The saw dust is obtained by the University from saw mills on Bald Eagle Mountain. The other jobs on the cleanup include sweeping walks and roads to remove cinders and other ma terial used for icy conditions and removing dead branches from trees. Trainer said his division will be on a close look out for sighs of the Dutch Elm disease, which caused an "epidemic" two years ago among campus trees. Last year, however, only one tree was infected with the disease.

As a second objective, Morse urged broadening and deepening of education by planned reading.

Going to Indin _ . Dr. Eisenhower, who introduced Morse to the group, saki that the U.S. government has selected Morse to become cultural affairs officer in one of the most difficult spots in the world, India.
