This is not the case," said Robert Janiskee, a USC geography professor, in a letter to The State newspaper* The USC ciimate station near Bates House is one of almost 12,000 substations that contribute to the mapping of the national weather. The station consists of three instruments that measure the minimum and maximum daily temperatures, in addition to a continuous trace of daily temperatures and relative humidity. These records, which are meticulously maintained, Janiskee said, are submitted monthly to the National Climate Center . in AsheviUe for publication. ?> ?=? 1800 Blanding Streel Tuesday 9-1! 9PM-2flM FREE I 1 BEER 1 I SOFTDRINKS 1 DONATION: $5.?

Center Great experience for bt ial, professor says The geography department took on this responsibility in 1954 when the U.S. Weather Bureau moved to the airport and temperature data was no longer available for Columbia. Since then the department has maintained and financed the station "by carving it out of the department's budget," Janiskee said. i According to Julian Minghi, chairman nf the ?MMtAnhv It $2,600 a year to maintain the weather station. This does not include the cost of instruments* Janiskee said he believes this cost is sufficient and does not want to see it increase disproportionately to its service. The station was awarded a commendation for 25 years of service from the National Weather service in 1979. The station provided information to farmers, engineers, contractors, the university and even a car accident victim. "The geography department donates the station as a public service. It's part of our mission. We feel like we've benefited although there's been logistical problems," Janiskee said. s^SFHT m | | The GAMECOCK is the st-'lcti! ntm| ! paper of (he University of South CiroUn i and is published three times -reek of _____ I Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays dun lUMBMtl ">e *n<' Hiring semesters and ] WnWll weekly on Wednesdays during both sumI jHUil mer sessions, with the exception of uni! hi',,:-- HI verslty holidays and examination periods, i !
