Monster Cow Needed To Fill
Swain Hall's Daily Milk Pail
o
Statistics Compiled by Manager Obie Harmon Reveal That About
130 Gallons of Milk Are Used Daily at Campus Com- 4
" mons to Feed C
:.- ; o '
Twice during the past week a
handsome cow grazed nonchal
ently on the campus near Gra
ham Memorial, totally impervi
ous to the outraged looks on the
faces of campus denizens.
Perhaps it was the sight of
"Bossie" on the campus that led
a Swain-fed freshman to ask a
waiter at the commons: "Tell
me, does this dining room keep
its own cow back out here some
where?" If Swain .hall management did
keep a cow for such a purpose,
it would have to be a mighty big
cow much larger than the one
grazing near Graham Memorial
this wTeek.
In fact, if such were the case,
Robert L. Kipley, genial com
pilor of "Believe It Or Not,"
would have given the animal na
tional prominence as the "proud
giveryof 130 gallons of milk
daily."
Big Milk Drinkers
But the drinking of that much
milk is no impossibility to the
students fed at Swain hall. The
University dining room has ac
tually used 130 gallons of milk
per day, according to figures
compiled by Manager Obie Har
mon.
His figures show that between
the opening of school in Sep
tember and the last day of No
vember the management served
its diners with 7,578 gallons of
sweet milk and 1,373 gallons of
buttermilk. The sweet milk pur
chased by the dining room is
"grade A pasteurized" and has
a butter fat content of 4.2 per
cent. -
This milk was served on taoles
!at Swain hall for drinkinrr rar
for use, in coffee and cocoa.
Weight Increases
In observing the tremendous
amount of milk that had 'been
consumed in a short while, Man
ager Harmon also became inter
ested in the reports that certain
freshmen employed in Swain
REV. TOM WRIGHT
WILL LEAVE HILL
FOR NEW POSITION
Assistant Pastor of Chapel of Cross
Offered Position as Secretary of
College Work for Church.
. Rev. Tom Wright, assistant
rector of the -Chapel of' the
Cross, and closely connected
with University life has " an
nounced that he will probably
have to leave Chapel Hill to ac
cept a new position offered by
the National Council of the
Episcopal church. An offer to
serve as acting secretary for col
lege work is now being consid
ered by Wright.
Wright graduated from Se
wanee in 1926, and, following
his graduation, he took the regu
lar three year theological course
at Virginia Theological Semin
ary finishing in 1929. At the
seminary Wright was president
of the student body. ' .
Following the completion of
his work at V. T. S., Wright was
assigned by the National Coun
cil to help with various duties
in the fourth Province, which
includes the district south of the
Mason-Dixon'line and east of the
Mississippi. His new work
will consist mainly in bringing
before the people of the church
the activities of college work and
the need for financial support.
hall were showing phenomenal
increase in weight.
He was amazed to learn that
one freshman, who washes dish
es for his board, had gained
forty-five pounds in weight since
coming to Swain hall. Another
freshman from one of the other
crews hesitatingly confessed that
he had added thirty-one pounds
to his weight. The boy who
gained forty-five pounds, how
ever, made his story more credi
table by explaining that he came
to work at Swain hall at the be
ginning of the first session of
summer school. He gained
twenty pounds during summer
school and added twenty-five
more during the first part of the
fall quarter.
When these large increases in
weight were reported to Har
mon, he began observing the
twenty-eight new men who came
to work in September. He found
that the group had shown an av
erage increase in weight of
14 4-7 pounds to the man. The
greatest increase shown' since
September was thirty-one, and
the smallest four pounds ; where-
as one member oi tne groupl
failed to experience any change
in weight at all.
Didn't Eat Breakfast
Many and widely-varied theo
ries were advanced by the fresh
men who had shown the largest
increases. One big fellow, who
was large enough before adding
another twenty-five pounds, de
clared earnestly that the sole
reason for his gaining weight
was because he had never been
accustomed to eating breakfast
before he came to the Univer
sity. It required quite a bit of
diplomatic interrogation to learn
from him whether his failure to
eat the morning meal was due
to the economic depression or to
a sectional custom.
When Harmon was approach
ed for his opinion on the causes
for such' larere increases in
