THE BATTALION
Part-Time Trashman
(Continued from page 1)
of sticks and presenting them to
people such as College Station
Mayor D. A. (Andy) Anderson
and other members of the Beau-
tiifcation Committee.
“I need all the help I can get,”
the civic-minded A&M professor
emphasizes.
“Everybody seems to think
that ‘they’ should pick up all the
trash, or, still better, not discard
it in the first place,” he reminds.
“The ‘they’ is ‘we’.”
Dr. Hawkins is particularly
concerned about College Station
being exceptionally clean and
neat because the university at
tracts so many visitors—persons
attending m e e t in g s , athletic
events, visiting students or sim
ply touring the campus.
“The university prides itself on
its well-kept grounds and facili
ties and gets many compliments
for its efforts,” Hawkins ob
serves, “so we want the commun
ity to be equally attractive.”
The university, he adds, has a
long-range landscape architecture
program in progress. Recently
the institution opened an elabo
rate test garden featuring a wide
variety of flowers for each par
ticular season.
So far, Dr. Hawkins’ one-man
litter-picking project is a suc
cess. He has received few raised
eyebrows (not too many people
are out roaming around so early
in the morning) but lots of barks
from dogs.
From all indications, Dr. Haw
kins has a congenial trashman
(full-time type) who comes by
twice a week. The fellow hasn’t
said anything, but he must think
Hawkins, with all his overloaded
trash cans, is the messiest man
in town.
