Members of Phi Kappa Psi and
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities are
returning to school without a
place to live because the university
refused to renew their leases
on the McBrydc Quadrangle.
The fraternities were not
notified of the change until the
middle of August, according to
Jerry Brewer, Dean of Student
Life. "All this has happened
a within the last three weeks," he
^ said.
The process began last year
when the university nousing otfice
evaluated the fourteen fraternities
on the quad, according to
Brewer. "What we wanted to
know wa;, were they using that
facility for what it was
intended."
As a result the university housing
office recommended that five
fraternities be denied lease

"The problem that most of the
groups had is that they were late
on payments of their rent and
they weren't filling their beds
with their membership. They
were filling them with people
from outside," he said.
"The fraternity gets the
privilege of using those lounces.
No other student groups have
that privilege," Brewer said.
"They need to have their
members living there. That's
what it's designed for."
After the five groups were
notified they may lose their housing,
they paid off their bills and
promised to have the required
number of members living in the
house, according to Brewer.

their house filled in the spring,

Traditionally black fraternities g
* arc moving onto the McBrydc E
Quadrangle for the first time in
USC's history. tl
In August the university gave a
Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Phi v
Alpha fraternities hall spaces on t
the quad when Sigma Phi Epsilon
and Phi Kappa Psi fraternities f
became ineligible to renew their F
leases.
In spring, anticipating open- v
ings in the quad, the university
housing office held a lottery. All
fraternities that were licenced student
organizations at USC and
not currently in McBryde
organizations were allowed to
^ participate, according to Jerry
Brewer, dean of student life.

have to move next semester if
money for asbestos removal there
is allocated by the State Budget |
and Control Board.
"We don't know whether or
not we'll get the money," said
David Rinker, system vice president
for facilities planning.
"When we begin the removal
depends so much on when we get
the funds." ^
About 22 to 25 wercs are
estimated for the Droiect.
USC asked the state legislature
for $1.2 million to remove
asbestos, a cancer-causing
fibrous material, from the ceilings
of the dorm, calling it the
university's main priority.
The legislature appropriated $8
million for asbestos removal
across the state and appointed a
task force to deteimine how the
money should be distributed.
"Although Columbia Hall is
our number one priority, it's difficult
to determine if the committee
will consider it that way,"
Kinker said, adding that $1.2
million is a "sizable share of the
$8 million" for the whole state.
The mmmitifp r-niilH enhmit its
recommendations to the budget
and control board sometime during
September, Rinker said, and
the board would have to approve
any allocations before they could
be made.
