Ground cover near dorms
trimmed to rid area of rats

By PHYLLIS HENDERSON
Battalion Staff
Dorms 1 through 12 won’t be
described as “ratty” anymore if
the Grounds Maintenance De
partment has anything to do with
it.
Those dorms were cited as hav
ing a rat problem in a Student Sen
ate bill authored last month by
Laura Furr, senator from Spence/
Briggs/Underwood, and Tracy
Cox, graduate business senator.
“Rats come up from the steam
tunnel, ” Furr said. “Last year, we
had one come into the hall.”
She added: “Stray cats are start
ing to hang around our dorm.”
Furr said the ground cover
around the dorms created a nest
ing place for the rats, and the bill
called for the Grounds Mainte
nance Department to clear away
this ground cover.
“We have a lot of ivy, especially
when it rains,” Furr said.
Eugene H. Ray, director of the
department, agreed that the
ground cover causes a problem in
the dorm area. “Any time you
have any type of vegetation,” he
said, “it’s going to afford a haven
for creatures.
“We have taken the ground
cover down to a level which won’t
offer a refuge to the rodents.”
Ray said the department would
try to keep the ivy and other
ground cover cut to four inches
around Dorms 1, 2 and 3.
“We’ve not been advised that
there’s a problem in the rest of the
Corps dorm area,” he said.
“If we take away all the vegeta
tion ... we have a problem with
aesthetics,” he said. “We’re going
