Letter: ?Campus landmark deserves a polish

TO THE EDITOR:

Our most iconic image, the Old Well, needs a makeover. I know the columns are painted every few months, and that’s great, but what makes me frown every time I walk by is the rusted, green roof. It has to be cleaned more often. I know we have a ladder around that can get us up there. Then all we would need would be a hose and some water.

Better yet, we could even replace it with a new lid with that sweet Carolina Blue we all love so much. It is the one monument visitors time to take a picture in front of and I think it should look pristine in every single Instagram or Snapchat. I know we shouldn’t be spending money to fix material things when our academic integrity is under fire, but if there is one thing that deserves a physical facelift, it’s our Old Well.
