UWO PURCHASES CHAPTER HOUSE The brothers of Acacia's first Canadian chapter recently purchased a home in which to house themselves. After almost a year of negotiations, the members moved into their beautiful new home in September. The active members and alumni, all 11 of them, raised slightly over $30,000 dollars amongst themselves to purchase the 7 bedroom home. They also were able to arrange short term financing for an addi-
tiona! $20,000 dollars to cover the down payment. The chapter raised over $50,000 by themselves to purchase the house. The house, located at 966 Richmond Street in London, Ontario, will house 13 men, making it one of the largest on campus. It is the fraternity located nearest to campus. If you plan to visit our Canadian brothers, don't forget your swimming trunks. The chapter house has an outdoor swimming pool.
