Meeting About Tree Cutting Controversy

A meeting was held in Dean Gillespie's office with representatives of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Professors Priscilla and Kenneth Laws, interested students, the college lawyer Boyd Landis, and members of the construction company that was attempting to remove trees on College Street.  The company and PennDOT provided the reasoning for their tree-cutting campaign and the history of its approval.  The College and Student Senate, concerned about increased traffic on the road, determined to look into installing a traffic light at the intersection of North College Street and Louther Street.  Students who had been protesting the tree cutting left the meeting unsatisfied and met as a group later that night.
