Pip es Divide Campus
The giant concrete pipes now decorating the UM campus are to be installed as the first phase of a storm sewer plan.
The 1150 feet of the 33-inch diameter pipes will service the area surrounding the J. Neville McArthur Engineering Building, the Ashe Building, and Otto G. Richter Library Building.
The drainage plan was worked nut by architect Robert M. Little and is contracted to the Troup Brothers Co. The job is scheduled to be completed within two or three weeks.
Students will have to allow a few extra minutes to get to classes because of the detours around ditches and machinery.
One student complained, "There 1 was, hurrying to class and minding my own business, when all of a sudden somebody dug a 20 foot deep ditch right in front of me. What nerve!”

other student remarked.
