The Graduate Advisor attends the Greek Advisor’s Council meetings. The greek housing
proposal has received the support of Dr. Harter. Phase two of the plan is in progress to gain
support for the proposal from the greek community. The majority of the greek community as a
whole must commit to 20 bed spaces. If this is not agreed upon, greek housing at UNLV will not
become a reality and it is believed the issue will not be brought up again for years if ever. Pete
Glass is compiling an NPHC informational brochure to mail to all African American students for
the Fall 2001 semester.

donate $465 to AFAN.
