room be provided for each dormitory;
the room to be furnished with up
holstered furniture and other fittings
suitable for a club room.
2. It is suggested that a caretaker
be placed in charge of each dormi
tory, charged with maintaining it in
a clean and sanitary condition.
3. It is suggested that the jani
tor force be increased and that the
rooms be swept daily and the halls
twice daily by competent men under
the close supervision of the caretak
er.
4. It is suggested that the rooms
be checked in and out by the care
taker and no person be allowed to
occupy them without provisions first
being made to insure payment for
any damage that might be done by
them.
A reasonable careful estimate of
the costs of these improvements has
been made and it is believed that
all of the provisions and suggestions
contained in this petition can be ef
fected without increasing the main
tenance fee more than twelve dol
lars and fifty cents per term. The
students desire these changes and be
lieve they will be of advantage ; n
making the school a better one than
it now is. It is hoped that the au
thorities execute the provisions con
tained in the pi an as soon as possi
ble.

they opportunity to exercise creative
talent? Is individual work recognized?

fTMLE largest steam-turbine
X generator units to be installed
south of the Mason-Dixon line
are now being built for one of
the most unusual organizations
of its kind in the world. The
Duke Power Company is famous
for the efficiency of its power
plants—and for the fact that, its
operating profits
are distributed
largely to charity.
At a horseshoe bend in the Ca
tawba River in the heart of the
Piedmont Carolinas the Duke
Power Company is building a
generating plant which, if present
plans are carried out, will be the
largest of its kind in the south
eastern United States. The ulti
mate capacity will probably be
600,000 horsepower. The first
two units, which Westinghouse is
now building, each are to have a
generating capacity of 55,000
kilowatts. They will develop
150,000 horsepower.
By operating at practically full
capacity during the entire 24
hours of the day, letting the com
pany’s hydro-electric plants handle
variations in the quantity of
power required, the new units
will furnish the means to reduce
current costs to a minimum.

The large jobs go to large organiza
tions. Westinghouse holds a strong
appeal for young men of enterprise
and genius because it almost daily
provides contacts
with outstanding
developments in
the electrical field.
