LETTER: Promise to move Wiess should be honored


by Tre Fischer

To the editor:

Recently, my wife, who is unfortunately an alumna of Wiess College, received a letter and survey from several Wiess seniors concerned with the university's proposal to raze the current structure of Wiess and relocate the college to a site near Jones and Brown.

So that all our interests are represented, I write on behalf of, I believe, all Hanszenites, past and present, to state our vehement and unbending support for any plan that involves the destruction and relocation of Wiess College.

Though the current proposal falls short by maintaining Wiess on campus, it is an acceptable second-best alternative to movement of the college to a site along Buffalo Bayou.
