We must do both! - Gi Gi Sat, 20 Nov 2010 09:43:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7319-forces-gathering-for-ul-oaks#comment-12615 Life is Precious. Let the Live Oaks live. Alternatives are many to spare the live oak trees from becoming concrete, brick and mortar. Tear up roads to create a building pad but don't tear up the priceless live oaks. Build above them, build around them, build a tree house in them. Buy houses bordering campus, demolish them, rezone and put a building there. Identify other treeless, open-space university properties and build on that land. Acquire ane remodel the OLOL campus and remodel it into administrative offices. KEEP THINKING BEFORE CHOPPING. - Jeanne Claire Sat, 20 Nov 2010 08:37:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7319-forces-gathering-for-ul-oaks#comment-12600 Where are all the crying hearts, huh ! they would'nt know a Majestic Grand Oak fron a Chicken tree. The area natives babble, groan, moan, whine, over plastic cups deposited on city streets, and could not have a big rats ass concern, over the university chopping down these magnificient, Oak Trees. Hell lets plant some hideous painted Pelicans in the trees absence, A LA produced by the Elitist Blue Haired Dames. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 19 Nov 2010 15:54:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7319-forces-gathering-for-ul-oaks#comment-12575 First the Farm, now The Oaks. Is this lack of respect from ULL administration systemic? OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!! Those oaks represent GENERATIONS of support for the university. They represent those who have worked for Lafayette to have a credible university. Surely there is adequate brain power at the university to recognize that removing the oaks is not acceptable. Surely the planners, the architects could manage a plan to do what is needed without removing the oaks. Aren't they graduates of that university? Maybe not, so maybe the trees mean nothing to them. I will shout to the highest heavens to save those trees. I am really beginning to resent ULL's arrogance toward this community! - Morrow Fri, 19 Nov 2010 07:30:46 +0100
