Campus Spring Cleanup
Is Ahead Of Schedule
By Three Weeks
Transformation of the college
campus from dull winter brown
to bright spring green began
three weeks ahead of the usual
schedule, according to Walter H.
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.

PRICE THREE CENTS
Will Start. 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.
