The whole website refresh definitely indicates to me that there is something going on behind the scenes at CUU.
Elmer strikes me very much as the prototypical geologist/scientist (sorry to generalize) that has little concern for aesthetics and appearance and is much more concerned with what lies beneath (or below as the case may be here). Pair that with his notorious tight-fistedeness, and the idea that he would want to spend money to do a website refresh just for the heck of it a couple weeks before the BFS is due leads me to believe something else is going on. What that something is, I'm still not sure but I sure am looking forward to finding out in the next few weeks.
