Wallace Martin, USC director or development, also spoke dur ng the Coffee Club program. He lescribed the aims and function )f the Greater University Fund, :he campaign for private financial iupport, through which the uni .,ersity expects to obtain grad iate fellowships, undergraduate ;cholarships. professorships and ihrary resources. Dr. Sumwalt emphasized the conomiic value of the university J) Columbia. Using estimates in some instances, he totaled the iniversity's annual contribution o the city's economy at $16,250, )00, spent this way: Annual payroll, $3,600,000; foot >all f a n s , $700,000; visiting lumni, $50,000; visiting parents, 500,000; fraternities and sorori :ies, $125,000; persons attending .vorkshops and similar activities, P25,000; students (food, clothing, mtertainment, and so on), $5,000 )00; various vendors (printers, of fice suppliers, and so on), $3,000, 000; food supplies, $750,000; and a v e r a g e annual construction (1961-65), $2,500,000. "From the figures, it is obvious that Carolina is the city's largest industry and the second largest in 'he county," Dr. Sumwalt said. "We can't put a dollar value on he contributions our employes make to the city through their .ivic and church work and other Ictivities. "We can't tell you what it is xorth to Columbia to have about 10 per cent of all the 798 school :eachers holding at least one de xree from Carolina-308 degrees. "There is no way to determine wvhat it is worth to Columbia to nave our Artists Series in the :ity, or the lecture programs, or :he opportunities for continuing ducation on the part of your em )loyes and yourselves." Dr. Sumwalt illustrated many >f his points with slides, including ~onstruction in progress. Buildings sow being erected at the univer sity are a $500,000 addition to the College of Engineering; Life Sci mnces Building, $820,000; a 10. story women's residence hall, P2,260,000; another dual "veil )lock" m e n ' s residence unit, p1,250,000; a 60-apartment unit for' married students, $540,000; and a building to house a neutron generatort for nuclear studies, P72,000. lie said plans are being comn leted for a $270,000 addition to Currell College which houses the D)epartment of History. Also in the "'between now and sext spring" schedule for begin ring construction are a physics building, $800,000; physical educa Lion building, $800,000; infirmary, P350,000; addition to Russell House (student union), $1,200,000; and $650,000 for replacement of steam lines and renovation of ex sting buildings. Dr. Sumwalt said the univer sity's long-range plans call for a building to house the School of Journalism, another f o r the School of Nursing, additional resi lence facilities for men and for women, a general classroom build ing, and an addition to the School sf Law. "Most important to you is the fact that Columbia architects, contractors, suppliers and labor benefit from this construction pro gram," Dr. Sumwalt said. "Therefore, it is obvious that the millions the university spends on construction remains here to boost the economy of the Capital City."
