gf The building is unique in that one must Walk up one flight of stairs from the street level to reach the first floor. The ground floor is currently unde- fined. This quirk of architecture has generally been attributed to the fact that the functional portion of the building does not begin until the second level, but recently it was discovered that the sign painter Who did the numbering on the doors was a Mongolian idiot.

Machinery Hall has lots of machines. There are lathes and drill presses and grind- ers for making gears and cams and for gen- erally keeping busy during a three hour manufacturing processes lab. But in a great- er sense, the building has an association with science and industry-probably because its stairway looks like the coal mine at the museum, complete with Wire enclosed eleva- tor shaft housing an elevator that will bear no tuition-paying load.

Brown Hall was maliciously destroyed by the administration this year in its ruthless campaign to clear the campus of the glory of Chicago's past. It was done with no thought of the preservation of this, the shrine of fraternity row. Now it is gone. Good riddance. Nice though it is to be gone, no one can deny that Brown Hall gave its all to HT. It nursed the embryonic fraternity into the glory that now exists in maturity. It suckled WHT from a tiny carrier wave affair in the basement to what could become one of the finest college radio stations in the city. Brown Hall has been the home of five different fraternities. TEPhi on the first floor, SPhi E on the second floor, and at various times, AEPi, DLX fnow TKED and the departed Daedalians on the third floor. It makes a senior rather sad to think that in a few years, when the grass is established on the corner of Thirty-third and Michigan, the only Brown around campus will be in the dean's office. l
