Many of you have probably read some negative editorials in the newspaper about campus expansion planning. There is an important error in what has been mentioned in these letters that you should know about and share with your friends and family. Memorial's proposal to the City Administration neves involved Leeper Park. Our master campus plan boundaries are clear and easily understood by those who take the time to review the public documents. When members of the City Adminstration reviewed our plan, they said they wanted to come up with an alternative plan that involved a land swap with Leeper Park: No one at Memorial designed this or proposed this plan. Mayor Luecke has stated in meetings with the neighbors that the alternate plan was his idea and not Memorial's. This fact has been missed in,the recent newspaper editorials in spite of the fact that the news article about our campus that ran on December 17 did accurately report the difference between Memorial's plan and the City's alternative. We hope that the original plan will be approved by the City and we continue to commit not to move beyond the historical district or the park land.
