If You Hate To Rake Leaves, Leaf Mill Will Stop Misery
If you hate to rake leaves, then get yourself a leaf mill. The department of building and grounds has three of these handy machines to do a big job once a year here on the campus.
Yesterday, until the snow made the leaves too damp to work with, these machines could be seen in operation chewing them up and snitting them out.

Senate Amends Committee Rule
The University Senate has amended its code to provide for quick handling of requests for exceptions to Senate rules.
Fan blades suck them up through a series of whirling ratchet wheels that pulverize them. The ground leaves are then blown out onto the ground where they can easily sift down into the grass increasing the moisture holding capacity of the soil.
The Senate advisory committee now can act when the Senate is not in session. The committee will then report such actions at the next Senate meeting.
Although no limitation was placed upon advisory committee's authority, the amendment was introduced primarily to permit better handling of hardship cases involving students, particularly at the time of enrollment and graduation.
Memorials were read and adopted for five members who have died since spring. They are Domenico Gagliardo, Leon N. Flint, William Chase Stevens, Robert Taft, and Henry Werner.
