(IFC) Under a plan approved by the USC Board of Trustees Jan. 25, the University will provide land between Bates House and Roost for individual fraternity houses, costing approximately $200,000 each. Financing arrangements for each new house-will be 25 per cent down and 30-year, 6 per cent mortgage. Mike Compton, advisor to USC fraternities and sororities, said the new fraternity houses will probably resemble an apartment complex, which the University will be able to use if a fraternity defaults on its payments. The problem for the individual fraternity that wants a new house is to raise the $50,000 down payment. Comp ton said this will probably require a 5-to 10-year fund raising program. While the fraternities desire to eventually move out of McBryde, Compton describes their present housing as "a good deal because it is close and cheap." Former IFC president Mike Runager said in February the physical condition of McBryde was near the point of "delapidation." Since that time, maintenance of the buildings has considerably improved, according to Lowman. The fraternities have been doing some of the painting and repairing themselves, for which the housing office gives the fraternities a 10 per cent rebate on their housing fee. Compton noted that membership is on the upswing on the national level and this trend would be seen inthe next few years at . USC. A number of national fraternities are interested in establishing local chapters at USC. Compton expects the new fraternities to possibly be the first groups to build the new houses if they want to be located on campus. Only one fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, has a house that is not in McBryde. The chapter is leasing a building on Whaley Street. 1976 Garnet and Black will be made at 2nd Floor Russell House or at various locations around campus. #Make your reservations today or tomorrow at Russell House Patio.
