Well, thats what it looks like, anyway. We have some beautiful buildings here on campus, and at present there are more in the making. Which is the subject of this editorial. In any big city, construction of buildings and other ediffeces must take place within an enclosure which surrounds the project, such as a fence or a wall. The purpose is to protect pedestrians from hazards relative to the construction, and to protect the premises from vandalism and burglary. However, at the site of the future Student Union Building, such precautions have not been taken. Tools, junk, refuse, and other debris are strewn for hundreds of yards in every direction. Trucks, tractors, cranes, and other such vehicles continually moving about present the most serious problem. There is also the problem of dry dust which is kicked up by every creature that is forced to walk through the area. These problems are very real. But we present some solutions which we feel to be very real and not out of the grasp of the people responsible for the situation. We suggest that water be sprayed periodically to keep the dust down. We also suggest that the vehicles belonging to the construction personnel be kept down in the parking lot, like everyone elses. We suggest that a fence or barrier be constructed around the project. We suggest that lighting be put up for those who must walk the area at night. The present situation reminds one of an old World War II movie that depicts Richard Widmarks tedious journey through a Japanese mine field... We have suggested several solutions to this problem, but we must demand that something be done, and soon. We urge those responsible to remedy the situation at once. Set up some guidelines for safety and clean up the place. Make Dixie College look like what it was meant to be; a college, not a railroad yard. letters The Rustic and The Commonis by Lorin Farr Wonce see there wuz this Country Feller witch lived out in the Stiks lissen he didnt have no Soshul Sekurity not even on Lisense.
