Professionals set college guidelines Maintenance manual defines landscaping By Scott Starnes Of The Print There should be no more excuses concerning the College's landscape maintenance and de velopment situation with the acceptance of the new campus maintenance manual, said Andy Rice, College landscape architect. Rice developed the campus maintenance manual; after some students questioned the land scape practices at the College. "It took quite awhile to com pile all the material necessary for the manual," Ed Hartman, college grounds supervisor, said. Norm Goetze, an agronomist from Oregon State University, helped to formulate the man ual along with myself in an effort to establish a systematic and structured maintenance for mat that the College's grounds crew could use as a guideline, Rice said. "As far as I know, we're the first College to apply this idea of a maintenance manual," Hartman said. The campus maintenance manual explains thoroughly and systematically such technical cri teria as fertilization, pruning, mulching, soil preparation for new planting and turf manage ment which Norm helped on, Rice said. After extensive research with Clackamas county agents in such areas as forestry and wood lot production, crops, and weeds, vegetables along wigh both Wash ington and Oregon state high way departments, the manual should provide "direction and policy," Rice said. The manual has been " researched pretty thoroughly." Rice said maintenance employed at bout a month that the campus manual has been the College for a- and a half. meaning that jobs are figured proportionately as to how many days a single man would take to complete a given job. "Andy and I collaborated on the schedule," Hartman said. The grounds crew has been separated into three categories in which each groundsperson is assigned a special category where his knowledge is best applied, Hartman said. "We expect a fourth person to be added dur ing this month, he said. Inside the manual, each super visor in each specific category is responsible for making sure his area is covered and well maintained. These people must be pretty knowledgeable about their category, Hartman said. "There should be no excuses for not getting things done now," Rice said. According to Hartman, his crew is meeting the demands presented by Rice in the main tenance manual. "Rick Fargher has received his Commerical Applicator's cer tification from the state. Before any maintenance man can apply chemicals, insecticides or pesti cides to a commercial establish ment, he or she must be licensed through the state," Hartman said. Hartman said that he expects the entire College's grounds crew to become certified in the use of pesticides over a period of a year. "We're going to have a damn good crew,” he said. Presently, the College is und ergoingspecial tree maintenance. Hartman said. "We had a professional tie consultant examine the trees on side Randall Hall and he fouq that they were slowly dyini This is the reason for the ¡¡ta white bottles implanted with! the tree trunks," Hartman sail "Dave Halstead, who is tlfeU surgeon consultant for the stat capitol grounds and is current» working on the trees, coi & m the College to be a preferra customer. He takes a great ■ of interest in the CollegB said. ■ "As the maintenance i^H is used we will be able to M areas in need of revision! al work from that Point, "H said. "Its structure is very ion and pinpoints responsibility "It's too soon to tell whether the manual has been a success or not but the only way of know ing is by trial and error," he said. Hartman said that the manual operates on a man-day basis, Stricter rules set for grants Joseph A. Califano, Health, Education, and Welfare secre tary, cautioned students to sup ply complete and accurate in formation when applying for Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) for postsecond ary education. Califano said every grant application is now being com puter screened before processing and those with incomplete or questionable data are being re turned to students for cor- restion. Corrected applications will undergo further checking. Under the Administration's 1979 budget, the program would be expanded to include an ad ditional 3 million students, many of them from middle-income families. The maximum grant would increase from the $1,600 maximum available to students in the 1978-79 academic year to $1,800 in the following year. Children of families with annual incomes of $16,000 to $25,000 would be eligible for a Basic Grant of $250. campus are being intravenously with Mauget Stemix, a multi-nutrient to induce feeder root growth and to activate and encourage! health of the tree.
