River Campus issue should be put to a vote

To the editor:

It looks like we are going to get the River Campus rammed down our throats whether we like it or not. Shouldn't something as big as this be voted on by the townspeople? Or could it be the supporters are afraid of how the vote would turn out? Why couldn't they just restore that beautiful old seminary and use it for their arts? But would that be too simple for their minds to grasp? Once upon a time this was a town with a university in it. Now it's a university with a town in it. Where does it end? Maybe when we finally get enough and say, "No more."
