Page 2, Retriever, 20 October 1975 Nearly Green, Not Quite Clean CODlDlent A .Board of Regents member once remarked to a UMBC student, "Well, you should be gettmg something out of your stay there, you've got $57 million worth of buildings". For Robert Burchard of the Biology department, that would be enough if certain ad­ justments were made. Last January, former RETRIEVER Editor-in Chief Charles Lean was sent a memo from Associate Professor Burchard decrying the unsightly condition of the windowsills and grounds at UMBC. The pigeon droppings were dripping from the sills, the memo said, and Drop-outs, the grass was trampled and cluttered with litter. The same memo was delivered to the administration. Ten days ago, another communique from the same professor explained that still nothing had been done about the condition of the place. The note suggests the possibility of a "Save­ Stop-outs our Grass" type campaign and proposes a solution to the pigeon problem. As long as we're taling about reversing the attrition rate, we may as well get UMBC cleaned up too. While the RETRIEVER can do little about the pigeon droppings, we can and Cop-outs urge students to have some respect for that fragile grass. This though, only if something is done about those door handles on the Chern-Physics building which are caked with the unsanitary droppings after a long weekend of pi~eon fun. A few years back, when litterbugs were still trashing the nations highways, people were Several weeks ago, Reginald Lawrence, the Director of Minority Recruiting at UMBC urged to honk their car horns at bugs spotted doing their thing.

Corps is now on a $6000 budget; they will be working more closely with the campus police, and both their duties and working hours have been expanded. In the past, the Marshall Corps primary duties have been the coverage of special campus events, such as mixers and con­ certs. Such events included admission control, enforcing eating, drinking, and smoking regulations, providing directions, and crowd control. Crowd control means breaking up fights or evicting disorderly people. Their expanded duties include all previous ones, plus others. The Fine Arts building is open at night, so the Marshalls provde security; they make sure that no one spends the night in the building, steals anything from it, or breaks anything. If Marshalls are available, the Corps provides escorts from buildings at night. They work as dispatchers and patrol parking lots to make sure no one is breaking into or stealing cars.

"Speeding is another big problem, especially around Loop Road." Nielsen said the officers are starting very slowly, and they have been urged to refrain from issuing a summons if there is dQubt about the violation.
