Many people complain about
their lives being messed up by the
campus construction problems, but
one silent group may lose their
lives.
This group consists of the old oak
trees beside the main drill field.
There are about 52 to 55 of them.
They were planted for living
memorials to Aggies who died in
World War I.
Not many years ago, freshman
Corps members were given the
‘privilege’ of remembering the
names on these trees and the places
where the men had fallen. Almost
everyone else has felt their pres
ence and considers them as much a
part of the University as “Old
Sully”.
In short, there is a definite emo
tional tie between the students and
the trees.
Now some of these trees might
die.
The problem started when the
construction crews, while digging
up the roads for improvements, cut
up roots in their way. These ex
posed roots could become dry and
susceptible to insects and disease.
These trees cannot live if their roots
are eaten away, says David Morgan,
graduate student in horticulture.
A.R. Luedecke, executive vice
president for Physical Plant and
Grounds, says that those in charge
of the construction program took
into consideration the effects it
could have on the trees.
“But,” he says, “the job had to be
done. We have a lot of concern for
these trees and decided to go ahead
and do it the best we could with as
little damage as possible to them. ”
“Efforts are being made to keep
the wounded trees alive. The roots
are being kept moist and care is
being taken to avoid hurting the
roots any further,” said Luedecke.
“We did receive instructions to
be as careful with the trees as possi
ble,” said one crew chief at the con
struction site.
There is a paradox to the whole
