Our Little Uni Just Grew a Bit

The big news this past week is that Webster is growing. Webster University acquired five acres from Eden Seminary, as well as the Wherli Center, The Luhr Library, and the “White House”. Obama was not available for comment.


The first thing that comes to mind is more parking. When I realized this I began to dance around my apartment with an unthwarted glee. But looking at its location, it’s not really gonna help that problem. The only way that could happen is if we acquired Narix. Which I’m all for, cause I almost hit a schoolgirl every day (I know, I should gas it, they’re worth 50 points, but still…).


But then, I read this: “The University will also lease Eden's athletic fields for recreation and intramural sports for seven years”. I really hope they sink some money into the fields, because sports are a great way to bring a school together. But having to drive to other fields for soccer and freakin Illinois for baseball really hurts the team. If we played just a walk across Lockwood, it could really improve the student attendance at the games. 


Plus, I already made this…

Yay pipe dreams…
