Flowers All Year Round
The botanical gardens found in the greenhouses behind Flint Hall are a sight of beauty in the colorless winter grayness. The cut flowers are used to brighten offices. The greenhouses are maintained by Buildings and Grounds and are used by the biology and entomology departments.
Greenhouses glimpse tropical conservatory
Want to visit a "jungle" but you do not happen to have any money? The tropical conservatory, behind Flint Hall, features tropical and semi-tropical plants alien to Kansas.
The greenhouses and conservatory are maintained by the building and grounds department. Harold E. Blitch, grounds supervisor, said many departments use the University greenhouses. The biology and entomology departments use the greenhouses for growing research specimens and art students can be seen sketching the plants in the greenhouses of the conservatory.

The building and grounds department uses the greenhouses for growing nursery and bedding plants and potted plants used to decorate offices.
A KU coed, proceeding north on Louisiana Street, watching for other vehicles and pedestrians, was confronted with another driving hazard Tuesday night—fire.
Fiery prank startles coed
The fire, at the intersection of 13th and Louisiana, was caused by the ignition of gasoline poured over the intersection. Lawrence police said.
The coed said the street "just exploded into flames in front of me."
Police officers, however, did not seem worried about the incident. Three patrol cars were sent to the scene. The officers watched the fire burn itself out and then left.
