WORRY MAINTENANCE DEPT. SMOOTH UNIVERSITY STEPS

To smooth the path to the Dean's office, workmen will be pounding away at the steps of University Hall with bush hammers for the next few days. The surface of the slippery steps, which has been the cause of a flying tumble for many is being chopped into little ridges.

Worn smooth by passing feet since the building was erected in 1811, the steps became dangerous when covered with ice last year. Maintenance officials decided to refurbish the stairs when one of the professors slipped on the path to knowledge.
