I might be remembering this wrong but isn't this wonderful security
fence installation requiring that 100 or so trees get removed? I
think thats what Jeremy said at an SGA meeting....hope I am wrong.

Susan, who didn't know Tech even *had* one hundred tress on campus.

At one point ACOG's involvement on the campus was going to result in the
loss of over 75 trees.  That number has been greatly reduced by the
efforts of Jeremy and other students, as well as, "evil" administrative
types like Bill Ray and Roger Wehrle.  According to the people installing
the fence only eight trees will be removed for that purpose.  All trees
will be replaced on the campus at Tech's discretion and ACOG's expense. 
Other trees will be removed for other reasons but will also be replaced
using guidelines set by Tech at ACOG's expense.

AT least 2 or 3 NICE big trees were put to the ax a few months ago.  This was
on the EAST side of the EE building.  They planted these scrawny little saplings
as replacements.  :(

So the ones by the perimeter aren't the only ones in danger.

It would seem to me, as I work in the EE Building, that those trees were 
removed because their branches were encroaching on the structure to such 
a degree that pruning them on a regular basis was not practical anymore.
