Students would be free to do anything they very well please. Some could choose to lounge on the steps of Widener and debate the finer points of Emerson or discuss the migratory patterns of the North American ibis. Others might choose to take a contemplative stroll along the Charles or play frisbee with blockmates. Maybe we could even take some of the Undergraduate Council's $40,000 and build a fort-thingy in the middle of the Yard.
Coordinating something like this would require widespread cooperation. But if the measure had the support of Neil, Harry and Fentrice, it just might be in the realm of possibility.
Until then, I will be watching the kids on the crummy playground outside my window.
