Boilers in the University's cen tral heating plant were converted to using gas about 12 years ago. They were previously fired by coal. At the time of the change to gas, the University provided for emergency conversion to oil firing. The partial conversion to oil (luring the recent severe weather involved establishing a schedule of tanker truck deliveries direct to the University where oil storage capacity of the converted boilers is limited to about one day's needs. Size and capacity of Carolina's central heating system is illus trated by the fact that the boilers produce about 72,000 pounds of steam each hour from boiling about 9,000 gallons of water. Heat in the buildings is up to standard levels throughout the campus de spite the low temperatures.
