                       NEWS ADVISORY:
           "HIGH ON PRIDE" CAMPUS CLEANUP IS SATURDAY

     Some 2,000 Ohio State University students, faculty and staff 
will join neighborhood residents in the fifth "High on Pride" 
University Community Cleanup on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 
12 p.m.  Volunteers will pick up litter, remove bulk trash, sweep 
streets and sidewalks, and collect recyclables in the 
neighborhood just east of campus. 	The area covers some 250 city 
blocks with 30 miles of sidewalk and more than 65 miles of 
roadway.  The north boundary is Lane Avenue, the south is Ninth 
Avenue and the east is the Conrail tracks.  The western boundary 
is North High street and the Ohio State campus.

     Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee will arrive around 9:30 
a.m. to ride a streetsweeper that will clean out the 16th Avenue 
cul-de-sac.  He will then speak with participants at the 
registration area at the Wexner Center plaza at 15th Avenue and 
High Street, and start in the cleanup at 10 a.m.

     All volunteers will receive free T-shirts and will be served 
coffee, juice, donuts, fresh fruits and soft drinks. Radio 
station CD101 will broadcast from the plaza area all morning, 
providing music and public address announcements.

     For further information, call Tracy Turner in the Office of 
University Communications, 688-3682.  For assistance in covering 
the Cleanup, stop by the registration tables at the Wexner plaza 
between 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday.
