He said that because of budget problems, the work cannot be done im mediately, but promised that a 30-yard dumpster would be used to haul the garbage away within the month. The garbage in the dump, he stated, was all left on the campus grounds by outsiders. Because it could not be put in ordinary garbage containers, it had to be "stored" in the dump. Increased security has significantly reduced the amount of dumping by outsiders in past month he added; he does not anticipate any further garbage problem. Nick Lentner, College Pur chasing Agent, also disclosed Friday, that a new garbage removal contract had been HEALTHSERUI[I signed.
