above, built in brick to match the main structure. A north addition added a three room suite for the housemother, while the east side expanded the kitchen and storerooms and increased sleeping capacity. The entire interior was refinished with California stucco plaster on the walls downstairs and fresh woodwork paint throughout. The upgraded spaces have been used for months as remodeling finished early last term.

Antarctic base colors aid landing and landmark clarity
An Antarctic expedition plans bright orange houses to serve as visible landmarks for aviators returning to base, avoiding black which blends with shadows on snow. The choice, backed by expedition official Richard G. Brophy, emphasizes practicality over aesthetics. Nearby Montclair, New Jersey uses yellow lettering on a black roof to mark the Lakehurst air field for approaching air travelers.
