crusher

greeting me early on friday morning as i made my way to the office at OLCB (old library classroom building) was a mound of old classroom desks being crushed into the back of a university dump truck. it was really a sight to behold. there were about 20 physical plant guys tossing the yellow desks up into the dump truck and then a backhoe was crushing the desks to make room for more and more desks. i had to stand to the side and watch for a few minutes - primarily for my safety - but also to watch pieces of the past being "recycled" and making room for the new and improved. i'm beginning to see that more and more on campus (in more ways than one i'll add) and for the most part it's a good thing. those old desks are a thing of the past. now we're seeing the horseshoe table approach with smart boards and projector systems that allow for the advanced technologies to aid in delivery of course material. i guess with time all things must change.
