He shook his head and muttered: "It's pretty good paint." This writer, always on the search for feature, material had noticed the toiler in his perspiring endeavors and was watching him carefully. After all, this was an other phase of Clean-up, Paint up, Fix-up Week. THE WORKER had quite a technique. First he would saturate the sign and about forty square feet around it with gasoline. Then, standing away at a safe distance, he would deftly flip a blazing match onto the awaiting liquid. As the flames died down he would pick up his metal scraper and at tempt to remove the weakened paint. The final step included the rubbing-out process with a section of gunny-sack. If this complicated process didn't work the first time, the begrimed laborer would pick up his con venient gasoline can and start the process all over again. Sensing the great potential news value in such goings on, this re porter was quick to grasp the opportunity for an interview.

The coarser the cement the deeper the paint goes. Now over at Ellen Smith, I worked twenty minutes and it didn't do no good.' As to the method of applica tion, he mused, "Looks like a brush to me. Yep, must have been a brush 'cept these letters above the skull. They were probably stenciled." HE THEN EXPLAINED how he had been hired to work on his "spring project" all over campus. It took him an average of twenty minutes for each sign. When asked, "Doesn't that take quite a while?" he snapped, "Hell, at a dollar-ten an hour, who cares!"
