St. Xavier U. is “Campus Kong”? It has joined the club of universities led by Hungry Administrators Eager to Leave a Legacy of Infinite Expansion? Say it isn’t so, Mother McAuley (foundress of the Mercies, with girls’ school named after her next door).
Yes, it’s true, unless you think 400 Far (far) South Siders (Mt. Greenwood neighborhood) can be wrong. They have signed Dolores Madlener’s petition that has already blocked the Making of Three Dormitories adjacent to St. Xav (say “Zav,” rhyming with salve).
Not good enough for The Four Hundred, who want the three houses, bought up by Xav’s in the last three years and rented to families since then, to stay as family, not grad-student, residences.
Daily Southtown has it, Sun-Times ran it too. Meeting 8/10, 6 p.m., fourth floor board room at 3700 W. 103rd St., where Xav’s flak-catchers meet the people and reportedly tell all about the Three Houses.
Madlener tells this blog to pray. Sure, but keep in mind that if you live that far south, you should not be surprised at anything that happens to you. (Speaking with what was at the time an Oak Park, near west suburban, perspective.)
