La oierra concert series i i T T » » both University campuses The unique three- part harmony
of the Kingston Trio will open
the Loma Linda University / La
Sierra campus conceit series for
1989 on October 15.
The original Kingston Trio was
formed in 1957 by Bob Shane,
Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard
while the three were attending
college in the San Francisco area.
Using only acoustic guitars and
banjoes, the group sang simple
but memorable songs, which re
minded America of its rich folk-music
heritage.
More than three decades after
" Tom Dooley" helped change
the sound of American popular
music, the original Kingston Trio
sound is back with Bob Shane,
Nick Reynolds, and George
Grove.

Consultants study
use of University
land holdings
A land planning committep
was established at the May 1987
Loma Linda University Board of
Trustees meeting to study
development of the La Sierra prop
erties ( 518 acres). At the January
1988 board meeting the commit
tee's scope of work was expand
ed to include properties owned by
the University in Loma Linda
( 108 acres); Beaumont ( 440
acres); and Banning ( 600 acres).
The trustees also reported that
Gruen Associates, planning and
architecture firm headquartered
in Los Angeles have been selected
as consultants to the University
in planning for these four
properties.
In February 1988, the consul
tant team began its evaluation of
the development and income
generation potential of the four
University property holdings. An
immediate objective of the
evaluation was to determine
whether it would be feasible to
rely upon income generated by
development of these properties
to finance the relocation of the
La Sierra campus to the Loma
Linda campus and in what time
frame that relocation could be
accomplished.
This objective was expanded to
address the long- term income
stream that could be generated to
provide an ongoing source of
funding for the University.
At the August 1988 Board of
Trustees meeting, the consultant
team presented phase one of their
work that has been completed.
These points included:
1. An evaluation of the physi
cal, planning and economic
characteristics of all four sites,
conducted in enough detail to
identify potential land uses and
development requirements and
time frames for each site.
2. The identification of actions
which could be taken by the
University prior to sale or lease /
development of the properties to
enhance their development
potential.
3. A series of land use alter
natives for the La Sierra property.
4. A financial model of the in
come streatm that could be
generated over the years 1991 to
2016 by managing the disposition
and development of the four prop
erties, as well as the expen-
