Ah, the Lariat


Last Spring, when the IVC Academic Senate signed off on demolishing IVC's beloved Clock Tower (Senator Chunk dissented, but to no avail), it was with the understanding that the Tower would be replaced. A new tower would be erected, we were told, near the "turnaround" between A100 and B100.


But, today, the Lariat reports as follows:
For now, there are no official plans for the tower's replacement.

"We have a few general ideas but nothing concrete to report at this point," [Director of Facilities and Maintenance Wayne] Ward said.
Oh?

Typical IVC SNAFUery. Just once, could the left hand please talk with the right hand?

Or was the guff about replacing the Tower just a lie?

But if we added a new clock tower then money would be spent, I mean wasted, then custodians would have to be laid off in order to pay the bill, we have way too many anyways...
