The direct loan program, by eliminating subsidies paid to banks and guarantee agencies under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL), eliminates the middleman of other student loan programs and reduces the interest paid on a student loan, Riley said. "We have, through out direct loan program, offered the opportunity for millions of young people to borrow money at lower costs on better repayment terms in a way that is less hassle for college and universities, less paperwork and actually saves the government money because we take out the middleman," Clinton said. the demolition of University Terrace resulted in a halfmillion-dollar loss for housing. The establishment of the Residential College will cost housing $7,500.

An exhibition step show and talent show are also in store for the week. The events of the week and other Greek events are designated to benefit the Orangeburg community, Corbett said. At S.C. State, there are eight fraternities and sororities, whose members live both on and off campus. Dues for Greeks range from $300 to $700 per semester. Greek Week at Arkansas is in the fall.
