Every spring facilities services makes a special effort to make the campus look nice. April is a critical month for campus visits: each college hosts a candidate's day and invites all the high school seniors who have been offered admission to come and meet the faculty and tour the campus. "Lots of kids come to campus this time of year and we make an extra effort to look good," said Gary Falasca, director of facilities services. "We never had a winter where we had to deal with so much snow. It snowed so heavily we used heavy equipment to move it off the streets. If we had known at the beginning of the winter we were going to get more than 70 inches of snow we could have planned for areas to remove the excess accumulation." Falasca said they plan to bring in loads of top soil removed from the tennis courts project, and re-seed the lawn at Maginnes with a turf mixture designed for athletic use. This should Snow plows were out for the final time this year (hopefully!) and removed the mountain of snow piled in front of Maginnes Hall. Photos by brian ricker 94 hold up better under the heavy use the lawn receives. "Redoing the Maginnes lawn was not planned, but this is an opportunity to make the lawn much better than it was," he said. "We couldn't just wait for the snow to melt," added Richard Benner, assistant director of facilities services. "The snow was mixed with anti-skid material and an unbelievable quantity of trash that was just scooped up by the snow plows. It looked terrible. If we waited for the snow to melt naturally there was a very good chance it would be too late to re-seed the lawn. The seed needs to be planted in early to mid-spring before it gets too warm." The tree planting around campus was part of their ongoing tree maintenance program, according' to Benner. In addition to . . planting 30 trees, they also Crews from Greentree Nursery were busy planting 30 shade trees across the Asa Packer Campus. From left to right: Fred Heinemann of Allentown, Rick Smith of Northampton, and Mike Nemes of Allentown. had to remove a few trees and perform maintenance work on other trees. Also in the plans is routine re-seeding of heavily trafficked areas, extensive road repair on the Goodman Campus to fill in pot holes and sections that collapsed, repairing the slate steps by the University Center that deteriorated due to the weather, and other damage. "The was a tough winter. Everything was covered with snow and the plows couldn't see what to avoid. Even our snow stakes marking catchment basins were covered by the snow," said Benner. Faculty take part in Handicapped-for-a-Day program Professor Keith Schray learned about the difficulties of being handicapped on Lehigh's mountainous campus April 13. Schray and President Likins were among those who spent much of the day in wheelchairs performing their daily activities as volunteers in Lehigh for Life's Handicapped-for-a-Day program. Schray started his day in a wheelchair and found that some cf the problems were hard to anticipate. "I left early from the Mudd building to teach my class at Packard Lab. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get up the hill to the building using your arms," commented Schray. "Finally, a student helped with a push. She said she would not have to do her normal workout after that." He was not able to stand at a blackboard to teach his class and had to use an overhead projector.
