University needs to buy snowplows to replace brushes

Well here we go again. Although late, winter hath arrived and the fleet of ice polishers is out and about. I have been here for four winters now and I keep hoping this great engineering and technology school with all of its great minds can come up with something better to clear the sidewalks. Instead of students walking around campus today, I saw penguins waddling ever so slowly to avoid a potential fall on the nicely polished sidewalks. I even found it easier to walk in the snowdrifts or even in the streets. It is easier to see a car coming than to see a deadly patch of ice (although the brush marks do stand out). Anyway, you knew someone had to write something about this once again. I have seen countless letters concerning this during my existence here. Maybe if I become rich and famous someday, I will be influential in the introduction of the snowplow to this campus. Happy sledding!
