Adam Crouch, Associated Students of Washington State University president, and I, ASWSU vice president, appreciate Scotty Anderson's interest in visioning the future of the Greek Row area on College Hill (His View, June 6 and June 20). With proper design standards in place, some older buildings could be replaced with newer ones that better serve student interests. However, many older buildings and residences are valued and enjoyed by students for unique character that is not found in newer apartment buildings. In particular, we believe that the B Street Culture and Heritage Houses should not be lost to developmental pressures without more input from students and alumni.
As representatives of WSU's undergraduate student body, we feel expressing the wants and needs of our students are of the upmost importance. If and when a re-visioning of College Hill occurs, we trust that the student perspective will be sought.
