<p>Okay…I’ve seen people mention floor 5 of Hans Bethe…and I’m kind of confused…</p>

<p>This is the only Hans Bethe Pic I’ve seen: [Hans</a> Bethe House](<a href=“http://hansbethehouse.cornell.edu/]Hans”>http://hansbethehouse.cornell.edu/)</p>

<p>It looks like only 4 floors. How is there a floor 5?</p>

<p>Also, is “Bethe - Main” the building pictured? The newer one?</p>

<p>Last…uhh…how is Bethe pronounced? I know it isn’t like “Beth”</p>

<p>Cornell is hilly, so the first floor is probably down at the slope.</p>

<p>Don’t know.</p>

<p>Beta.</p>

<p>Bethe house has two ends, North(Main) and South Bethe, the one in the picture is South bethe which does not have 1st floor. Any building which does not have a gothic structure is new!</p>

<p>This is the gothic one:</p>

<p>My god, is Bethe really pronounced “beta”? I can’t believe I’ve been mispronouncing it the whole time…</p>

6

<p>Haha…I did too until someone corrected me :-)</p>

<p>Beta? Okay…lol thanks.</p>

<p>And so…I’m in North Bethe…and that’s South Bethe in the picture? So is there a picture of North anywhere?</p>

<p>Also…the stuff behind the picture of McFaddin - is that part of Cornell or a distant shopping center?</p>

8

<p>Distant shopping plaza…I think that’s where Wal Mart, Lowe’s and Bed, Bath and Beyond is.</p>
