At around 11 A.M., dozens of workers stand knee-deep in the fields surrounding USF’s MLK Plaza, shoveling their way through a lengthy project. Today these workers begin their second week of sweating and dirt-tossing, with the goal of creating an extensive tunnel to provide a route for electrical wiring. This project, which is scheduled to reach completion in a few months, will result in 105 scattered light posts protruding from the fields, creating a more attractive and well-lit campus.
