Carl Sgrccci, vice president and lrea~ur er of lhc College, said that for 25 to 30 years the College had wanled to purcha,e the land. "We arc very excited ahoul purcha!-.mg i1," said Nancy Pringle. vice president and College attorney. "We don'I want to end up with a strip mall near the College."

This meeting was the first of the 1997-1998 school year. It was President Peggy Williams' first board meeting during her tenure at Ithaca College as well. Like most meetings, the trustees arrived, did their eating and meeting and left-just as secretly as they came. The only information released before the SGA meeting was that the trustees discussed several ongoing projects, including the groundbreaking ceremony for the new health sciences build ing. Supposedly, so little occurred at this month's meetings that no press releases would be issued. At the SGA meeting, Bill Roberts, student trustee, reported that the board dined at Williams' home and purchased 82 acres of property behind Boothroyd hall. There was no additional infor mation. But, Roberts said, "With this board we are going to see much more participation than in years past." l!ii(i;fl When are we going to witness this participation? It is understandable that the board had a light schedule this month.
