SIU, she ain't what she used to be

Dear Editor:

I am writing in response to "Wanna A New Image for SIU, start with a Campus Makeover." A campus makeover is exactly what this school needs. If they are so worried about enrollment, then why don't they make the school appealing? Clean up this dump and make it a fun place to be again. Bring back some of the tradition in Carbondale instead of taking everything away. Anything that students looked forward to during the year is almost gone, along with the uniqueness of the school. If students wanted to live in some boring town we would have gone to Edwardsville. At least there the campus looks decent, and they build new buildings to replace the old. It seems like every time the students like something, the school turns around and tries to take it away. Open the Strip, bring back the crawl and maybe even spend some money on a decent place for our sports teams to play. Instead of spending more money on consulting firms to fix the image problem, how about spending money on mulch, trees, a rake, a bulldozer and some paint.
