Trainer Requests'Mercy'
For University Lawns
Students were requested yesterday to “live and let live”
so far as the University lawns are concerned. ’
Walter Trainer, head of the division of landscape and
construction, said the students do not realize the damage
they are doing to the grass when they walk on the University
lawns.
He said, “In view of the effect
of next spring, it would be ad
visable for students to avoid short
cuts over worn areas. Now is the
worst time to walk on the lawns.’’
Trainer explained that walking
over the same path in the winter
kills the entire grass plant.
He said nothing can be done
now except to put up wire fences
around the damaged areas. The
University will be doing more of
this n'ext week, he said.
Cost Estimated
Trainer estimated that the dam
age would run up to $5OO or $6OO
in time and materials when these
areas have to be repaired in the
spring.
The University will •be espe
cially short on time and help next
spring because they will be pre
paring a lawn and sowing seed
for the Memorial Chapel and the
home management houses, and
the time needed to repair the
lawns will consequently be ex
pensive, Trainer said.
Continuing on the subject of
the new projects, he said the sec
ond stage of planting for the build
ings going up now will be in the
fall. Shruobery .and small trees
will be planted then, he said.
Removes Stumps
Asked about ether work his de
partment is doing, Trainer said
they are in the process of remov
ing several tree stumps on cam
pus.
One root is the remains of an
elm tree on the mall near the
College arvenue entrance which
was struck by lightning about a
year ago
Another project is the silver
maple at the north corner of Old
Main and another at Women’s
Building.

Cabinet Moves
To Old Main;
Deserts HUB
■ All-University Cabinet met for
the first time since before-Thanks
giving Thursday—and its mem
bers’ faces were familiar—but its
meeting place was different.
- Cabinet deserted the student
government room in the Hetzel
Union Building and returned to
its old meeting room: the board
room of Old Main. It had met in
the HUB since early,last semester.
All-University' President Earl
Seely, when questioned on the
move, said the main reason was
the difference in “atmospheres"
between the rooms. The board
room presents an air of formali
ty, of' business, and of serious
hess that the HUB room doesn’t
offer.
Because of its location between
two corridors of student activity
rooms, Cabinet discussion was
often interfered with by students
crossing the meeting floor (which
induces shoes to squeak) and op
ening, and closing the main door.
. Seely said Cabinet will contin
ue to use the board room for
“sometime.”
