Regional Roundup
by Cleve Twitched
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
People do interesting things for a hobby.
William "Ben" Walch, who lives up at Indit l4e. just
got an idea one day about two years ago, and as rlt h
and Bill Edmondson of Butte Falls built a.repiica & la twly
steam engine automobile. Walch built the chaiit mi biaiy,
Edmondson th power plant.
The car is not an exact replica ri any piiitlj M,
just a copy of early automobiles dene froM photo in
lbut old time.st'am cars.
"It' a tVo-inch bore. two-inch stroke, two-intli ctImkJit

of 400 pounds per square inch. Walch said. The car runs on
white gasoline and will do :iO miles per hour, although it takes
10 minutes to get up steam from a cold start.
The car. a three-fourths size replica (weighs 000 pounds),
will hold three gallons of gasoline and 15 gallons of water.
Ualch hasn't checked the mileage he gets, but the original
steam engine cars used to require a gallon of water a mile,
he said. The car will travel 15 to 20 miles on a gallon of gaso
line, however.
Walch fashioned most of the parts (or the car from raw
materials. He did make use of a few old Model T parts, but
he had to alter them somewhat. "This car has something the
originals didn't," he noted, "two forward speeds and two
backward.''
Since the completion of the car last spring, Walch has
gotten into the swing of old-rime car festivals. He doesn't
drive the car to them, however. He carts it in a trailer.

Vehrs went on to say that h
thought the college's dinin hull
had won the confidence and en- county for recreation develop-
thusiasm of most of the studtnts
and explained what he thought
were the essential ingredients
for a successful program.
"We're the only school in the
state system which offers sec
onds on everything, and we're
also the only school that offers
a choice of entree, salad and
dessert." Vehrs said, listing one
such ingredient.
He said he considered it im
portant to offer a choice so that
the student does not feel he is
being dictated to.
Maintaining standardized re
cipes that the students have in
dicated they like and which also
fit the budget was another tao
tor in the program,
thought. j
Over 100 Employees
The dormitory and dining hall
operation is handled by 13
cooks, 86 student employees and
23 civil service employees. Pay
roll costs run in excess of S1O0,
000 a year.
There are 760 students living
in the dormitories this year,
Vehrs said, 376 worr.en and 384
men. Sixty per cent of them are
freshmen.
This year it costs each student
$li64 a year for food and lodging.
Only two colleges in the West
provide these services for less,
Vehrs said, while some charge
over $1,000 a year.
