I Housing By Michael Gooding Gamecock Staff Writer A proposal to create additional Greek housing on College, Green and Henderson streets was rejected by the Columbia Zoning Board of Adjustments Tuesday, June 12, according to Marsha Duncan, dean of student affairs. Duncan, the only USC representative at the hearing, said she met with ''considerable opposition," primarily from area residents. Others opposed to the proposal were faculty members who are residents of the area or have offices there, and students representing the Nada Apartments on College Street. OTHER REASONS for the rejection of the proposal were residents' concern for noise and the general impact on the neighborhood, Duncan said. The proposal was also rejected because the neighborhood is a historical nrncnrwi fi An n o <1 n pi vauuii ai ua , av. cording to Thomas Gottshall, the attorney representing the area residents.
