The Fraternity Loop soon may be making another run.

Undergraduate Student Government senators Lisa Fields and Mike King want to reinstate the Loop -- renamed the "Off Campus Loop" -- to serve students who frequent the fraternity district on weekends.

The Loop was unsuccessfully implemented last spring for a three-week trial period, said King, USG fraternity district senator.

If students do not want the Loop, it will not be started, King said, adding that he and Fields are garnering student and financial support.

One way to ensure financial support is asking student groups --such as sororities and dorm area governments -- to contribute funds, King said. It is too early to decide on a proposed fee, he added.

Fields, USG Pollock Halls senator, said sororities have been asked to contribute, but added that the groups have already closed their budgets and cannot allocate additional money this year.

Becky Friese, Panhellenic Council president, said sororities could only contribute limited miscellaneous funds, but added that the project could succeed.

"Any program that you start with that much feedback and evaluation will be a better program," she said. "It's more thought out this time."

Amy Dombach, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, 108 S. Cooper, said although her sorority supports the idea for the Off Campus Loop, members are wary of giving money to a project that was not used much in the past.

"Our dues are high enough," she said.

Dombach said the members are confused about whether sororities would need to pay twice -- once to set up the service and again to use it.

"We were unclear about what was going on," she said.

Joe Jorczak, Interfraternity Council president, said IFC has not been asked to contribute.

If the Loop does get enough support to run, patrons will find a new and improved service, King said.

Changes would include more Loop stops, student bus passes, clearly marked vans with lighted interiors and increased publicity.

Fields said students will know by the end of the semester if the Loop will run from midnight to 3 Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Rob Kampia, USG president, said he will support the project as long as it doesn't lose money.

"We don't need another money-losing project," Kampia said.
