"Recent rains have left the
fields solf, and tire trucks
make ruts which may require
filling," Custronts said. "Stu
dents are asked to park on the
street, in the area provided,
rather than driving onto the
fields.
"Junior high officials want
the college to use the field, but
ask them to cooperate tn park
ing,” said Castronis.
Trash on the field is another
problem which Junior high of-
flcals have asked University
students to cooperate in reliev
ing. When the fields are left
littered the school must send
one of its janitors to clean
them.
University students may use
the Junior high facilities any
