Money is the root of all building projects. If there is no cash, there is no building. This is well understood by the members of the Board of Governors and before approving the bid on the new health sciences building they questioned the funding. "If something terrible happens, we'll have to find the money," vice chairwoman Jane Wyman said The building fund comes from the sale of Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA) assets and Missouri Southern is not the only school in the state lining up for funding.
First of all, I'd like to say I got tricked. When Dr. Moorman recruited me for the department of communication, he sealed the deal by mentioning The Chart's annual softball game with KGCS. I really wanted to play ball, and I wanted to write, and T.J. was persuasive, so I ended up working on The Chart.
It is a funny thing about The Chart. It is a beast and it does tend to consume its editors at times. Those of us who toil here and have toiled here sometimes curse the beast. But it is also a family. In a few short weeks, we will have to say goodbye and good luck to a beloved member of that family.
