"Cords said the decision wasn't the result of pressure from Indian groups."
"The decision - which Cords attributed to unspecified university officials..."
"Unspecified university officials". How courageous.
Welcome to the DiUlio regime....where one man gets all the credit when things are going well, and the university hides behind a veil of secrecy otherwise.
He was wrong on closin' the Ave. Shoulda recommended a 20 ft. gated fense around the campus instead.
It's all Crean's doin'.
I'm blaming Royce Dam and his laborer's rugged hands.
Help me remember.. I was probably too busy mackin chicks at the Wet Spot and learning to buy cars from Trebby.. but, I recall voting between GEs and Lightning... what I don't remember is if there were any open meetings, votes, etc... to get down to those two names. I remember thinking Hilltoppers would be OK with me if Warriors wasn't a possibility, but it wasn't an option.....Wish we could bring back Warriors, Grebe's on Wisconsin and Dahmer.

Respectfully, you are simply in error. The 'SLU solution' would have been a major mistake. Part of the reason that MU has become more of a national draw was the decision to strongly support Avenues West. It's a very cool place to go to school now, in part because of the strength of the neighborhood.And no disrespect to SLU. Their enviroment further from downtown probably dictated their 'fence' solution. But the campus has an island feeling as a result.
I was too much of a young dip**** back then, but if I could rewind probably would have raised a little more hell that year. And would have purchased more Warriors attire.
