An aerial view of the WSU campus might cause the viewer to take a quick second glance and ask, “Was that a campus back there or an anthill just poked with a stick?” Yes, the problem of overcrowding has struck one of the most unexpected places in the state—the sprawling Palouse; or to be more specific, one particular hill on the Palouse with WSU resting upon it. WSU has been the object of good-humored ridicule in the past. It has been called “Moo U” and the “Cow College” for ages, giving it the reputation of being a tiny, farmsy, down-home college. But the pace of life here is as hectic and quick-moving as any large city, and the problems growth brings are here also.
