Rice Eaten By The Ton 60 Pounds Used Daily Students Uphold Reputation Of South In This Respect Consuming approximately 12,600 pounds, or 1,512 bushels of rice during the school year the students of the University are doing their part to uphold the age-old tradition or characteristic of South Carolinians; that is, being great rice caters. . At the rate of 50 pounds a day, 350 pouhds of this staple food is devoured in a week, 1,400 pounds in one month, or 12,600 pounds or nearly six and a third tons during the course of the nine months school term. Looking at the consumption of rice fjrom another angle we find that 50 pounds of this particular grain when cooked occupies practically six bushels. At the rate of six bushels per day the students eat 42 bushels a week, 168 bushels per month, or 1,512 bushels in nine months. These figures do not include the entire student body because a number of the students, both men and women, do not board at the three cafeterias from which these figures were secured.

Kohn \ 1526 MAIN STREET ' Whaley Runs Water Plant Has Complete Charge Former Graduate Is Operator Of New Water Plant In Eau Claire "Everything from janitor to chemical mixer" is the unusual position held " by a recent University graduate. Entirely in charge since its completion last April, Baynard R. Whaley does all the work in the new 500,000 gallon water plant which supplies Eau Claire and Arden on the outskirts of Columbia. The day's daily grind doesn't become monotonous to this former student. A visit to his place of operations might find him in the midst of sweeping up, inspecting the settling basin, br ' preparing chemicals; The two story building is enclosed by a fence six feet high and within I its wires there is also a gleaming I ' aluminum painted water tank. From the river pumping station the water comes jetting in a muddy, tur- [ bulent stream. Chlorinization, coagulation, and filter action then takes place & within the plant and the water passes finto the settling basin. All these pro- r cesses are looked to by Whaley. r fij While in school Whaley was a mem- fj ber of the German club, the LeConte Scientific society, business manager of | the Gamecock, and active in a numbed '> of other campus' organizations. He graduated high scholastically?cum laude. I n The fact that Baynard achieved this $ position since his graduation in the K \ class of '33 attests his ability. Water for several thousand homes in p Eau Claire and Arden is furnished, ft All purification processes are the same , as those in Columbia and all are per- Iformed by this ex-student. i z-"'8'*0,? | is spent in this way. ' If the number of cigarettes smoked f in a year were placed end-on-end they r would reach 239 miles?nearly as far j as from Columbia to Durham, N. C. Incidentally, Durham is where much .f! of the tobacco comes from. Officers, faculty members and em- ! ployes of th? University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) are now being paid an additional 3% per cent of their ! salaries to compensate them for cuts taken last year. ? p l" ; Business Training is Essential to Everyone, Particularly College Men and Women.
