Rakes on Way Out
Litter Getter, physical plant’s newest automation addi
tion, has made the rake virtually obsolete.
Litter Getter and its smaller brother, Little Shark, have
been scooting about the past few days clearing the campus'
of everything from autumn leaves to day-old Froths. ;
Although paper cups, milk car
tons, tin cans, pop bottles and
Daily Collegians have been emp
tied from the $2BOO machine, Lit
ter Getter’s specialty is, of course,
leaves.
Its powerful gasoline-operated
vacum pump pulls in the leaves—
Litter Getter can hold about 20
cubic yards compressed to about
6 cubic yards—and grinds and
pulverizes them. -
Walter W. Trainer, head of
the Division of Landscape, is
proud of the three machines—
the third is used permanently
on Beaver Field—which can
easily do the work of a half
dozen men. They not only save
labor. Trainer said, but can do
the job faster and more effi
ciently and will pay for them
selves in a year.

ation Proves
include the machine’s ability to
shred the leaves before they are
put in composte piles by the
division. This means the leaves
will decompose in two or three
years, where it previously took
five.
There’ll be fewer cluttered gut
ters, too, Trainer said, with a re
sulting lessening of drain clog
ging.
The smaller machines the
Litter Sharks cost consider
ably less than the Litter Getter,
about $260 each, \

game to clear up the hundreds of
pounds of paper and other trash
left by the fast-exiting spectators.
