Wonder if Auburn (city and/or school) have "toilet paper removal" as a line item in the annual budget.

We do! We're the only city in the world that has it on our budget line! Fun fact from student recruiters lol.
As an Auburn student, and Auburn fan my whole life (I was born on the 1991 Iron Bowl...Dad was not too happy about it) I was brought to tears when Auburn sent our student body the tragic email. The Auburn Creed (which we take VERY seriously down here in Auburn) declares that "we are a spirit not afraid" and that is the attitude we as students have taken. They can kill our oaks, they can deface our property, but they can NEVER take our love for our alma mater. And, I think that is an amazing thing to say about our community. It is so sad to me to say that my kids will never see the trees that my father saw in 1957 (I'm adopted...makes a lot more sense when you think about me being a current freshman). My only positive thought in this whole situation is that if they replace the trees this year, or put some sort of memorial in at least they'll be "National Champs" trees?
PS: We had our Theta valentine's social and my date and I took a picture of us hugging our tree.
