Under a plan approved Jan. 25 by the USC Board of Trustees, in dividual fraternities will be able to build houses costing between $100,000 and $200,000 in a university development between Bates House and the Roost. The next step, Runager said, is for each fraternity to raise funds to meet the university's terms of 25 per cent down and a 30-year, 6% per cent mortgage. Whether a fraternity is able to build its own house depends on it is getting funds from the fraternity's alumni association, according to Runager. "I think the respon sibility is on the alumni association as far as the monetary aspect of it goes," he said. Since all the fraternities will not be able to move off campus because of insufficient funds, the Board of Trustees has agreed to let them use McBryde Quadrangle till such time as they move.

While no substantial changes will be made in the fraternity quadrangle, the university has agreed to make some im provements, Runager said. Objections to the Board of Trustees plan may come up later, according to the IFC president. "There's a lot of things they haven't covered in there you wouldn't run into till you start construction." "W9're going to have to probe into this thing to see if it's really good and get some type of resolution from IFC," he said. Runager said one of the larger fraternities, Sigma Chi, was off campus now and added it was the long-range goal of every fraternity in McBryde to move out of the Quadrangle area.
