Campus landscape improved
BY AMIE JOHNSON
One of the most striking
features of TSU is its spacious
120 acre campus, but even
more appealing is the ap-
pearance of this campus, and
all the hard work that goes into
it.
The TSU grounds depart-
ment has worked hard the past
year, landscaping the entire
campus.
One of the most superb jobs
is that of the football field This
year there will be a elec-
tronic scoreboard, Also, at the
north end of the field, there is a
berm, (a man-made hill) with
"Texans" written in it, with
black volcanic rock and white
marble. Purple and white
flowers will surround the
berm. In the future, ivy will
surround the fence around the
trsck
It takes a lot of work to keep
this campus up.
Ray Smith, who is assistant
to the grounds crew, said he
and Mark Woosley head of the
grounds crew, plan all the
work, the designs, type of land-
scaping, and such.
The actual beauty of the
campus is the work of eight
students, which is not even a
full crew. Smith said "these
students work hard and
deserve the recognition for it.
This has been the best crew
ever."
The grounds crew consists
also of four foremen: Billy
Freed, B.J. Bishop, Ronnie
Slemmons, and C.C. Gilly. The
eight students are Dana
Naumann, Tan Flippin, Wayne
Livingston, Scott Whitaker,
Joe Spotts, Berry Carptner,
Randy Reeves, and Debbie
Mahan.
Smith also said "students
need to respect property. After
all, this is their home
