History of the Day
Interfraternity Council plans for beautification of Greek Row area The Interfraternity Council asked DeKalb for $20,000 to $35,000 to beautify the Greek Row area, according to a Feb. 16, 1976, Northern Star article. The IFC and 1st ward Alderman Michael McDermott wanted landscaping of city-owned roadside with trees, shrubbery and flower beds. Then-IFC president Wayne Mills had planned to buy about 250 trees for the project.
The Northern Star is hiring reporters and columnists. Apply online at NorthernStar Jobs.info.
McDermott also asked the city for $300,000 over two years to fund a multipurpose recreational park system. McDermott said Greek Row was “grossly underdeveloped with regards to landscaping or any type of aesthetic appeal.” Two-thirds of the $300,000 would be for buying land, $15,000 for administrative costs and the rest would go to maintenance.
Other things had been done in support of the proposal like soil analysis, crime study of the Greek Row area and a survey of the residents’ aesthetic needs. A petition was also started to collect at least 1,000 signatures in support of the beautification project, along with the full support of the Student Association. The IFC planned to make its presentation to the City Council at its Feb. 23, 1976, meeting.
