Mayne's plea for SCI-Arc on LATIMES

BE

How did it come to this? What will happen to all the renovation dollars and angst that were expended when the school moved?

People in the know, please kindly say something.

Its a political deal, and Mayne is using his LA clout to help out how he can. I am sure it makes a difference for someone not currently inside Sci-Arc to make a plea for its importance. I hope it helps.. I am going to have to live next door to whatever is built there - unless it drives my rent too high to stay here.

So is it true that SCI-Arc will have to move if the developer wins? Or is Mayne calling bluff on this one? I don't know how it came to this because this was not the scenario that was promised when efforts were pooled in those MDR days. The price that was paid to see the school standing where it is now was at least worth it if it continues to stay there!

i guess this uncertainty at SCI-Arc helps those on the fence between SCI-Arc and other schools....sad.

Mayne = Messiah? Or is he just and opportunist looking to embarrass Moss?

i don't think that mayne's a messiah, but anyone who's got the balls to wear shorts and a crappy tshirt to their firm and smoke a j in a restraunt (heresay through friends, but trusted), is a cool fella in my book. if you can be serious about your work, but not too serious about yourself, that's a nice balance.
