Description
Students at The University of Texas at Arlington are seen carrying an internal combustion engine across campus to be buried in a shallow grave on campus for Earth Day. Alpha Rho Chi, the UTA architecture fraternity, led the "funeral services" and its pledges wore surgical and gas masks as the engine was lowered into its grave and a live oak tree was then planted on top.
