TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1960 Snow Removal 20 Miles of Walks Must Be Cleaned By TOM EGGLER Twenty miles of snow covered walks, and they all have to be cleaned! And that's not all. There are also 25 acres of parking lots, over 6 acres of service courts and 5 miles of roads that must be cleaned when the campus is hit by a heavy snowfall. How is it all done? Frank Pear son, head of the landscape divi sion of the physical plant, which has charge of cleaning up the' snow, said, "We try to get everyE thing we can with mechanized equipment." The usual fighting force of ' this mechanized snow removing army includes seven large lawn Tractors and six garden tractors. all with front mounted blades. In an emergency even more equipment may be called in to help clean up the snow. Two cinder trucks may be used to scatter cinders on roads, trac tors push parking lots clean and the snow is loaded onto trucks with lifts and carried away. And a bulldozer may plow its way out to the University barns. But the whole job can't be done by machinery so there are plenty of shovels handy when the snow hits Often extra crews have to be called in to man them. Pearson said that sometimes clews from the University farms help out and that in the past even students have been hired; Ironically enough, the hard est places to clean are the places that need cleaning the most. Pearson said that the snow be comes packed and icy where there are a lot of students. Walks in the vicinity of the Hetzel Union Building and Boucke are usually hardest to clean because this is whore the greatest number of students pass, Pearson explained. For traffic, Shortlidge Rd. is one of the physical plant's worst headaches. When ice starts to form they have to keep crews handy to cinder and scrape the hill leading onto campus. To help break up the ict' on the walks, a mixture of sawdust and calcium chloride is used. This both cuts the ice and breaks it up and gives traction. But not all of the walks have to be shoveled or at least if they do, the job isn't too hard. These are the ones under which steam tunnels from the University power plant run. - These tunnels carry heat to campus buildings as well as elec tricity and other utility lines. These are the walks from which you may have seen steam rising on a cold damp morning or after a rain. One goes up the left side of the Mall past the Armory and Sparks. Another runs down the left side of Pollock Rd.
