hears a 'hooray' Burnett was one of 300 well-wishers who packed the John Sprunt Grand Ballroom at The Carolina Inn Thursday night to pay tribute to Cal Horton under crystal chandeliers and an air of respect. Developer Roger Perry presented a $100,000 check in Horton's honor to establish the annual Cal Horton Municipal Service Award, which will recognize a town employee dedicated to "the highest ideals of public service."...

fiesta for the hometown crowd El Centro Latino is holding Fiesta de la Familia from 2 to 7 p.m. today at the Carrboro Town Commons. The center held a festival last year to celebrate its fifth birthday, but organizers decided to make it a permanent, annual celebration this year, said Ben Balderas, the center's executive director. "It's where people can just enjoy the Latino culture," Balderas said. "We wanted to continue building on what we had last year."... SUNY
STEPS UP TO SMOOTH NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIONS The letter, signed by SUNY Oswego vice-president Joseph Grant and student association president Daniel Tascarella, reminds students that they represent the college when they are out and about in Oswego. “As a member of the Oswego community you have a responsibility to be a positive influence. Oswego will embrace you with open arms if you respect others who live in the community,” it says... Foot
traffic steers county planning Go for it, suggested a group of consultants to Augusta County's supervisors, comprehensive plan steering committee members and planning commissioners. Work sessions are famous for filling flip charts with multi-colored marker brain storms. But the writing was on the wall at the government center: Augusta County might again hew to its heritage of pedestrian-friendly villages. "It can boil down to the question, how shall we live?" said Milt Herd, part of the Renaissance Group team that led the three-hour seminar. "It sounds like you're really interested in a neighborhood model that's a logical extension of old crossroad farm communities — something that updates the village form."... Four
years in a hotel? Suite If it sounds like a glamorous undergraduate experience -- drinks available all night in the lobby bar, wild room parties away from the eyes of prying administrators or student officers, sex in the stairwells -- think again. Talk to students who have opted for hotel residence for multiple years and it becomes clear that the reality is a lot more, um, uneventful. "Boring," in fact, is the word that Scott Yellan, the Primrose's property director, uses to describe life on the six designated student floors at the 23-storey downtown hotel... Developers
majoring in university housing The trend is taking place both in cities like Chicago and in traditional college towns, such as Bloomington and Urbana. A big driver is the idea that private developers know more about how to cater to young people today and can provide housing more cost-effectively than many colleges and universities. There is also a widespread feeling that dorms are cramped and lack privacy, so many students can't wait to move out... R.D.
Olson Development Sells University Village Towers Education Realty Trust, Inc., based in Memphis, Tenn., acquired the 218,000-square-foot complex at 3500 Iowa Avenue. Owners and developers Robert Olson, CEO/president of Irvine-based R.D. Olson Development and Mark Carter, president of Walnut Creek-based Sequoia Equities negotiated the transaction with Craig Cardwell, executive vice president of Educational Realty Trust. The broker was Herb Chase, managing director of Los Angeles-based Transwestern Multi Housing Capital Advisors. Olson originally purchased the property near the university in November 2004 and R.D. Olson Construction, also owned by Robert Olson, completed building the project in summer of 2005. Olson's development of University Village Towers presented a win-win situation for university students and the city's redevelopment agency, which was then improving the area with a new movie theater, restaurants and retail establishments. At the time, Olson's foresight into the next generation of student housing helped launch what became a trend -- upscale student accommodations that are significantly more luxurious, amenity packed and high-tech than the typical dorm. The trend, now in full swing, is spreading quickly throughout the country, as other developers have been quick to recognize this as a new revenue stream... It’s
a dorm burst of students in SLO An estimated 500 to 800 freshmen and 800 first-time transfer students had to look off-campus for housing, only a slightly higher unfilled need than in recent years.

They pay moving crews to pack and transport their stuff — plasma TVs and other high-end electronics included. And they're living large in housing that looks like anything but a dorm. "You know it's good when your parents walk in the room and say, 'Can I live here?'

OK new UA dorms The two dorms, dubbed Ridgecrest Residential Community, will be built above Lake Palmer on the north end of campus and will hold about 631 beds. UA trustees Thursday gave administrators the green light to begin negotiations with Almon Associates of Tuscaloosa to design the $4.1 million community. When finished, Ridgecrest will join Riverside, which opened in 2005, and Lakeside, opened this fall in a series of identical dorms that have reshaped the campus... Volunteers

a time and place to drop those F-bombs Though Morgantown's atmosphere is that of a typical college town, we as students tend to forget that not everyone in town is a student. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cursing; and, like most, I can't really explain why I do. But I have my limits. When students are drinking at bars or in their houses watching the Mountaineers play, it is inevitable that cursing will be involved - heck, it's expected. But there is no need to drop F-bombs in the middle of WalMart when people can't find the fabric section. I do believe in expressing yourself, but cursing a few feet away from kids and adults is just disrespectful and irresponsible... East
Lansing doesn't acknowledge students For those who didn't read this article, the proposed policy would place more emphasis on the development of housing in the East Lansing area — more specifically downtown — for permanent residents, thus leaving the "minor concern" of student housing on the back burner. Since my enrollment here at MSU in the fall of 2004, city officials have been constantly battling with the students to make East Lansing a more family/alumni-friendly place. (Tailgate: R.I.P.) Don't get me wrong — I understand the importance of these social groups to the functioning of our city and the university; however, East Lansing is first, and foremost, a college town. While some may call this proposal a means of bringing more diverse people into the city, I call it a slap in the face... Students

Plan embraces unique architecture We are also currently working on plans to integrate first-floor commercial and retail, like we have at University Square, in many new building developments providing not only students, but the citizens of Madison with lively and safe areas to enjoy around campus. Unfortunately, Mr. Hennick did not spend enough time doing his historical research and didn’t take the time to ask questions about the master plan with those who worked hard at providing guidance and direction for our ever changing landscape. Had he done so, his eyes would have been opened to the stewardship of green space and historic character in the plan while continuing to be one of the leaders of higher education, teaching and research in the community and across the nation...

The group's business, LiveinIowaCity.com, is an online service that advertises apartment and housing vacancies and links roommates. The year-old service has about 180 registered users who post pictures and detailed information about places to rent or who are looking to sublease or take on roommates. The site generates about 2,000 hits a day, Hubbard said... Student
district possible in ACC James Garland, a candidate for ACC Commission District 1, wants to create a district that would join all dormitories and Greek houses — a move that would increase the chances for a student to be elected to the commission.

One firm riding this wave is American Campus Communities (nyse: ACC - news - people ), which builds, owns and operates student housing. In 2005 it had profits of $10 million off sales of $88 million. Client schools include the University of Colorado, Texas A&M and the University of Houston... New
residence halls may be on the horizon New residence halls have always been part of the Plan for Academic Enrichment, but University officials trying to keep students from moving off campus have recently ramped up this effort... The main reason for the new discussions is a desire among University officials to increase the number of students living on campus. About 80 percent of students currently choose to live on campus, according to Richard Bova, senior associate dean of residential life. This number places Brown "in the middle of the Ivies" regarding its on campus-off campus ratio, Bova said. Spies said administrators hope new dorms will "get back to what we thought of as a good arrangement … where essentially all juniors live on campus" along with "a larger fraction of seniors." "We view being a residential college as extremely important," Carey said... Suffolk

Cruz OKs $100,000 to fight UCSC growth The money will be spent on three separate legal challenges to adding 4,500 students and 2,000 faculty on campus in the next 15 years. "Our sense is that if we don't do something serious, the cost to the community will be a great deal more than $100,000 by the time the university is finished growing," Councilman Mike Rotkin said. "It's a lot of money, but the consequences of not stepping up are severe.".. UVM
community relations office to move near noisy neighborhoods "Colchester for us is just down the street from where most of the
neighborhoods are and we felt it was within walking distance from a good
portion of the population," Shampnois said. "We want it to become
a storefront close by where neighbors and students can drop in and we
can work on a creation of community in a deeper way.".. That leaves about 13,000 students to compete for 1,500 residential units on campus, plus the suites and apartments of the surrounding neighbourhoods... If the city shut down all the illegal suites, there'd be even less student housing, Hnatyshyn said. "Campus has grown and the housing requirement hasn't. It's a chicken and the egg type thing. If we don't have them, students have no place to live and if you do have them, then there are safety issues." Patti Hoffi nger, Saskatoon's fi re marshal, says it's diffi cult to determine the number of illegal suites, which are defined as suites that do not meet minimum building standards or fi re safety regulations...

THE SCENE: Thing-One Plan
to House Less Students and More Homeowners It's no secret that's been a goal of the city for some time. Earlier this year, they adopted a policy to make housing developments for permanent residents a priority. City council wanted to make sure they're doing enough to change what the downtown looks like. Council members say too much of the housing is targeted toward student rentals, and it's time to diversify. Officials say what they need is more young professionals and families in the area to help support downtown businesses... Neighbors
wary of the Greeks living next door A few sororities have taken up residence on Charlotte Avenue, to the dismay of neighbors who want quiet on their block -- not parked cars lining the streets and bedsheet banners hung out front. Homeowners in the Winthrop Farm neighborhood, which includes parts of Charlotte Avenue, Eden Terrace, Evergreen Lane, Myrtle Drive and Milton Avenue, have dealt with this situation before. So have neighbors on Park and Ebenezer avenues, where other Greek houses are located. Unlike at other schools where Greek houses are confined to their own corner of campus, Winthrop's chapters are dispersed on residential streets, often next door to families and elderly people...

Some of our students are Democrats, some are Republicans, some are independents, but all of them are in an environment where they are encouraged to take their civic responsibility seriously and think critically about important issues. It takes a whole town to raise a voter, and we hope you will help us in any way that you can. There is nothing more important to all of us than to help our young people get off to a good start...

Well With Others UC Santa Cruz's original Long Range Development Plan envisioned the campus population growing to 25,000 students by 2020. A revised development plan issued last Wednesday cut that number by 1,500 students... UC Berkeley demands a very different evaluation. While our Long Range Development Plan was settled last year, the university is situated in the heart of the city. And lets face it, in Berkeley, the city needs the university's cultural and economic contributions-badly. However, just because UC Berkeley can walk all over the city doesn't mean it should. Town-gown relations in Berkeley have certainly improved in the past year and a half, and look to be getting better. But the situation in Santa Cruz has the makings of a truly ideal relationship... NYU
loses new dorm to SVA SVA’s proposed residence hall — a six-story building housing about 100 students — has met little resistance, in contrast to the acerbic response from community members and the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation when NYU was interested in buying the property at Third Avenue and 10th Street. Though community members are suing NYU over its planned 26-story residence hall at the site of the historic St. Ann’s Church on East 12th Street, SVA’s May announcement that it planned to build a dorm has been praised by the same groups...

Police had to break up a gathering of about 1,500 students at 50 Meadow St. late Friday night.

It was around five per cent last year and, the last time I checked, it was running at about 1.5 per cent. There isn’t a lot of new construction or a lot of units coming. In addition, there have been a lot of old apartments that have been converted into condos. Although those condos are being turned around and being rented out again, they’re being rented out at much higher prices,” Dumouchel said... Parties

retirement-community plans fit with national trend Fact is, however, retirement villages have been popping up near colleges across the country for the past 20 years; at this point, you could call it a full-blown national trend. The two parties typically develop a kind of symbiotic relationship that benefits both, and takes a variety of forms.
