Committee to finalize report
on communication problems
By Dave Stephens

Campus Editor
After four months of discussion and debate, the
West Lafayette and Purdue Community Issues Advisory Board is almost
ready to present it’s findings to Purdue President Martin Jischke
and West Lafayette Mayor Sonya Margerum.
The committee will meet at 4 p.m. Monday at the
Morton Community Center Room 108 to finalize its report.
"The best part of this entire process has
been for the establishment of communication between Purdue and West
Lafayette," said Jan Mills, president of the West Lafayette city
council and the co-chairperson of the Community Issues Advisory Board.
The committee was established in January to study
and identify the problems associated between Purdue and its neighbors
in the surrounding community.
Since that time, the community has held a series
of meetings discussing the future of housing in the area, neighborhood
life and communication between the University and West Lafayette.
John Sautter, co-chairperson of the advisory board
and Purdue's vice president for housing and food services, said one
of the recommendations the committee will make to both Purdue and West
Lafayette is to continue with the issues board in some capacity.
"The feeling that arose from the group is
that there are many conditions that aren’t unique to just one group,
whether they are a student, landlord, resident or business owner,"
said Sautter.
Mills said some of the recommendations the advisory
board will make include making community information available on city
and Purdue Web sites, fostering alliances between student organizations
and neighborhood associations and devising a network in which Purdue
and West Lafayette can share information with each other.
The final report will be available after next week
at the West Lafayette Public Library.
