To my knowledge. no local. ,1t1tc or Judith Sylte nmional historic pn:,crvution c,pen, Guest Opinion pl.1ycd a role in planning. Even the 11d,•i,ory commincc mndc up of NIC faculty and community historian< seem, to have been windowdrcssing. We were di~bandcd very curly m the proce<,. when initial cost ~timotcs exceeded avnilable funding and the project wa, put on hold. Loter, when thc dcci,ion wu, mode 10 mo,c ahead again, we were never informed or reconvened. In fact. mo,t of U\ were thunderstruck when we were told the plan< wen: fimshcd nnd cons1ruc1ion would ,tan within a month. Whether this lack of input wu., intcn1iunal ur ,imply an ovcrsl&ht, It shouldn' t have happened.

My 2 cents' wonh i, 1h01such closed-door decis1on-making b nhvoys unhealthy.

Out that's no11he whole story.

On the bright side, NIC deserves mountain< of credit for its commitment to Sllving the building at all. Over the year... the other ron buildings have been ra,.ed one by one. When McCormack House, the last home row to go. was demolished 10 make room for the parking 101 between the Officers' quancrs and the library. many in the community reared the Quaners might not he for behind. Arter all, on a campus with a mushrooming student body, perennial cumplaints about parking. and linle room to grow. bulldo1.mg it would hnve been the easy thing to do. But NIC did 1he right thing. not the easy thing.

Wha1·s more. once the college mndc the com1111tmcn1 to save the Officers' Quaner.;, it did a fir..t-rate job. Two years ago the building was so unsafe the upstairs was off-limits nnd the back wing was falling off. Today it's ,1ruc1urally solid and should be here another hundred years down the rorul. Equally important, NIC rccogni1-Cd 1h01 decade.\ of cheap remodels. when the building w11., nn apanment hou<.e nnd then had a vnriety of campus u:,c.,. hnd Cllf''(d it up every which way and 1rru.hcd its hi<toric charac1cr. Now the mbbit warren hallways, modem ;u;,pcndcd ceilings and tcictured ~heetrock are gone (good riddnncc!) and ancc :ignin the beautiful ,;oop,tone fireplace, nitrnctive ,tnuway. broad front porch and other detaib arc revealed for u, all to relish. Toes.: thing~ don't happen by are,dent. We all have them 10 enjoy todny and for ye!ll'l, 10 come because many NIC people. from our ronncr president to the maintenance crew. cared enough 10 l.iv,sh TLC on the grJntl. old lady. The li,1 of campu; people who de.~rse pnt, on the back 1s too long 10 publish. And even more historic touche,. from antique. furnishing:; to hi~toric photos. arc still bcmg added 10 the mtenor bll by bit.

In shon. let'H'l:lcbratc what we hnve. Fon Shem,nn Officc11,' Quancrs is a treasure for the campus nnd the community. I hapc everyone will stop by 10 taken look. and keep coming back.

"La Boheme' is set in Pari~ in the 1890~,'' said Snyder, "and ' Rent' 1s ~et in New York City in t he 1990s Thc.!.c arc storic~ nbou r ,tarving arti~rs and what they endure 10 ge t that one song-or story out."

They are abo about love and sacrifice).

"These nrti~ts. arc literally \larv1ng." ~aid Snyder. "They are extremely poor and they're burning their novel\ and compositions to keep warm. Their :in mas1crpieces are being ,hreddcd 10 keep a name going."

Jonathon Lar~on. composer of "Rent," never (aw the Broadway productiC1n of it. As Snyder wiped the tears from his eye\, he talked of the price Lar,on paid.

"II really 1~ ~ad," Snyder ~aid.

"Jona1hon ,hould never have died. He wcm to the ho,pital twicc. and they ~em him home. He died the 111gh1 before ·Rent' opened. His death wa, preventable. H e wns a fabulous composcr--hc would have gone on forever"

Snyder sa id that " Rent " is a different type of production. 11~ plot run~ parallel 10 "Lo Boheme" wi1h 1hc Mory line, but the presentation 1s much more inten~e. " Here you have the classic story." said Snyder "II really encap~ulntcs th e ene rgy th at an artist h.i.!. to devote to creating that one compos111on.

Three of these productions dea l directly with Pari~ in some capacity, and the fourth. "Rent" originated from a Pari\ setting in "La Boheme."

Snyder said th at he wonted 10 present something exciting and fre sh to the people of the communi1y. " I hope thal it leaves people stunned," Snyder ~aid, "and ~end~ them out in10 the 1111crmiss1on tall..ing."
