    A University of North Texas facilities work crew in the Clark Hall courtyard had let a backhoe rip on July 10. The crew was working to replace sanitary waste pipe serving the dorm in time for students to return to campus.

    Carl Parsons, a mechanical engineer at UNT who was supervising the project, said the backhoe was moving dirt to dig a trench to get to the 6-inch pipe they were replacing. Other crew members were digging by hand, Parsons said, to protect the roots of the large trees in the courtyard.
