Kappa Sigma suspended by national organization
By DANIEL BURNETT
The Red & Black
For the third time this year, a
University fraternity has been
suspended.
Kappa Sigma fraternity is
under investigation by its nation
al organization, but the nature of
any allegations leading to the
investigation is not being
released.
“At the present time the chap
ter is at a suspension of opera
tions and we are in the process of
going through our due process,"
said Mitch Wilson, executive
Some pay
big bucks
for game
parking

To some football fans, the reces
sion is non-existent on game day.
Chuck Moore, an ’Bl University
alumnus, has been a season ticket
holder for 30 years and his days of
parking on campus were over after
he bought two parking spaces at
Tailgate Park —a tailgating area
on Pope Street.
“I had permitted parking at
Hull Street, but the parking
became tightened to a point where
it wasn’t fun to tailgate anymore,”
Moore said. “The restrictions
around the parking everything
from the space to set up your tail
gate to just being cramped and
crowded, and in some respects
even being harassed by the local
authorities became very frus
trating for me.”
Chris Cupples. owner and devel
oper of Tailgate Station and
Bulldog Park, said the intent was
to create tailgating areas where
University fans can own a parking
space for football season.
Tailgate Station requires a one
time $16,999 investment plus an
annual S6OO for property taxes and
maintenance charges.
Some of the amenities at
Tailgate Station include a shuttle
to and from the game, an enter
tainment pavilion, bathrooms and
oversized parking spaces. It also
offers the luxury many fans long
for flexibility.
“You own the spot, so you can
arrive at any time you want,”
Cupples said.
Fans can arrive at any time they
want —as long as it’s on game day.
Though fans own the parking
space, they can only park at
Tailgate Station during football
game days.
Cupples said the economy has
affected his business, but more

Wilson would not reveal details
regarding internal investigation,
saying only “the chapter is in the

investigation concludes.
“It’s a process that will take

Students sometimes try to swap IDs before football games in order to give their student tickets away. The
move from paper tickets is supposed to curb scalping, but some aren’t satisfied with the solution.

The rally, organized by the

as a way to point out problems pub

Fugate said just because the
national charter is investigating
the fraternity, that doesn't neces

of conduct had been breached.
“It’s certainly their preroga

misconduct did occur, “I would
