The December Jour nal tells you "1-lOw to Be Pop. ular." Your eyes, smile, manner can help you hypnotize men—' if you know a few simple tricks. (P.S.) information comes from an irrefutable source—men! Needed Costs landscape division, it costs four cents per square foot to reseed and recondition lawns after they are damaged. The paths 'students make, by shortcutting across the lawns account for a big part of this condition, Yeagley said. According to Pierson, many of these shorfeuts only save students a few steps, for he has actually measured some of them step by step. Another grounds problem is damage done to signs that are placed around campus. Yeagley said that it costs $5 to replace a small sign like a "no parking" sign and $lO for a large red stop sign. Waste disposal is as much of a i problem to the Maintenance De partment as it is to the Housing Department, Yeagley said. He said that a man must be hired to work at least three days a week just picking up paper dropped around campus. "Around the residence halls, the bottles, cans and paper ac cumulated on the lawns can be measured in truckloads," he said. In addition to increasing the ground maintenance task, the practice of throwing discarded food out the windows of the residence halls adds to the in sect and rodent problem, Yeag lei. added. Damage in the classrooms also adds to the cost of the, mainten ance program, Yeagley Said. He said that in many cases table tops and chair arms must .be resur faced- because of initials and names cut into them. "Wooden fops can be sanded down," he said, "but when the new plastic surfaces on some equipment is damaged. the whole top must be replaced." The University's rather abun dant supply of rain comes in for a share of the blame too, accord ing to Yeagley. He explained that rain corning in open windows has stained walls, floors and var nished surfaces and ruined blinds and plaster.

The IFC Safety and Insurance Commit tee has compiled a checklist for use by the fraternities, Fey said. No penalties for violations of either check have been con sidered, he added. The encampment workshop also recommended that each frater nity initiate a fire-prevention and safety program in their pledge instruction. This. program would include the use and- location of fire extinguishers in each House, the handling and - uses of com bustible liquids, Fey said. Nothing has been done about this recommendation so far, he explained. The committee plans to set up a recommended basic program and let each house work out the details, he added. Re-evaluation of the insurance programs carried by the indivi dual houses may also be necessary in an increased safety plan, Fey said. THE PAGE FIVE
