"The oldest picture they've found is from 1910 in which the trees look to be about 20 years old," Enebak said. The toilet-paper rolling of the area around Toomer's corner probably began in the early 1960s and used to be performed only after victories in away games. But now every victory merits a rolling of the trees at the corner. John Mouton, senior adviser to the president for campus planning, said the pressure-washing of the trees will continue unless another way to clean off the toilet paper can be found. "I don't disagree that it is not healthy for the trees to do the power-washing, but the alternative is to leave the toilet paper on the trees. We've tried to use soaker hoses and that didn't work," Mouton said. "If someone has a suggestion, we would try alternative methods." Source: al.com's Printer-Friendly Page | |
