several of the older residence halls can't be torn down because they are registered with the historical society. as for the others, they expect enrollment to rise and with that on campus population numbers as well.
To dogmeat, college is expensive across the board. Not an excuse, but Tech is still cheaper than UT or A&M |

lubbock doesnt really need a drainage system thus why it was never made with one. it doesnt need one more than the total cost of putting in a drainage system through an existing city

houston has fairly adequate drainage for a swamp land. if it dont my parents house would be under 15 feet of water. lubbock is a far cry from being in any way comparable to houston

Alright, since we're ranting about cities I am just going to throw out my rant about Dallas. Houston is amazing compared to this place.
People think that this hell hole is a "big city". It isn't. It's a bunch of little towns tied together by a crappy road system. Each of those little cities controls their portion of the road so when you cross from one city to another the entrance and exit ramps are completely different, the road is paved in something different, and they have different notation for road names. In Houston most people at least know the different names for different freeways (59 north = Eastex Freeway, south = Southwest Freeway, etc.). There is no real north/south road system here. 75, 35, and the Tollroad are pretty much it. The George Bush Turnpike makes an attempt... The dumbass left exit thing is just stupid. Not the exits themselves but the fact that there is no announcement until you are 100 yards from the exit. People hover in the left lane here. That's the fast lane!!! Sitting in the left lane and going slow will get you shot in Houston. And WTF is up with the freeway entrance and exit ramps. If you are on the feeder road (yeah, I said feeder) you have to yield to traffic coming off the freeway. W. T. F. And entering the freeway isn't much better. You pretty much have 100 ft. to get up to speed and decide if there is room for you to get on. stupid. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (lamont's lament @ Jul 20 2006, 06:32 AM) not any of the times i've been there. it took practically nothing to flood the shit out of the strip last year. you can have all the drainage systems in the world, but when a dry desert area has a flash flood (sudden downpoor of rain lasting anywhere from 10 minutes on up) the ground is going to flood because dry desert land can only hold so much ground water.... whereas places that have more rain...the ground can take in more water. drainage systems can only do so much. |
