I was in line at Tim Horton's today on campus, browsing through the Gazette, and happened upon an article raising concern over the lack of water fountains these days, and I have to say I agree. If there were a better designed fountain though, more of a tap. I understand there are sinks on campus, but the stigma attached to "tap water" is probably too much for most people to deal with. If it were all metal and sanitary looking, like most water fountains are, and were able to fill re-usable containers quickly, I'm thinking it would be a pretty solid call. I'm just so damn thirsty.
