Nathan Tuttle: Writing His Own Trinity Story

By Alex Gereda-Gordon

Nathan Tuttle is the Residential Life coordinator most of Trinity students know, but might not know much about.

Yes, he is son of Dean of Student David Tuttle, but that is only a small part of his own Trinity story.

To Jaywalk or Not To Jaywalk? The City Vista Debate

By Sophia Scearce

It’s 9:00 a.m. The mid-morning traffic has hit its peak for the day, as cars whiz down Hildebrand Avenue unassumingly during their morning commute. At 9:15, a flustered student emerges from the City Vista apartment complex, running late for class.

As he approaches the road, he takes one look at the traffic and quickly launches himself off the curb. He dashes across the two-way, four-lane avenue when it is clear for this one second. Once he reaches the green lawns of Trinity’s campus, he hurries off, continuing about his daily routine without a second thought.

Everyday, students living in City Vista, located on the corner of Hildebrand and Devine, must cross the traffic bustling Hildebrand in order to get to classes. This section of Hildebrand is curvy and hilly, making it hard for drivers to see very far down the road. This seemingly short walk across Hildebrand to campus, however, has students taking two different routes: crossing at the newly installed crosswalk right at the intersection of Hildbrand and Devine, or jaywalking across the street further west down Hildebrand.

On the morning of January 18, Taylor Mobley ‘16, a current tenant of City Vista apartments, saw a post from Trinity’s Facebook page about its recent purchase of the complex she calls home.

“I saw the picture and even seeing the picture I said, there has to be another City Vista.They would not do this to me," said Mobley. "So I click on the link, and lo and behold, they bought my apartment complex!"

On that same morning, Trinity University students received an email from President Danny Anderson regarding the acquisition.

Price and privacy were the biggest concerns expressed by students at Wednesday’s town hall meeting about the future use of City Vista, an apartment complex recently purchased by Trinity University.

Student Life and the SGA organized the meeting, which attracted over 30 students to have a conversation with the university’s administration.

Dean of Students David Tuttle said the property will be set up like off-campus living, even though it is technically on campus.
