How do you feel about the wetlands on campus being destroyed to make way for track and field?

It reminds me of the Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi”:
“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.”

-Robbin Anthony

I’ll be attending all the events … the 100 meters while wearing waders. Classic.

-Trent Bates

I think it’s utterly deplorable. We need the wetlands for … um, what were they for again?

-Greg Wilcox

Wetlands, shmetlands, let’s hurry up and destroy them already.

-Diego Ibanez

There are wetlands on campus?

-Heather Jones

All I can say is that it’s about time!

-Andrea Morris

What? They shouldn’t! Those wetlands are beautiful. This is not allowed! Treason! Someone call the county executioner! (I’m kidding.) The wetlands really should stay.

-Robert Jones

I honestly have no feelings on it whatsoever.

-Mel Sundquist

Track and field is obviously popular enough here to have a stadium … right? Viva wetlands.

-Jennie Nicholls

I wish they were building a football field. Other than that, it’s fine.
Murder those wetland animals.

-Dave Iba

Awesome. We need track and field, not wetlands.

-Alek N.
