The University has geared up to
inserve energy in the wake of
Dv. John C. West's proclamation
at all state agencies reduce
isollne consumption and con
rve fuel oil.
Harold Brunton, vice-president
r business affairs, said Tuesday
memorandum was sent Oct. 10 to
SC vice presidents, vice provosts,
ans and department heads
-ging conservation of energy
ipplies.
The memo, which originated
-om Brunton's office, orders
?erators of university vehicles to
rive at 10 miles per hour below the
)sted speed limit.
"The university is attempting to
!duce mileage by 10 pericent and
;ks each department to question
rhether 'this trip is really
ecessary' the memo states.

The possibility of combining
trips with other departments is
also suggested.
"We are setting thermostats in
our various buildings at points
which minimize fuel use," the
memo continues. "Thermostats
will be locked and any problem
should be drawn to the attention of
the physical plant."
The memo says that while not
specifically' requesting, the ad
ministration asks University
personnel to turn off lights when
they leave offices at night.
The memorandum established
an Energy Conservation Program
and named as its head W.S. Tur
beville of the campus main
tainance shop.
In the meantime, W.S. Tur
beville said his office would have in
about 10 days a program of
measures to further increase fuel
conservation.

Turbeville said he had been told
that the university's gasoline
supply had been limited to last
year's amount though the number
of vehicles increased .
Brunton added that the
university has two alternatives if
fuel costs continue to increase.
The first would be to lower tem
peratures further in campus
buildings. The second would be to
increase appropriations for the
necessary fuel supplies.
"If things get worse yet we might
have to turn the temperature in
buildings down to 65 degrees, but I
don't see that happening now," he
said.
. Turbeville said current in
dicators showed no foreseeable
shortage of natural gas needed to
run the university's four energy
acilities which provide steam and
:old water to heat and cool campus
buildings.

The university has a supply of
stand-by fuel oil it can switch to if
the natural gas ran out, he said.
How long the oil would last depends
on the weather, Turbeville said.
"If it comes to that,- we'll be
looking at t1fe possibilities of
closing down some class buildings
and concentrating classes in some
of the larger buildings," he added.
Preliminary efforts to conserve
energy include reduced electricity
consumption, a coordination of
cleaning and maintainance ser
vices and the minimization of plant
lighting, Turbeville said.
Until further measures to
conserve energy could be made
public by his office, Turbeville
said, the Brunton memorandum
would be enough to solicit
cooperation and support from the
university community in working
to conserve energy.
