Chancellor Arnold B. Grobman told faculty members last Thursday that he would consider purchasing the 18- acre campus primarily for its dormitory space. Grobman said he could make no estimate of how much the property might cost. "This is_just very early exploration," Grobman said in an interview Tuesday. "A piece of property adjacent to our campus has-become available, and we'll take a close look at it." Grobman said that students, especially those in the optometry and graduate programs and foreign students, had expressed interest in dormitory living in surveys done here. The Newman campus is located across from UMSL at 7701 S. Florissant Road. The Milwaukee-based DeRance Corp. purchased the land and assisted college officials in establishing the school in 1977. On Jan. 15, a U.S. ban­ kruptcy judge denied motions to keep the financially­ strapped college open. Grobman said that officials here would have an appraisal of the property done, and determine what the Cedric R. Anders on cost might be, Then a proposal would be made to the UM Board of Curators.
