Mr Hansen,

You write,
"I agree with the spirit of your comment, Mr. Arnold, however New Saint 
Andrews College is NOT accredited.  It is a candidate for accreditation with 
the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools 
(www.tracs.org), and has been since November 2002, as reflected within the 
NSA website at:"

That was it! Thanks for reminding me. I could not remember the name of that 
association.

But you continue with this false statement,

"They (NSA) want to maintain their tax-exempt status as a school.  Yet they 
wish to remain on Main Street, feeling that they do not violate land use 
code, as they consider themselves to be a commercial entity."

No, that is not what the law says. The Moscow Chamber of Commerce, Goodwill, 
the Center for Disabilities and Human Development, and the Disabilities 
Action Center are all both Commercial and non-profit and downtown. They are 
all commercial according to the city code definition as well, in that they 
sell a product or service or rent something. A school, or institute of 
learning, like an elementary, junior high, or secondary school, can also be 
downtown. Only Accredited or State Board Approved Colleges and Universities 
cannot be. That only means UI.

BTW, you must of been out of town hey?

Take care,

Donovan J Arnold
