Housing

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
