The plumbers' union struck and finally set- tled just short of a point where the entire project would have had to shut down. But construction continued. Where trees once dotted a peaceful mea- dow, and where animals romped and lived contentedly, men worked--frantically wor- ked. And cold grey columns of concrete were erected. Huge cranes lifted massive pre- stressed concrete slabs into place on the columns, where the wind once whispered through the tops of trees. Large, ugly gouges appeared in the earth. Pipes and electrical conduits' were laid to rest in the network of coruiecting ditches that were later covered by the frantic men. Winter came with its rain. The meadow- land-lost became a quagmire of sticky, oozy mudg but the men worked on. Heaps of discarded wood and metal were piled higher as the campus grew. it .M f- gl' J A college campus, the harvest of man's hard work began to take form. A college is beneficial to man, to his mind and body, and to his economy and society. The loss of that grassy slope to the structures which are representative of man's constant Search for knowledge is costing more than.anyone realizes.
