HEATING PLANT
IS ECONOMICAL
Hog Fuel Generates Steam
for Radiators
CONVEYOR IS EFFICIENT
Warming Varsity Costs $35
for Eighteen Hours
Prom the supervisor of the Uni
versity heating plant comes an ex
planation of the whys and where
fores of the “hog fuel” system re
cently installed in the new heating
plant.
The term “hog fuel” carries with
it no allusion to the common porker.
“Hog fuel” is a mixture of saw
dust and slabwood, the latter being
splintered into bits by a machine
constructed for that purpose.
The hog fuel used by the Univer
sity heating plant conies from the
sawmills in Springfield, in hog fuel
cars—similar to uncovered boxcars.
One carload of the fuel costs about
$35.00 and will heat the University
for 18 hours. *
Observant students have probably
noticed a huge pile of sawdust be
hind the heating plant. This is hog
fuel being stored for future use.
Over this pile runs a substantial
conveyor which takes the sawdust
from the cars and by means of an
endless chain takes it into the fur
naces as needed.
Fuel from Springfield
The heating plant is really noth
ing but a steam factory. For 24
hours a dap the sawdust is fed
automatically into the three fur
naces of the plant. The steam, gen
erated at 100-125 pounds, is re
duced to 15 pounds pressure for the
steam mains about the campus. In
buildings the pressure is reduced to
five pounds to keep from blowing
out the radiators.
In times past, students have
wondered at streaks on the campus
where grass for no apparent reason,
stubbornly refused to grow. This is
due to escaping steam from the
mains.
These steam mains are covered
with asbestos. So efficient is this
insulation that only two or
three per cent of the heat is lost
from the plant to the music build
ing. The steam travels about 200
or 300 feet per second.
Big Saving Effected
This new hog fuel system, while
requiring an initial outlay of
$15,000, offers a great saving as com
pared with the old system of burn
ing cord wood. When based on the
cost per cord, the hog fuel is but
a third as expensive.
In winter, the plant runs full
blast to heat the University. With
the construction of new buildings
on the campus, additional boilers
will be required to provide sufficient
heat. The plant is large enough
to accommodate boilers of twice the
present capacity.

Inter-cleis System Desirable
A policy of developing varsity
material through inter-class athletics
under the direction and coaching of
the athletic department was favor
ed, because such a policy would ex
pend to every man in the student
body an equal opportunity to parti
cipate. Moreover, an inter-class
program could even be made to em
brace football, and it could also be
limited to include only those sports
participated in by varsity teams, or
it could be handled in any otlier
manner approved of by the athletic
department. However, the inter
fraternity council is by no means
dictatorial in its proposal of inter
class athletics, but merely suggests
it as an alternative scheme.
(This explanation was authorized
i by the president of the inter-frater
nity council through the inter-fra
iternity athletic committee).

j effect, according to word from Dean |
Colin V. Dyment, of the college of
literature, science and thei arts, who
is at Carmel. Dean Dyment left

a great deal of rest and sleep.
In a recent letter to campus
friends he describes the Moj^terey

for the Universitiy and his friends,
he should be tempted to stay there
indefinitely. At his present rate,

The dean is eager for news of the 1
University, according to his letter, j
and among his recjuests he asks that i
