LANDS New techniques and horticulture students are used to beautify the campus he new look on campus wasn ' t just in the fashions students wore, but also in the landscaping techniques by Jon Gullette, director of general services at the power plant. Our budget did not However, management techniques and what we wanted to do did. Our was based on doing the best job we could and the goals we had set, Gullette said. With a budget less than last year, the department put its revised management into effect. Our budget was $483,430. That really wasn ' t too much less than last year ' s. We organized a list of short and long-range goals and we set out to complete them, Gullette said. Sidewalk replacement was part of the long-range replacement program. Our five to 10-year plans include the eradication of dandelions, equipment the replacement of ' cow paths ' with sidewalks, the addition of trees and shrubs and the identification of playing fields, Gullette said. Removing the cow paths became a planned task. We tried to identify areas where there were cow paths and install sidewalks where funds were available, Tom Lee, superintendent of grounds, said. However, there is no way to stop the cow paths. We did put up chain barriers in a few of those areas and people were very cooperative in staying out. Later, we tore down some of those chained areas and laid sod. Short-ranged plans included the installation of new grass on the Anderson Hall lawn. the flowers planted throughout the campus, the trimming of the vines along the buildings, and a number of other projects. Members of the horticulture classes participated in the growth and planting of the flowers throughout the We are an agriculturally based University. It is good for the image of the the University to have good-looking lawns, Gullette said. We just want to take pride on campus. And if we get students more involved with these various projects, then they will take pride on how the campus looks also. Approximately 25 full-time students were hired to perform campus landscaping duties in nine different areas on a rotative basis. From the employee level, each and every one of our employees has more input than in the past, Donald Sherley, horticulturist, said. This gives the students more pride and they want to do a good job. We go through in the spring and clean up the campus and the students have really helped us in that area. Students were also given the opportunity to decide for themselves how to solve the problems encountered while on the job. When presented with a problem, we liked to take it to the people, the employees the work, and let them tell us how they would like to complete the project, Lee said. Additional short-range plans include the overseeding of the east portion of lawn and Umberger Hall. We knew exactly what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it, Gullette said. The biggest thing we during the year was to line up the projects, schedule them through by a date on when we thought each should be and then complete the By Laurie Randall A BED OF BEAUTY — New flower beds adorn Seaton Court lining the sidewalks with a touch of color.
