3,500 spring roll wrappers. 400 pounds of vermicelli noodles. 250 pounds each of carrots and cucumbers. 80 pounds of lettuce. These were the makings of the world's longest spring roll, 400 meters or 1,315 feet in length, constructed in Barton Hall by students in Cornell's School of Hotel Administration on Saturday. The event, 'Roll for Relief' (R4R), set a new Guinness world record while raising money for tsunami relief efforts."
