NO, NOT THE PIPES OF PAN	Even though it is the vernal season, when the mythological
BUT OF NEW STORM SEWER	pipes of Pan are said to cause mere mortals to gambol like
Olympians, those big concrete pipes you see adding an outer space look to part of Main Campus have nothing to do with the cloven-footed Greek god.
All 1150 feet of the 33~inch diameter units are to be installed as the first phase of the master storm sewer plan worked out by Architect Robert M. Little. They will serve the areas surrounding the J. Neville McArthur Engineering building, the Ashe building and the Otto G. Richter Library. The job, contracted to Troup Brothers, will be completed in two or three weeks.
