In addition to the duties suggested by this provision and the accompanying chart, the Comptroller is charged with the general J. W. Calhoun oversight of all dormitories, the Cafeteria, the Workshop, the Comptroller Press, the Gym Store, and similar enterprises. The business operations of the University ' s present nine-building program like- wise occupy much of the Comptroller ' s time. The multifarious duties of the office of the Comptroller keep three telephones in almost constant use. If one might adopt the O. O. Mclntyre style and present some short shavings from the Comptroller ' s office, this might serve as a sample: Hello, Dubb ' s cow is loose on the Cavanaugh property . . . Offer par and five thirty-seconds for two million Fourths . . . New deep well came in making twenty thousand barrels and fifteen million cubic feet of gas . . . It is too cold in my office . . .
