Trainer, campus maintenance supervisor. An extensive program to main tain the 160 acres of beautiful campus lawns requires the em ployment of 11 men, working steadily, and a large amount of material. A few years ago, paper and rubbish was picked up from the campus by one man working two days a week. Now, one man works full time on the job. Four teen percent of the finances al lotted for the upkeep of the lawns is expended for this work. The 106 acre campus lawns, in cluding the 12 new acres this year, require mowing once a week during the 2 week sched ule. Thirty-two tons of fertiliz er and 1,225 pounds of grass seed were used this spring to shape up the lawns. Six men working on shrubs and three on trees complete the cam pus maintenance crew. The workers are kept busy as the campus is host to a tree and shrub collection of some 520 va rieties which receive about 11,- 500 gallons of spray a year. Thirty-six men make up the landscape construction crew who work mainly on the 12 miles of campus concrete and macadam walks. They also keep in con dition the 12 miles of roads, driveways, and parking lots that can accommodate parking for 1,324 cars. 4 „,„ 'B a tt y (\,..,,, L4 T u n ~ !lAy___-, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1941, STATE COI' LFGE, PA Nine In A Row Dr. Carl E.

Next Fall On Water Tower Site Heinz Warneke, noted animal sculptor, agreed to carve the Lion Shrine yesterday and he will probably start the project next fall, upon the approval of the Board of Trustees. The site will be in front of the Water Tower. Roughing and preparing of the stone, a piece of limestone, will be done at a quarry, but final cutting will be made by hand on the campus, Warneke has an nounced. The shrine will assume propor tions three times life-size and be mounted on a small base. Though no official contract has yet been signed, Warneke said he would do the work for the original $5,- 340 fund appropriated by the class of 1940. "I believe in the work the Col lege is doing for the sake of art," the sculptor stated, "and I will try to traditionalize the figure of the lion." In yesterday's visit to the cam pus Warneke brought six plaster models and three full scale draw ings of lion figures. From these models the Shrine committee selected a characteristic moun tain lion. Moving to the shrine site, the committee was shown the full scale drawing on a screen to de termine how surrounding archi tectural features would lend to the size of the shrine. • Warneke is prepared to start the shrine as soon as the College architectural committee approves the lion figure. It has already recommended the site. Final ap proval rests with the Board of Trustees which meets next month. Warneke's official contract will be drawn up in a few days by the committee. 1111111111111111111W111111U1M1111111111111111111111111111111111 Late News Bulletins 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111M1111111111111111111 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL National League Philadelphia 6, Pittsburgh 2 Brooklyn 13, Cincinnati 2 St. Louis 5, New York 4 Boston 6, Chicago 3 American League Cleveland 8, Philadelphia 3 St. Louis 3, New York 2. • Chicago 3, Washington 2 Detroit 5, Boston 3 WASHINGTON—The nation's soft coal strike has ended.
