OO T Sorority Houses — To Be Or Not oy uT Sorority Row — is it possible? Students have always enjoyed Frat Row. Carload after carload of girls cruise the circle as the guys enjoy the attention while playing football in the spacious areas surrounding the houses. Is MSU ready for the same situation in reverse? Land for the sorority houses has been appropriated directly across from the Sigma Chi house off the Highway 12 entrance to the campus. Roads are ex- pected to be put in some time next year. The future of sorority row lies in the hands of the sororities themselves. Each sorority must raise the money through the various alumni chapters and at the local level. With high con- struction costs and high interest rates, the cost becomes a large problem. Many girls favor the idea of an ir dividual building to house their sistei rather than having a floor in Rice ( Hathorn Hall, as is the present statu The general consensus, however, is or of want but waver. While the id( sounds very appealing, numeroi problems could cause interferenc Socio-economics becomes a major facti — the cost of living in a house wou be high; therefore, the number of gii able to join a sorority would decline, bond seems to unite the 12 indepe: dent groups at MSU. The sorori spokespeople feel that they are n ready to play the game of the have versus the have-not ' s. K. Robins( Aaron Harris - Some people believe that the house will be a large influence during rush but I believe that is just part of sorority competition. ►Kelly Clemens - If the sororities had houses, more pro- grams and social functions would provide a basic improvement of the many services that sororities provide.

Jij - ' ' ■ ' ' P ■ Suzana Maciel Suzana Maciel is from the city of Sete Lagoas, the state of Belo Horizonte and the country of Braz il. She is a graduate student in educational psychology at MSU and hopes to finish her master ' s degree in May. Other than her vibrant per- sonality, what makes Suzana sparkle are the colorful semi- precious gemstones she shows to friends and interested buyers. Suzana ' s uncle in Brazil facets or cuts rough gemstones into the brilliant stones. His inventory of jewels include diamonds, emeralds, rubies, aquamarine, amethyst, topazes, citrine and quartz. When she graduates from MSU, Suzana plans to return toBrazil and either teach at a university or work for an inter- national industry since she is fluent in English. Suzana and her sister serve as representatives for their uncle ' s business. They happily give private showings of their stones to anyone interested. Periodical- ly their uncle sends another col- lection of gems from Brazil which Suzana weighs and prices individually. One of her more spectacular gems is a yellow topaz weighing over 90 carats. Suzana also owns a collection of amethyst jewelry designed and cast by her uncle out of 18K yellow gold.
