Yet the men’s basketball team has languished for decades, falling well short of that standard. Meanwhile, the baseball and football teams grab Ivy League titles by the fistful, the school has nationally ranked squads in hockey, soccer, tennis...

But, some observers ask, might it be possible - and more cost-efficient - to convert the two lecture halls into a collection of smaller classrooms? And why spend so much money tearing down a building that is still structurally sound? Leicht, the NIU senior, says he sensed little university effort to solicit an array of student opinions about Cole Hall's fate. Instead of tearing it down, he suggests the school not only convert...
