Jane Forton, Sigma Kappa housing corporation president, said between $10,000 and $20,000 had already been sent to meet fire code requirements.
She said as far as she knew the house was in compliance with everything McSwain had required.
"He's gone too far," Forton said. She also said there had been problems getting information sent to the housing corporation.

"He sends notices to the wrong places," Forton said. "We are not pleased."
Epstein said some of the things that had been completed included installing hard-wired smoke detectors, spring-hinged doors made of solid wood, and electromagnetic fire doors.
"It took us so long, and finally it is complete." he said.
"Everything meets standard specifications," he said. "As soon as he (McSwain) gives us a job, we'll do it."

"We're waiting for them to call us." Gall said.
He said his house had set an appointment with the fire department to inspect the newly-installed doors, but no one from the department had come to the house.
Joe Galli, Phi Kappa Theta president, said he was aware of a deadline at his house last week to install automatic closure doors and that they had complied with the requirement.
Jeff Hallier, Tau Kappa Epsilon vice president, said the fire marshal had not contacted his house about violations.
"I don't care to comment on this," he said.
"If they are pressing charges, we don't know about it.

Along with dedication and memorization, medical school means competence.
Burns said students motivated each other and if another student studied longer than he did, he usually felt guilty.

KU research, professor's work pump up oil-recovery industry
By Travis Butler Kansan staff writer
With the help of research done by KU's Tertiary Oil Recovery Project and a polymer gel developed by a KU researcher, oil companies could recover another 10 percent of available oil from their wells, said an engineer at the project.
Oil is normally found in porous rock, said Lanny Schoeling, a liaison engineer at the project. Primary oil recovery, the first method for getting oil out of the ground, uses natural gas pressure in the rock to force the oil up.
"It's like a Coke bottle," he said.
"The pressure from natural gas expanding pushes the oil out of the well. That's how you get gushers when you first drill a well."
however, that pressure does not last forever, Schooling said. Using only the gas pressure, drillers can increase 60 percent of the oil in the reservoir.
But this approach has problems.
The water flows into the pores in the rock, displacing oil and increasing pressures in the rock, he said. This forces more oil out. The secondary process can remove about another 40 percent of the reservoir's
Secondary oil recovery uses water to restore the pressure, he said.
"They drill secondary wells near the producing wells," Scholering said. "Then they pump water down those wells."
Schoeling said.
The Tertiary Oil Recovery Project has done some tests using these techniques. he said.
Tertiary oil recovery is an attempt to solve this problem, by either altering the liquid injected into the rock or changing the density of the rock itself. Schoelling said.
"The problem is, cracks can develop between the production well and the injection well," he said. "The water goes straight to the production well. It doesn't get good displacement."
This is where Clarence Buller, professor of microbiology, comes in. He works with molecular compounds called polymers. In tertiary oil recovery, polymers are used to change the consistency of the liquid, Buller said.
Polymers will find the high-permeable zones in the rock and plug them, Buller said.
"They have to hope they come together," Buller said.
The problem is that none of the polymers recently used in tests work very well, he said. They have to be injected as two liquids that will jell when they come together underground.
Buller has developed a polymer gel that can be injected into the injection well to seal the cracks. His polymer, in solution, will flow like water, he said. It can be injected through the same well the water is.
When it has infiltrated the rock, the operators can bubble carbon dioxide
gas through the same pipe, Buller said. When the gas reaches the polymer, the two react to form a gel that will plug the crack. Thus, it is more convenient than current polymers.
Current polymers are also nonreversible, he said. If they come together in the wrong place, they can block up the oil.
"There's always a chance that you can figure wrong and put in too much," Buller said. "It'll lock up everything."
With Buller's polymer, that isn't a problem. Sodium hydroxide will dissolve the gelled polymer and allow the operators to start over.
The polymer is also biodegradable, so there is little safety hazard, he said.
"It's a polymer you can eat," he said.
"The cost to produce one barrel of oil with this process in this test case was about 40 cents, when you divide the cost of the treatment by the number of barrels produced," he said.
Tertiary oil recovery can be very profitable, Schoeling said, citing a test project.
The oil then sells for between $10 and $17 a barrel, Schooling said. The profit margin from tertiary oil production is high because the overhead costs of drilling and hardware are absorbed during the primary and secondary stages.
