Phi Beta Delta At The u. of F. Makes
Splendid Start For Years Work

their selection by the capable and
invaluable services rendered the
fraternity in making preparations
for the coming school year.
Delta's long existing hopes and
plans for new chapter home have
finally materialized from mere
ephemereal optimism to criditable
reality. The ground of the spa
cious lots favorably located on
West Union street was broken
with pomp and ceremony. Con-
struction on Phi Beta Delta's new
home is scheduled to begin imme-
diately. The building is designed
to house comfortably many more
boys than live in the present To-
cation, and will suit Delta's grow
ing demands perfectly, with its
commodiously designed rooms and
conveniences. The home will be
ready for occupation for the men,
bers of Phi Beta Delta in Febru-
airy.
AS has always been the policy
in the past, Phi Beta Delta plans
to take advantage of the extern
sive intra-mural program that is
offered on the campus of the Uni
versity of Florida. Although Del
ia lost quite few good athletes
from its rolls thru graduation last
June, the freshmen of the just
past pledge class have already
served notice of their enthusiasm
and ability for intra-murals.
Jack Suberman of Miami Beach,
who as a freshman last year won
the fraternity league high point
trophy, and is expected to repeat
his victory CT last year by cap
turing the trophy again this year,
to crowd P. B. DIS already over
crowded mantle. Suberman is the
only Jewish boy who has ever won
this cup, and did that so easily
last year that it is highly probable
that he will repeat this achieve
ment. Delta hopes to retain the
handball championship as well as
the diamond ball cup captured
last year and win some of the
events that it lost in either the
semi-fina.s or finals last year.
Last year Delta finished among
the top five fraternities on the
campus and has reason to hope to
finish in an even better position
this year.
Phi Beta Delta's persistence in
winning and retaining the coveted
scholarship trophy Of the Univer-
sity of Florida detracts from the
honor that it should have and
makes it seem as mere matter
of course. For the fifth consecu-
tive year, Delta has retained the
cup for outstanding scholarship
and established an all-time Uni
versity record by averaging IT
for all its brothers and pledges.
Although Delta lost such broth
ers, noted for their scholarship,
as Louis Snetman, Chester Cas-
sell, Arnold Rubin and Arson
Dreisen, and Leonard Pepper, it
still intends to keep the coveted
crown with the help of its dis
criminately chosen pledges. Many
of the University notables, includ-
ing President John ]. Tigert have
acknowledged through generous
praise p. B. DIS outstanding
achievement in scholarship.
Fall frolics have definitely been
set for October 20 to % by the
Jnterfraternity Conference. The
conference has not completed all
its plans but it is rumored that
the orchestra to be chosen for the
affair will be one that has nat
ional reputation for its ability.
P. B. D. has already begun max
ing its elaborate preparations, and
from all present indications this
Fall Frolic will surpass by far
Delta's successful efforts in the
past. Delta starts this coming
year with the realization of new
home and the hope that this year
will bring even greater triumphs
than those experienced in the
