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

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.

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.
