the university will es tablish a course in effective study methods as a help for the 49 fresh men who have gone on valentine probation such extensive failures often mean ecpecially in the case of freshmen that the student's whole attack on his studies is ineffective more specifically that he does not know how to concentrate and that he is using faulty methods of study in the past many such students have expressed an earnest desire for help in these matters states dean c m mcconn each freshman enrolled in this course will be required to drop one of the regular courses in which he is failing — usually the one in which he feels most hopelessly lost add ed dean mcconn will not carry credits the new course in effective stu dy methods will not carry credit towards graduation but it will be counted as a course towards stay ing in college and keeping off probation the first two exercises of this course will be held in room 466 packard laboratory at 7:30 p m on wednesday nov 13 and

according to liv ing groups because of the possibil ity of mistakes and consequent in justices to some groups by carstens y haas it all began one sunny afternoon when i watched two of the men on mr litzenberger's grounds crew and two of the n y a student workers loading leaves into one of thomas smith's huge moving vans as they placed the leaves on the big piece of burlap gathered in the four corners heaved it up inside the body of the truck and then packed them away tightly i wondered how long a time was required to carry away all the levaes how many truck loads there were and where they all came from and went to a e litzenberger over in the alumni building gave me an idea of how many trees how many acres and how many trucks my first ques tion about the leaves around the campus involved at present the university does not have the facilities to dispose of the levaes that each fall cover or threaten to cover 50 acres on the lower campus although the fallen leaves are excellent things for the trees they are not excellent for the lawns that have made lehigh's campus famous and gas masks would be required if mr litzen berger's men attempted to burn all the leaves on the campus to the rescue come c a buck 87 comptroller of the bethlehem steel company and the city of bethlehem mr buck has eight truckloads hauled away to his pri vate greenhouses where the leaves are allowed to decompose to form a compost after three years says mr litzenberger the compost is formed and mr buck has some of the finest fertilizer seen this side of chile the city is content to haul the leaves — ten truckloads — to its various parks and public gardens there they are bound with corn stalks and burlap bags and set up to protect valuable shrubbery and less hardy plants this process of falling raking piling loading and hauling begins usually about the middle of october and continues for three weeks dur ing that time mr litzenberger em ploys a total of 17 men add to that several extra men which the city sends to help load its trucks of the 600 trees on the lower campus 200 are hardwaad the amount of leaves dropped by the 400 softwood trees is not much greater than that of the hardwood variety but there are still more than 25 acres of lawn to be cleared of leaves note to business 3 students rak ing leaves in this case is most cer tainly production on the upper campus — sayre park — only the roads are cleared of leaves warns mr litzenberger so don't take your houseparty date into the wilderness off the paved stretch when you drive up over the hill lehigh university brown and
