College  Benefitted  By  C WA 

•  MORE  t h an  $75,000  will  be  spent  on  improvements  to  the 
Campus  and  other  Michigan  State  college  property,  all  of 
which  must  be  completed  before  February  15.  The  work  is 
being  financed  by  the  United  States  government  through  t he 
CWA  program,  with  the  College  participating  to  t he  extent 
of  about  $7,000  for  materials. 

Work  is  being  done  how  which  normally  would  have  r e 
mained  undone  for  years  because  of  t he  limited  budget  under 
which  the  College  is  operating.  The  usual  crew  of  buildings

The  n a t u re  of  the  work,  which  is  under  the  direction  of

spent

being  planted  and  moved.  Road  and  surface  drains  are  being 
laid,  and  temporary  cinder  p a t hs  are  being  built  across  t he 
Campus.  Along  t he  Red  Cedar,  the  banks  will  be  landscaped, 
t he  dam  will  be  repaired,  a nd  the  bed  of  t he  river  will  be
