Brose tells WMUK's Gordon Evans that Dunn deserves credit for planning to use East Hall as an alumni center. But Brose says the university should hold off on demolishing the other buildings on East campus. He says if Western comes up with a plan for using the existing buildings, they would be more likely to find financial support.
