Bit by bit, year after year, the buildings and grounds department is leveling the KU campus. They do this by cutting small chunks off of protruding areas, loading them in a truck, carting them off to depressed areas and dumping them.
They Cut Off The Hill
There is no need to get alarmed, though. They aren't defacing the picturesque ups and downs of the campus. Like buildings and grounds employee Joe Ramirez, they are cutting the grass.
Each time the grass is cut, the clippings are gathered and hauled off to the unused southwest section of the campus where the ground is gullied. The clippings and excess dirt are used as "fill" for the gullies, so the area will be prepared for the time when the University expands in that direction.
One to two truck loads of cut grass is gathered every time Mt. Oread is mowed, Harold E. Blitch, landscape former for the buildings and grounds department, said. When the fields surrounding the campus are mowed, up to 10 truck loads are collected.
IFC Passes Rush Rule
Inter-fraternity Council members in a final meeting Monday night, approved an amendment to rush week rules whereby a preference list system will be introduced next fall for a more efficient rushing procedure.
The amendment provides that at the end of each day during rush week, each house must prepare a list of the men who visited their house that day whom they would like to talk to again.
In other action, IFC representatives were instructed to turn in application forms for counselors during rush week.
Under this rule once a rushee has visited a house, he may not return there again unless he has been included on the house's list of preferred rushees.
No action was taken to ratify the constitution of the recently created Big Eight Inter-fraternity Council.

An opportunity to spend a week in April in San Juan. Puerto Rico listening to the world famous cellist, Pablo Casals, was too much for Marianne Marshall, Topeka sophomore. She skipped classes for two weeks.
KU Cellist Attends Casals Festival
With the proper permission from the fine arts office. Miss Marshall was given a leave of absence to attend the famous Cassal Festival on condition that she make up all work missed.
Miss Marshall, a cellist herself, was able to attend four concerts, two of which featured Mr. Casals. The festival also features an orchestra composed of many of the finest artists in the world, who came from all countries to participate in the annual event.
Meeting Mr. Casals himself was one of Miss Marshall's biggest thrills, she said. Through an acquaintance in San Juan who was a former student of his, she was able to be introduced to Casals after a performance.
At 82, Mr. Casals still exhibits and "amazing facility of finger control," she said, adding that he still achieves perfection in his playing.
She Met Mr. Casals
"There seems to be a quality in his work which is impossible to express in words," she said, "I loved it."
Mr. Casals, though considered by many as the world's finest cellist, is still very humble and one can notice that he is nervous while

Your dollars keep Radio Free Europe on the air, keep its 29 super-powered transmitters at work, overpowering "jamming" from Red stations, stashing through Red ties, renewing hope that freedom will some day return behind the Iron Curtain.
