Old Main Floors-
'Cough Up' $4OO
In Cigarette Buffs
More than $4OO worth of .cigarr
ette tobacco is thrown away in Old .
Main by Penn Staters in one school,
year, a statistical compilation has
revealed.
A great majority of the 400 butts
collected in=a single day's sweeping
of Old Main are - at lea s t half un- -
smoked, janitors have estimated.
Here and there, it is true, may be
found a "butt definitely" less than
three-fourths' of an inch in length,
but most of them measure fully one
and three-eighths inches.
Granting, then, that 40 half
smoked cigarettes are the . equiv
alent of one pack, 10
. packs
potential coughs are wasted in Old
Main in a day, 70 in a week, and
2.520 in two semesters: Wasting
eight cents on each pack, extrava
gant smokers throw away $403.20
worth of valuable nicotine in a
year.
If all the butts collected in Old
Main in one - year were, laid end to
end in a line starting in front of
the main gate and extending east
ward, they would, if not molested
by hard;:up students, reach almost
to Lemont.
Singers from 15 states and two
foreign countries make up the
