I've noticed that the Library Reflection Pool's been empty for what seems like a couple of months now. I see heavy equipment doing some kind of work in it and around it. Does anybody know what they're doing to it and why? They do empty it normally for a week or so every spring but not for this long.

I remember walking across a wooden plank, narrow path through

the middle of the site in early September 1965, during the pool's construction.

A year later, I was tossed into the pond by students after a pep rally in the amphitheater (a tradition of male cheerleaders being thrown into water after rallies,) stepping out with Dean Walter Cox and Coach Howard standing adjacent and laughing. Howard said, "Boy, you bettah not stand sideways, 'cause you's skinny as a toothpick!" There is a photo of that in an old "Taps."

Some years later, I attended a Clemson function in Columbia and ran into both Cox and Howard, and I'll be danged if the first words out of Howard's mouth were, "Boy, you still skinny as a toothpick!" A huge laugh erupted, and I couldn't believe he remembered that episode nearly ten years earlier at the reflection pond.
