Six Make Requests
lt
Houses
For
On 'Fraternity Row'
UK-Bui-

Six fraternities have applied for
houses on the proposed "fraternity
row" to be built by the University,
Frank D. Peterson, UK comptroller,
said this week.
School officials are investigating
the financial status of the fraternities to determine if they are qualified to enter into the arrangement,
Mr. Peterson said. The investigation will take about a month, he
said.
The six fraternities listed by the
comptroller are Lambda Chi Alpha.
Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi
Kappa Alha, Sigma Chi. and Phi
Delta Theta.
"The University probably will build
the houses for those that manage to
work out the final arrangements, but
it appears now that the project cannot be enlarged later to include fraternities which may decide to ask
for a structure after the others are
completed," Mr. Peterson said.
Houses To Cost $110,000 Each
Construction of from one to eight
fraternity houses was authorized by
the University Board of Trustees at
its September meeting. Under a
plan announced at that time the
cost of the buildings, approximately
$110,000 each, would be defrayed by
revenue bonds to be amortized over
a period of 30 years.
The new fraternity houses would
be leased to individual fraternities
after their completion. Rent paid
by the fraternities would be sufficient to pay interest on the bonds,
liquidate the debt, pay insurance
and maintain the buildings.
After the bonds are paid off, the
plan provides that the same fraternities would continue to operate the
houses at a greatly reduced cost.
Each house would accommodate 48
students.
Mr. Peterson said that the University launched the fraternity row
project "because both fraternities
and sororities have aided materially
in the overall UK housing program."
The comptroller, who serves also
as secretary of the Board of Trustees, emphasized that the fraternity
row plan was not proposed until
after a $1,900,000 dormitory to house
365 men was planned and money
secured for its construction.
The Scott Street barracks, which

now house more than 300 men, were
described by Mr. Peterson as "antiquated, dilapidated, and disgrace
to the campus." He explained that
the barracks will be abandoned for
housing after construction of the
new men's residence hall.
Mr. Peterson also recalled that the
fraternity housing proposal was not
suggested until after plans were
completed and accepted for a new
dormitory to house 304 women students. Application has been made
to the federal government for a loan
with which to construct this women's hall, he said.
