Having been much aggrieved
by the earlier paving over of
the McIntire Amphitheater for
parking spaces, I must
nonetheless confess to a sense
of bitter amusement at the air
of self-righteousness which
surrounds the current efforts
to have it regrassed.
Permit me an irreverent
question: from the esthetic
point of view (as well as the
conservational and certain
others), what is to choose
between the macadam at the
bottom and the rutted paths
and mudwash along the sides
and top?
No area has been spared the
latter, and it may not be unfair
to suggest that a petition for
restoring the grass of the
Amphitheater might be
received with greater
enthusiasm if there were better
evidence of good faith on the
part of the student body with
respect to preserving the
beauty of the Grounds and the
Lawn.
