Should Lane Tech become a Chicago Landmark?

If anyone knows where Lane Tech High School is, they will know that it is very significant. The building will soon turn 100 years old, (the school is actually much older, if that makes any sense). I think it should be a landmark because it has stunning architecture, a beautiful campus, historic location (right next to riverview) and is enormous. Quite frankly, from Addison it looks like some kind of castle. Since I went there for school, i think there are a few things that could be done to bump it to landmark status.

1. Put a new totem pole, the one that is up looks cheap, and is rusty.

2. Add new night lights which should beautify, attracting attention to it. Instead of the nasty yellow lights that light it up now, put some real nice white lights.

3. Fix the stadium up so it fits in nicely with the school.

Actually the list could go on and on. My main point is that i think it should be given more attention as a landmark. Do you agree? Is already one? Seriouly, cause there is not a lot of other buildings that looks just as beautiful as Lane Tech in the Chicago area.>
