Yesterday’s front-page article, “Beta Theta Pi plans to return to Rugby Road” incorrectly stated that “some Beta Theta Pi members burned down the original Delta Upsilon house in 1969.” An accompanying front-page photo caption also incorrectly stated that “Beta Theta Pi sold Delta Upsilon its original housei n the late 1960s after Beta Theta Pi members burned down Delta Upsilon’s fraternity house.” In actuality,
according to a Sept. 16, 1969 edition of The Cavalier Daily, the original Delta Upsilon fraternity house at 170 Rugby Rd. was first seen burning June 20, 1969. No official cause for the fire was established at the time.
The Cavalier Daily regrets the error.
