The fire was lit in one boiler at <5 a.m.. The turbine generators be gan generating power at 10 a.m. The new plant, built at a cost of $1,140,000, has taken over the entire job of heating and supply ing electricity to the campus. The old steam plant will be dismantled to make way for the planned addi tion to the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. The beginning of full operation culminates one and one-half years of work to provide a heating and power plant to replace the steam plant, which is unable to handle the load required for the new Buildings constructed and under construction on the campus. Work Begun In 1939 Work on the new plant, which is located north of the highway next to the physical plant shops, began in November. 1949. Delay in arrival of material postponed beginning of operation. The plant has actually supplied heat and some electricity to the campus for two months, at inter vals to start with, and finally for several hours at a time. It was at last ready to go on a full-time basis Thursday, the switch was thrown, and the new heating and power plant will handle full University needs from now on. Three boilers, each capable of supplying 35,000 pounds of steam per hour, are available for campus heating, and there is space for a fourth boiler. Actually, only one or two boilers will be used nt one time, a third being available for emergencies, I. I. Wright, physical plant superintendent, explained. Oil for Standby The boilers use sawdust and hog fuel, with oil as a standby fuel. The fuel is brought to the plant by truck and can also be brought in by railroad. From the; spot where the fuel is dumped con veyors carry it to the plant or to j the storage area. The storage cap-1 t acity will be 6,000 units. (A unit | is 128 cubic feet.) A conveyor inside the plant car United Students Association Presents Campaign Platform I The United Students Asso'cia tion released its campaign plat-1 form at the ASUO nominating assembly Thursday night. Text of the platform follows: j 1. The USA party shall continue to advocate the elimination of so ■cial barriers in campus activities. The choice of candidates should be only on the bases of the qualifica tions, ability and integrity of in dividuals. 2. The USA party endorses the ASUO Dormitory Report on Fresh man Living at least as a basis on which to build a better and more I workable deferred living structure. 3. The USA party shall actively . seek and support a more liberal activity program for the Fresh man class. 4. The USA party, in order to develop an active interest and greater participation in studentj government among Freshmen, en dorses a constitutional amendment permitting Freshman Class elec tions to be held during fall term. Such an amendment would give the class more time to organize so that they may more fully partici pate in the extracurricular pro gram of the University. Early ad mission of Freshman class officers and representatives to government al bodies would be beneficial to all concerned. 5. The USA party advocates the presentation of a comprehensive and studied plan to the University j Administration for delegation of \ increased responsibilities to stu-1 dents for student affairs. This plan will be based on information ob tained from other campuses and will constitute a definite and syste matic effort to give students more influence in controlling their cam pus life. 6. The USA party advocates a study and evaluation of the Stu dent Union administrative policy and its correlation with ASUO NOMINATIONS ASSEMBLY (Continued lrom page oneJ touchables,” he said. “We appeal to the support of the individual—not a particular group.” During the speeches by senate at-large candidates, Arlo Giles, non-partisan, explained why he was not running as a party nominee. “If I win. my victory will not have been bought and paid for,” he said. “I am not a party hack or a political yes-man. „ “If you want partisan politics,” he concluded, “don’t vote for me— there are plenty other candidates who can give you these.” The full slate of candidates for ASUO offices is: ASUO President—Merv Hamp ton, USA; Bill Carey, AGS.

A pre-heater for each boiler takes heated combustion gases from the boiler and pre-heats air for combustion. Superheaters heat the steam, which is under 225 pounds pressure, from the normal 400-degree Fahrenheit temperature to 500 degrees. Each boiler is equipped with a forced draft fan which puts pres sure under the grate, and an in duced draft fan which serves the same purpose as the smoke stack at the old steam plant. Through Steam IMpes From the boilers the steam is sent to all campus buildings through 16-lnch pipes in the new tunnel constructed along with the new plant. The tunnel B» about 24 feet underground. The steum sent through the pipes is reduced to 20 pounds pressure. Two 1,500-kilowatt turbine gen erators are located at the easl sec tion of the plant, generating pow er at 2.400 volts each. The brains of this part of the plant is the panel switchboard. There are two panels for each generator, one meter panel, and four panels for the campus and the physical plant shops. Another system of panels • controls the equipment in the heating part of the plant. An outstanding feature of the plant is that the boilers and all equipment are automatically controlled. Many Meter* An Imposing system of meters nhowH such things us the amount of steam being produced by the boilers, the steam pressure, the temperature, the air flow through the combustion chambers, the temperature of the gases leaving the boilers, the amount of steam being sent to the turbines, and the percentage of carbon dioxide present. (The more carbon dioxide, lhq more efficient are the boilers. I Below the meters are the auto matic controls for the boilers. Bailey automatic combustion con trols, regulated by steam pressure, control the operation. Kach boiler has two velometers (somewhat like an electric eye) which aid In regulating combustion by measur ing the brightness of the fire. It's been a long haul, hut the University's new heating and pow er plant has taken over the full job of supplying heat and electrl t city to the campus. i — DIAMONDS - WATCHES SILVERWARE HERBERT OLSON JEWELER 175 E.
