This wall was a salvation for the club, and plans were made for construction to be completo during this term. Somehow, there was a breakdown in communication; the wall was never built and no plans were definite or finalized. It is now known that Imbriaco Contractors have been awarded the job. Currently, $2,160 has been set aside from the campus budget to construct this wall. Construction and completion of this wall is scheduled for some time during the Spring Term.
