NARRATOR：

Now Listen to two students discussing the opinion expressd in the letter.

MALE STUDENT：

I totally agree with the letter.

FEMALE STUDENT：

How come? Don't you think the campus looked pretty at night?

MALE STUDENT：

Well...it might make the buildings look nice at night but

why should we waste so much money on something we really don't need? Just for looks,

there are more important things than that.

FEMALE STUDENT：

I can see your point.

MALE STUDENT：

I mean how long has that library project been going on?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, the whole third floor has been closed for the last few months.

MALE STUDENT：

Exactly. And just last night, I had my astronomy class with professor Henrik.

He told us something that was totally disappointing.

We've been tracking a comet all semester long

and he says if the university's plan goes through,

we won't be able to see the comet through telescopes anymore.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's so sad.

You chose the school just because of the astronomy program, didn't you?

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah, it's such a good program.

But if it's too bright around here at night,

we'll have to go back to looking at the pictures of comets in the textbook.

You could tell Professor Henrik is disappointed too.

It's the hands-on experience that gets everyone all excited.
