St. that was recently vacated by
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Five other
Greek organizations entered the lottery.
Associate Dean of Student Affairs Mark
Shanley said the sorority moved out of the
house because of rent and utility bill
problems, and "they couldn't get the
minimum number of members.*'
WHEN THE sorority left, Student Affairs
invited the chartered groups without oncampus
housing and meeting space to apply
for the house, Shanley said. "We decided
that a lottery was the fairest way to decide."

The house will cost Kappa Alpha Psi $225
a month plus utilities, according to Shanley.
Before moving in, they will have to sign a
lease, renovate and provide furnishings.
Shanley said the house provides living space
i or six memDers.
Kappa Alpha Psi member Marx Davis
said, "We're still in the process of deciding
who will live there . . . It's not in bad shape;
it needs to be painted and needs a few minor
repairs.
DAVIS SAID residents of the house will
pay about $400 a semester. The money will
be used to pay rent and utilities and for an
emergency fund for any problems that may
arise, he said.
Davis said that since Kappa Alpha Psi is
the first black fraternity to get on-campus
housing, it will come under close scrutiny by
university officials. "I guess you call it

Black Greek organizations have been
trying for years to obtain on-campus
housing.
An earlier attempt was killed two years
ago when a proposal to create additional
Greek housing in the area of Greene,
Henderson and College streets was turned
down by the City of Columbia.
THE COLUMBIA Zoning Board of Adjustments
in June 1979 rejected a request by
