bloom & dave klucsik last of a three-part series last summer the university almost entered into a lease arrangement of south side townhouses but political pressure exerted by top bethlehem city officials prevented the deal from taking place lehigh was anxious to lease the 36 birkel estate townhouses for many reasons for one thing after renovations 216 students could be accommodated m the houses according to eric ottervik vice president for planning 200 more beds are needed to meet the campus present and future housing demand in addition the proposed lease arrangement afforded the university the luxury of providing adequate un dergraduate housing for at least the next 10 years without making a permanent commitment because of uncertainties concerning future enrollment the university is shying away from building or purchasing a structure for undergraduate housing because it would not own but lease the properties under the deal the university would be able to provide housing to students on the south side without ex panding beyond the boundary lines established m the university master plan while university officials claim that the plan is not legally binding lehigh ex pansion outside the plan without prior permission from the city would un doubtedly lead to an onslaught of severe criticism leveled at the university by south side community leaders as well as city officials many south side community leaders and residents are still bitter when they recall lehigh expansion north of packer avenue m the early 19605 one south side community leader still refers to this university expansion as the rape of the south side through the proposed lease arrangement lehigh could provide ball cites u.s.'s limitless future in opening blaustein lectures by sally velthaus
