ATTACK! part II - University of Oklahoma campus (read part I first!)

For now, this will have to do without pictures, but I promise they are coming soon.  

After reading part one below (which you should've done), I now want to ask you a question...

The National  Weather Center, which was recently built on Highway 9 and Jenkins, is what some might call a nice building (you won't hear me give it much more credit than that).  However, this building that the University and the National Weather Center partnered up to build, is completely cut off from view (from highway 9) from about the 3rd floor down.  The reason?  THE EASTERN REDCEDAR!

Some of those cedars were already there when the Center was built, BUT, the University came back through and planted a thicker hedge of them to block the view (or maybe smell) from highway 9.  

WHY?  Why would the University, that has been so extensive in landscaping over recent years, think it is a good idea to plant a HEDGE of these cedars (this was rhetorical...it's the same University that destroys and replants thousands of flowers several times a year on the South Oval as part of their beautification efforts)?  There are many other types of cedar, pine, or many other evergreens that could have had the same effect, and come on, they are much more attractive than the invasive breed.  

How beautiful, right?  

Now maybe the University is planning on using these cedars as biofuel (from article below) for their new fleet of buses, but I highly doubt it.  I'm sure this issue is nowhere close to being on President Boren's agenda, but the sad part is that if any attention was paid whatsoever, these never would have been replanted in the first place, and the surrounding University property should be removed of them.
