In the price of lumber there has come
a necessary demand for new build

SOUTH BEND MAN AT
PURDUE WINS HONOR

E y. Weber of South Bend was
among those elected to Tau Beta Pi,
an honorary fraternity. Friday at Pur-
due university. Membership n the
fraternity is based upon scholarship
and only those records throughout the
four years of college which have been
of the best are selected.
In awarding the nOnOrs, Pres't
Stone called attention TO the fact that
while Purdue gives prominence TO its
athletes il is also attentive TO those
who desire recognition along scholar
ship lines. He said that because Pur-
due emphasizes a technical education
it has been charged with neglecting
culture He denied the charge, de-
claring that the school has always
looked after the cultural development
of its students and believes that merit
in all lines should receive recognition.
Mr. Weber is the brother of George
Weber, teacher of manual training at
the high school.
