New "Construction" Actually Search for Treasure

The X's mark the spots where Matt is alleged to have buried treasure.

  The college just announced its intent to create a new gas line that snakes through campus. What the student population and many of the faculty don’t know is that this so-called construction is actually the brainchild of the library and anthropology department, who are have underhandedly taken control of the Building Committee. Evidence shows that bribery, blackmail, and an alleged beagle kidnapping has forced all but 2 minor members of the Committee to vote on a proposal to build the new line.

          The real reason for the construction begins with the archival librarian Kit Caboodle, who found a set of maps created by Matt before he died. She brought them to the anthropology department to decipher, where they discovered that the maps actually lead to buried treasure on campus. Unfortunately for the crew, the map points to multiple points, hence the reason for the gas line. No word on how they intend to claim the treasure once it’s found, or what the alleged treasure is (gold doubloons? an armory of ancient weapons? a secret beer recipe?).
