My alma mater’s longheld desire to renovate its football stadium has hit yet another unexpected snag: It appears that the current plans would
effectively destroy the longstanding Golden Bears institution known as Tightwad Hill. I’ve never watched a game from up there, but I’ve always liked the idea that it was a possibility. My hunch is that the university will destroy the Tightwad tradition, just as surely as it has quashed decades of tradition at nearby
Bowles Hall.
