Facing the problems of UM-St. Louis


Why is it that UM-St. Louis: ÑLikes to demolish attractive, older buildings (i.e., Mt. Providence)? ÑContinues to partially support a radio station which is not for student use (KWMU)? ÑIs one of the few major St. Louis higher educational institutions without a presence in Downtown or Midtown St. Louis? ÑBuilds a new University Center with so much administrative and retail space? ÑHopes to encourage living on campus yet provides no weekend meal service? ÑWants to discourage driving from place-to-place on campus but has inconvenient shuttle service? These are just a few questions that still trouble me. I admit every institution has problems. Overall, I like UMSLÑbut it certainly is not a perfect institution.
