lol it's so funny though, people outside Sydney have no clue what UTS is....
But yes, I think that simply it's tallness gives it a certain charm and charisma that the other unis lack... the tower makes a statement "bow down to me, for I am tall... and ugly"
It's also unique in that it is one of the only 1970's style really tall buildings that one can see in Sydney, so really it's a momument to that period of architechual history.
And that would have to be some pretty freaky sunlight to make your mini tower look like ivory Asqy!! It looks like a short UTS in my opinion lol.... see, UTS is so wonderful that UNSW made a mini monument to it in their own uni...
