Heard on the news last week that Midland College dropped its bid for the big library in order to get behind Tech's efforts, in exchange for a literacy center dedicated to Mrs. Bush to be located in Midland, as part of a Tech Pres. Library.
Yeah, and that is producing piss-and-moan response.
(Midland College is not well-liked; its leadership are among the four or five liberals in town, including one that voted for the gay Episcopal bishop, I believe.)
The move is on for a stand-alone. I don't think it will go anywhere.
