Pick Your Fountain

Those of you who journeyed through undergrad at Campbell at the same time I did probably remember the infamous fountain campaign.

We are now living in the days of football and convocation centers, but not too long ago the ambitions of Campbell were a lot simpler: a fountain in front of the business school.

You might remember the framed picture set up in one of the entrances to the buisness building. You might remember the jokes made whenever tuition went up, parking tickets were given, or any kind of fee was imposed..."they've gotta pay for the fountain." You also might remember that the planning to finishing phase for this fountain literally took years!

Today I took the kids I watch to Campbell and we walked around and looked at the fountains. First, we visited that well-campaigned-for water spout and then the older, smaller, more pathetic looking fountain.

Which one did my kids enjoy more? At which one did they engage in more splashing and running? You got it.....the old one.

So much for fountain campaigns.
