Last week signs reading Your Feet Are Killing Me appeared on campus lawns provoking chuckles and reflection. Summer work included transplanting bushes, laying walks, and planting grass with over $29,000 spent on seed fertilizer and top soil, not including labor.
Footloose students trampling lawns around Merrill hall show the campus lacks pride. Two diagonal blacktop walks connect corners, but the tree covered campus is marred by ten thousand feet. The writer urges respect for the defenseless grass and asks readers to consider the lawn before taking shortcuts.
Kampuscope reports government data shows marriages for females 16 to 60 rose by over 19 percent in the first three months of the year compared with the same period last year. The piece notes a price/romance angle from a jeweler and includes humorous campus quips and student notes.
Letters to the Editor criticizes the Union lawn as a cow pasture like with broken paths. The superintendent suggests blacktop walks will guide foot traffic and protect the grass, proposing a plan for spring to create a more appealing front area.
Miss Hanway describes the assembly committee’s challenge in funding and selecting speakers for University events. She notes costs of top figures, details members, and outlines upcoming guests including Toos Baas, J Roger Carter, and Princess Deana with plans for future names.
