The attractiveness of the
A.C.C. college campus, is often
taken for granted as we come
into daily contact with it. The
Landscaping Committee of
A.C.C. is responsible for
initiating ideas of campus
t>eautification and putting plans
into action. This year's Land
scaping Commitee consists of
Mr. DouglS Graham, Dr. Robert
Capps, Dr. Robert Parker, Mr.
Ed Brown, Mr. Milton Adams,
and Mr. Lee Moore. Replacing
last year’s chairman, Mr.
Brown, is Mr. Graham. As
chairman, Mr. Graham has
voiced committee consideration
of three projects for this year.
These projects were voted on by
last year’s Committee. They
deal with beautifucation in three
areas on campus. First, is the
problem in front of Howard
Chapel where, it seems, students
have been dissatisfied with the
existing sidewalks. The barren
path of ground made by the
student shortcut across the
grass area would be covered
with an additional sidewalk. The
other two projects deal with the
barren area flanking the street
side of Hilley Women’s Dorm
and the area in front of Hardy
Alumni Hall. These projects
would seek to beautify and
soften the harhness of the
buildings and to remedy the
problem of dirt paths and mud
holes by planting trees and
plants and by concreting cer-
taing areas. The plants, fur
nished from our own campus
sources, would cut the cost of the
projects considerably. Land
scaping with walks, planters and
benches may also fit into this
scheme of design.

publicity, and approaches to

the concerns of students and the
community. The workshops
evolved around environmental
concerns, health concerns,
concern for dependent and
