They were accompanied by Asso Sciate Professor J. M. Plaxco, Jr. In July, Dean Morrison attended the annual seminar of the Amer ican Association of Colleges of Pharmacy at the University of Texas in Austin. ,i MokSTS S whtil tE isAMR.CUCK tack USC By Melba Corley Feature Editor Carolina students walking to classes have been repeatedly at tacked by jets several times in the past week. The subversive machines have shown up on campus several different times and each arrival has been early enough to catch scores of students as they hasten to morning classes. These attacks sound incredible. But they have been witnessed by many and scoree have fallen victim to their punishment. Twelve metallic jets have caught students in cross-fires and "shot" them unmercifully as they dodged and ducked in an effort to defend themselves from their pursuers. Injuries Light Injuries to date have been light, thanks to the alacrity of the stu dents. Most damages have been loss of reservation and injured dignities. The jets have piqued the anger of some persons, but the majority of students would probably say that the beauty which is derived from the work and "shootings" of these jets more than compensates for the damages that have been inflicted. The jets are Buckner Rocker Jets, a type of water sprinkler which has been spurting thousands of gallons of water several times a week to feed the thirsty grasses on the horseshoe according to Ed ward M. Henderson, chief engineer of the buildings and grounds at Carolina. Pipes Underground An underground system of 2,000 feet of pipe has been installed in the horseshoe to expedite the watering process. Forty-eight outlets have been set up in which to screw the jet heads or sprin klers. There are 12 outlets to a line and only one of the four lines can operate at a time. The four lines were installed to water efficiently 20,000 square feet of grass on the Attention .. .

Only 10 minutes are re quired to set up each line or section that would ordinarily take about an hour and a half daily to get an equal amount of equip ment on the lawn and into opera tion. The new sprinkler system more than pays for the manpower costs of watering the grasses according to Henderson. Large Capacity A Buckner Rocker Jet is capable of shooting out 21 gallons of water per minute at 79 pounds of pres sure, but the majority of sprin klers on the horseshoe spray from 12 to 19 gallons of water per min ute. Watering is required about three times a week depending on weather conditions. And for the convenience of workers on the gardening detail, spraying is done in the mornings instead of late afternoons. (These hours somehow manage to coincide with the hours when students are scurrying to meet classes.) Henderson admitted that even the gardeners sometimes were caught in the midst of the operat ing sprinklers. And he passed along this bit of advice to students: "Just don't walk where they are skeeting." Henderson's skeeting water sprinklers are essential to keep the many different kinds of grasses on the horseshoe alive, however. Native Bermuda Grows The native Bermuda is a sun light grass and is found in the middle section of the horseshoe. L. O. CAUGHMAN'S SERVICENTER Sumter and Pendleton Streets CX)IUMBIA, S. C.
