CAMPUS AND AREA
University Daily Kansan, January 24, 1985 Page $
Facilities operations workers chisel ice left from recent snowfalls. Jim Mathes, former snow removal superviser, said yesterday that the crews had worked since New Year's Day to clear campus sidewalks.
Ground crews have been working overtime to make ice-covered campus sidewalks safe, but slick surfaces from past snowfalls have kept students on their toes since classes began.
Crews chip in to clear slick walks
An eight-member crew has been working to clear campus walks since New Year's Day, he said. On Jan 9, the crew worked all day and night to prepare the walks for returning students.
"We've got a limited number of people and it just takes a long time," said Jim Mathes, horticultural consultant. "We have snow and ice removal supervisor."
Other facilities operations departments, such as moving and construction, sent employees to help
with the snow removal in the early stages of the operation. Mathes said
"The laboring crews, the ones who do most of the snow shoveling, will stay with it until all the ice is gone," he said.
FACILITIES OPERATIONS grounds crews usually start removing the snow at 5:30 a.m. or 6 a.m. Mathes said.
They try to clear enough snow on the sidewalks to open a path by the start of 7:30 a.m. classes, he said. Crews will clear the rest of the sidewalk after paths have been opened to all parts of campus.
Snow-covered ramps and crosses for the handicapped receive high priority, Mathes said. Other areas given immediate attention include
heavily traveled sidewalks, such as those along Jayhawk Boulevard and between Summerfield and Haworth leads to Wescoe Hall.
Fluctuating temperatures after a snowfall hinder the work of the grounds crew, Mathes said. While the sun is shining, snow and ice melt and water runs across the sidewalk. The water freezes again at night as the ground sheds its covering walks that might have been cleared the day before with ice.
Grounds crews avoid using chemicals and salt to melt the ice, he said. The salt gets into the soil, damaging trees, shrubs and lawns. Because the soil is hard to move away, old soil sometimes must be removed and new soil brought in.
Assistant activities director to leave for post in Arizona

Art Farmer, the assistant director of the Organizations and Activities Center and coordinator of Greek programs, will leave the University of Kansas tomorrow. He has been the center's assistant director since 1981.
Farmer, 31, said yesterday that he was leaving to become the assistant dean of students at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Ariz. He will start work the first week of February.
"It was the first job that I applied for away from KU," he said. "It looked like a good move for me professionally."
The move also will offer Farmer and his family a nice change of scenery.
"It's beautiful down there, and we have never lived outside of Kansas," he said.
BEFORE AUGUST 1984, Farmer served as the adviser to the Interfraternity Council. Scott Hartman replaced Farmer last semester as the adviser, and Farmer became the coordinator of Greek programs.
"The thing that I will miss most is working with the students here," he said. "I'll really miss the relationships that I have built with them."
Ann Eversole, director of the Organizations and Activities Center, said that no replacement had been chosen for Farmer. She said that the new job would require re-evaluate itself and that a job description would have to be approved.
"We're going to miss Art a great deal," Eversole said. "He has been a very fine director."
