THE MICHIGAN DAILY T Department Takes Care Of Campus By PATRICIA LEFTRIDGE The responsibility for the up- keep of approximately 1400 acres of central campus grounds and an undetermined number of build- ings belongs to the Plant Depart- ment. Besides maintenance of build- ings and grounds, the Plant De- partment forces of nearly 700 are involved in building security, up- keep of University streets, parking lots and parking structures, and transportation. Custodian Service The building service division provides custodian service in all university buildings, excluding those of University Hospital. The hospital does use some plant de- partment employes for repair and maintenance. The number of buildings servic- ed by the department are estimat- ed at well over 200. Maintenance and repair of residence halls is the responsibility of the 'service enterprises, and the Plant Depart- ment provides service to them only when asked. Existing buildings, rather than the new construction are the concern of the depart- ment. The plant division also main- tains a motor pool, which provides campus groups with cars for field trips, buses to north campus and bus transportation for athletic teams. Repairs Equipment The Plant Department repairs its own equipment including motor vehicles, heavy earth movers, lawn equipment and power mowers. Although plant personnel have major jobs to do each year such as the recent replacement of hot and cold water systems and toilet facilities in the University Museum these are but a small part of the total operations. A majority of time is spent on such things as repairing leaks, furniture, lights and making research equipment. The Plant Department cooper- ates with the City of Ann Arbor on many activities which affect them both. Manager of the department is Alfred B. Ueker. Carlton G. Alex- ander is administrative assistant. Main offices, shops and storage space are located at 326 E. Hoover. SAM'S STORE HAS GENUINE LEVI'S GALORE!

It is rare in America that a law student can have his living quar- ters, eating facilities, research ma- terials and classrooms all in the same block. Add to this lounging and laundry and recreational fa- cilities and an atmosphere of ma- jestic serenity, and you have the University's law quadrangle. "We even have our own tailor shop, supply store, and book store," a law student relaxing on the steps of the Legal Research Library on a warm afternoon com- mented recently. Law Community "It's a community in itself," he continued, "self-administered, self- run, with one interest-studying law.' The matter that a law student living in the law quad need never venture outside of it has a dan- ger: a resident's experience might become too narrow, if he lets it." But the advantages far outnum- ber this possible disadvantage. The necessities of life can be easily taken care of, leaving maximum time and effort for the study o law; the atmosphere is intellectual and conducive to study; law stu- dents can get to know each other well and can discuss mutual inter- ests and legal problems,. Ten-Acre Tract The quadrangle, located south of central campus, is situated on a ten-acre tract and includes sev- eral units constructed at different times between 1924 and 1933. The Lawyers' Club and the John P. Cook Building, named in honor of the father of the donor, con- TABLES AND BOOKS-The Legal Research Library, situ In the Law Quadrangle, offers the student and researcher unexcelled facility for research and study. The reading r accommodates 500 students with additional study rooms research work. tain residence accommodations for 350 students. There are also ac- commodations for visitors-who range from friends to parents to practicing lawyers. Students rate the law quadrangle much nicer than the other dorms becauseen- trances serve a limit of 16 rooms and because it is more homey. Many of the suites have fireplaces, for example. There is much pri- vacy and discretionary freedom. "The environment inclines you to study," a law student comment- ed. "The students are mature and serious and they work almost the time, and this keeps you the ball." Social Affairs Law quadrangle residents have social affairs-two dance year and exchange dinners-: have the opportunity to take i in University athletics-the qu rangle has teams taking part the intramural program. The Legal Research build contains a reading room that commodates about 500 stude as well as study rooms for resea work and carrels in the stacks advanced specialists.
