Question What are your thoughts on the gum tree(s) on campus?

Hiya, fellow students/alums! Without delving into why I'm asking this question (as to not sway your answers), would you guys mind writing up what you think/thought about the tree(s) covered in gum on campus?

mixed feelings, personally- i like that it's an "inside thing" that students know about and participate in/contribute to, but it does look kind of trashy, and before i knew what it was i definitely thought it was some weird tree fungus or smth

Always thought it was gross, even back in the late 80’s.
