Tuesday. March 1968 THE DAILY TAT SEE Pase 3 iY-'a-.vX.Sx, ,; . Wall J Reliving ToitM By SAM R. HULL The Walls Came Down by Babs Tumbling II. Deal. Inc., 19C8. uouoieciay & Co., 312 pp. $4.95. vvhen a small Southern university town the skeleton of a baby has been found in the air shaft of a demolished sorority house, there is a mixture of amuse ment and concern. However, when it is learned that the shaft was open only once during the summer of 1944 when only nine girls were staying at the Delta llouse-the attitudes change to fear and suspicion. Fortunately, Mrs. Deal does not allow 'this Peyton Place type of plot to color her study of the seven local women the scandal affects. The women involved, all good friends, relive the sweltering war-time summer. The walls of their con temporary, model lives fall down, as they are forced to re evaluate their present ex istences. Mrs. Deal, whose last novel, Fancy's Knell, was nominated as "an outstanding suspense story" in 1966 by the Mystery Writers of America, plays down the suspense in this one. She deals with characters: Edyth, whose husband tortures her with his suspicions; Joan, the widow of a poet-professor whose college literature class and life were over her head; B.J., the prolific mother of five; Sandy, the romantic ballet instructor who once lov ed Joan's husband: and the others, whose lives, both past and present, are entiwined within the small-town socie ty. Amidst this seeming con fusion, Mrs. Deal establishes rcharacterizations by a Down they go . .

Having established the characters, looked into their thoughts, and relived each one's memory of that hot sum mer night at the sorority house, Mrs. Deal allows the reader to decide for himself "who done it." And a decision not without ample page flip ping and calculating, for qno character is without some guilt, be it the guilt of com mitting an abortion or other wise.

State University and puts it to good use keeping UNC's grounds looking smart. A licensed horticulturist. Trammel is the campus superintendent of grounds crews for the Un i v e r s i t y Physical Plant. This makes him responsible for completing hundreds of tasks which de mand the services of Mr. Fixit, Paul Bunyan and Mr. Wizard combined into one superhuman handyman. The biggest job the grounds crews have recently done was the landscaping of James Residence College, 4 W e planted over 600 pieces of trees and shrubs-, including magnolias, maples, beech and Japanese live oaks," Trammel said. All landscape plans for new and old buildings originate in this department. "We nave a very high regard for plants and trees," trammel continued. The Physical Piant is mindful of the jealousy with which staudenty and . alumni guard the natural beauty of their campus. So trees and shrubs are . not removed without careful study.1 "We" work very closely with the Botany Department, which has advisors to the Buildings and Grounds Committee. We're well-pleased with their cooperation:" - - Sentimental alumni who cringe at the . removal of a favorite tree are missing the picture the grounds crew plants many more trees than it uproots. Case in point: 25 six-inch high cherry trees were planted near Graham Memorial this month. puter centers we provide scientific and business programming support for many technical disciplines.

"We planted the young trees close to the old ones so they will be in the same location." With- re-planting projects scattered across campus, he estimated that 1,500-2,000 trees and shrubs have been planted since November. About 10 per cent of them were grown at a two-acre nursery near University Lake, where over 100 different types of trees and shrubs are raised for campus use. The nursery is cared for by one of three sections of the grounds crew. Trees and shrubbery are the speciality of the 15-man units but like the grounds crew as a whole, they have diverse duties. They set up and decorate the stage for commencement ceremonies, which eat ails preparing one stage in Kenan Stadium for fair-weather use and another in Carmichael Auditorium in case of rain. The grounds crew also takes care of grading, and sowing grass seed. Then there are the needs of the trees and s hrubs--trimming," spraying, watering, weeding, mulching and fertilizing. 1 Trammel called the division of the grounds department workers into crews "the most sizable change in our depart ment in the past year." "We have three foremen who are in charge of - various aspects of the campus opera tion they're extremely responsible." The foremen are T.W. Lloyd, W.W. Baker and 7.J. Dunsmore. Although each crew has work areas in which they con centrate, they combine for tpac, deftnte. Neat massive tasks such and ice removal. as snovv The campus is divided mto three areas and they are further broken down by priori ty. It's a gigantic job. To remove the snow and ice on campus costs us several hun dred dollars a day." Just as the crew run by Dunsmore works largely with trees and shrubs. Baker has a nine-man force that pours con crete and lays drains, pipes and brick walks. The 11 men on Lloyd's crew put up the chains and posts which keep people off the grass, and they mow what they've insured vrui grow. They mow about 87 acres a week during mowing season, March through November," siad Trammel. "As extra help in the summer we employ 15-25 temporary voung men, usually high school students, to help cut the grass and weeds." The grass strips in campus parking lots ere tended by the crew, which builds all gravel parking lots. Four men in the crew have permanent assignments o f walking over designated areas looking for litter to skewer and stuff in their cloth bags. The three crews merge into 20-man groups to clean up after home football games and during Jubilee. A smaller number of part time workers are hired to clean up litter over normal weekends. "We also hold a special clean-up on Friday to get the campus looking im pressive for visitors," Tram mel added. Campus - wide maintenance jobs, such as litter collection, shrubbery trimming and the cleaning of drainage pipes and catch basins are scheduled on large campus maps which in dicate where work is needed.
