University of Virginia Library

Poorly Attended

As it turned out, the rally
was poorly attended. The
petition, however, continued
to amass signatures.

It has been estimated that
the reseeding of the
amphitheater will cost $600.

One of the reasons that the
University had opposed
reseeding the amphitheater in
the past was that the area was
tentatively scheduled to be the
site for a new social science
building complete with an
underground multi-story
parking garage.

Another objection was that
noise from heavy air travel over
the amphitheater would make
meeting there impossible.
