PAGE EIGHT Chimney, Tunnels Make Power House Renowned Towering 150 feet is the red brick chimney which marks from all over campus the location of the University power plant at the corner of Burroughs Rd. and College Ave. Built in 1929, the plant has been supplying the main cam pus with steam and electricity since 1930. AIM Board Will Probe Street Care The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors decided Wednesday night to investigate the possibility of placing waste containers at key spots on campus and having dirt removed from the streets. Lynn Scheirer, junior in civil engineering from Reading, was appointed chairman of a commit tee to investigate the matter. • His committee will report to the board at the next meeting. To Hold Elections The board also decided to hold the AIM elections on April 3. Act ing on a recommendation from the executive committee, th e board moved the elections date to correspond with other spring elec tions. Nominations for the AIM elee tio-ns will be held on March 27. James Tipton, Town Indepen dent Men president, reported that 224 ballots were cast in the TIM elections yesterday. Balloting will continue today. Chairmen Appointed Three committee chairmen were appointed at the meeting: John Atarko, spring dance committee; James Wambold, trophy commit tee; and James Goodwin, elections committee. Lash Howes, AIM president, an nounced that the board will hold coffee hour with members of All-University Cabinet at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Pitt Matmen-- (Continued from page six) Against Lehigh, Johnson moved up to 177 and proved he could handle the extra weight by wal lopping Bill Gustafson, 6-0. Junior Vic DeFelice, third in the Eastern tournament last sea son, is the Panther's 137-pounder. DeFelice, who hails from Canons burg, had an eight-match winning streak snapped two weeks ago by Lehigh's Eastern titlist, Joe Grat to, 16-6. All of DeFelice's victories have been earned the hard way, by decisions. Bob Richardson, another junior, has been carrying the bulk of work at 157, recording three wins and four defeats. He also lost a match while competing at 167. Richardson owns one fall, a sec ond period pin over Maryland's Nick Biondi. Bob Bubb, a regular last sea son at 147, has seen action at both 147 and 157 for the Pan thers this year. He has an over all mark of 1-3, but that one win was a first period fall over Michigan's Dick Schneiden. Sophomore sensation Tom Al berts occupied the Pittsburgh 177 starting post most of the season but he has not wrestled in the Panthers last two outings. Alberts has chalked up five vic tories against two defeats this year. One of his losses came on a forfeit to Lock Haven and the other was a 5-2 defeat to lowa State's Big Ten Champion, Frank Powell. Chaplain to Talk At Hillei Tonight The Rev. Luther H. Harsh barger, University chaplain, wily be guest speaker at the Sabbath Eve Services at 8 tonight at the Hillel Foundation. This is the annual Brotherhood Service which is sponsored by the .Anti-Defamation League Commit tee of the Avodah Chapter o: B'nai B'rith Women, who will b the hostesses at the Oneg Shabba reception which will follow th service. lie. The service is open to the pub By JOE BOEHRET Steam for heating, for food ser vice and for laboratory use is the main product of the plant, while electricity, strangely enough, is a byproduct. Steam at 250 p.s.i. is utilized as a prime mover in two turbo-elec tric units at the central plant. This accomplishes a two-fold pur pose, the reduction of steam to low pressure for efficient use as a heating agent, and the produc tion of electricity for campus use. 5 Main Lines Used The byproduct electricity is supplied by five main lines to buildings on the campus and the University farms. Underground' power lines are used for distribu tion of the electricity on campus, while some overhead lines are. used to supply the farms. However, the pov'er plant is not the only source of electricity for campus use. A continuous hook up with West Penn Power Com-I pany lines is maintained. The, University is both a buyer and; seller of electricity, depending on; the electrical load conditions. But: over a long period of time, the University buys more electricity than it sells. The five coal fired boilers in the plant are gluttons for fueL In , the winter months they consume an average of 150 tons of coal per day. All coal used is brought to the plant by railroad cars. This year it is estimated that the University will-pick up a coal bill of close to $200,000 for over 30,000 tons of coal. Ashes Utilized Yet, there is one conciliation for the University, for up to 15 tons of ashes are available daily for road building at the University farms and other uses. Last summer, for the first time, students from the University were employed in the plant. Four stu dents were employed as mechanic helpers. The venture was success ful, and one of the students even married the plant foreman's daughter. The regular labcir force at the plant includes engineers, firemen, coal and ash men. a clerk, me chanics and a welder. The anal ysts take daily samples of all coal used, and they treat boiler water with chemicals to protect the boilers. Tunnels Interest Students For emergency use, the power plant is equipped with two oil fired boilers. In the event of any failure in the operation of the coal fired units, these oil units are immediately put into use to main tain the steam and electrical load. The power plant has arteries in the form of underground tunnels for the distribution of steam, com pressed air which is produced in the power plant for laboratory use and gas to campus buildings. For the most part, the tunnels, which seem to be of great interest to the men at Penn State, are lo cated under campus sidewalks. They can be easily located when mow is on the ground, as the heat usually keeps the sidewalk roofs .1 ry. To Add Economizers To keep up with the expansion program of the University, this Spring the power plant will add economizers, an induced draft system and a dust collecting unit. These facilities will increase plant efficiency enough to keep plant rapacity in line with immediate. University expansion. In addition to the central power 31ant, the Nittany heating plant it the East end of campus is used o provide steam. Low pressure :team is supplied by this instal ation to the Nittany Dormitories, iittany Cafeteria, Pollock Circle - .7nion Building, the Ice Skating link, and particularly for the `oultry Plant. At times a small 'ortion of steam is supplied to he campus by this plant In the Pollock Circle Dorms, ,ot air furnaces and hot water nesters are used. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE.
