They are doing what????!!!!???
The rose garden and various other sites at UBC are great tourist attractions during the
summer.  I know I've had to give directions to some poor tourist more than once while
leaving various buses during the summer.  Where in the world did they get this idea?

This dwould be a great idea not only do we save the rose garden and other senic spots on
campus but get a nice building and probably better parking in the exchange.  They won't
do it though because they will feel that it is too EXPENSIVE and than no one will miss
the rose garden anyway.

Well you have my vote on this.  But how about a little tourture first :-)
