Bits and Pieces 8

The doors are locked. The lights were off this morning. Amalfitano Bakery did not open today.

Maybe this week.

Now that we know over one-half of a Million Dollars was spent on getting the Marymount ballot measure on the November ballot, can anyone tell me all the differences that Marymount would get that have not already been approved of by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council?

Naturally I know the differences, both big and small and it comes down to dorm.

When you consider that the construction and maintenance of on-campus student housing won't be cheap and over $500.000.00 has already been spent JUST to attempt to get the measure qualified, I hope you can understand that Marymount must have motivation they are not willing to let the public know as to why they are spending all the money at this time and for the election marketing.

Might it now make more sense to you that there could be a company contracted with Marymount to build dorms at no cost to the college and maintain those dorms with company funds?

Is the half of a Million plus the money that is going to be spent by Marymount's supporters and others going to reap even much larger sums of money coming into the college?

The T.V. commercials I have seen lately about Marymount College offers views of students with wording about how active and helpful the students are throughout many communities.

There is what I feel is a careful choice to NOT put anything about The Marymount Plan or The Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project in those recent commercials.

It appears that Marymount's marketing folks are trying to butter up the voters by showing all the good that students to.

But here is the hitch. IF all those scenes showed real Marymount students doing great works and good things for so many, every single one of them DID NOT live in a room of a residential building on the main campus of Marymount College.

None of those students lived in on-campus housing and it appears they didn't suffer or cause many difficulties in offering their good deeds and great service.

If they could do so well without on-campus students housing, is Marymount's marketing staff going to try and say the students could do more and better if there were on-campus student residential rooms?
