Bierly of the Public Information office, an nounced yesterday. Memberships to the series have been selling slower this year than in any of the previous five cam paigns, David H. McKinley / pres ident of the Assocition, said. He expressed the hope that the goal of 1230 memberships will be reached. The Philharmonic Piano Quar tet has been scheduled for Oct. 22 and Virtuosi di Roma foe Jan uary, but the complete program cannot be arranged until after the dote of the campaign, when the budget for the series can be determined. McKinley pointed out that stu dent support of the series has been lagging during the past few years, filthough reports made at the student encampment ex pressed concern about the need for more concerts on campus. The memberships are available through student workers kin the various residence halls but also may be obtained at the headquar ters in the lobby of the Hetzel Union Building. The campaign will close at noon Saturday.

Buck hout, professor of geology, zool ogy and botany, was placed in charge of the books and reading room. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The plan is aimed at allowing independent men to attend single concerts- rather than buy a sea son ticket to the concerts. Tickets are sold only on a season-ticket basis. The proposed plan calls for AIM to contribute one fifth of the total cost of the tickets and each of the councils to contribute one fifth. Cost to be Divided The total cost of 30 season tick ets is $150; therefore, each coun cil and AIM will contribute $3O. This will leave a block of 30 tickets open for each .concert date which will be available to inde pendent men. John Carlson, presi'-' dent of West Halls Council. said he thought that the tickets would probably sell for about $2 each. However. a definite price has not been set. Three of the councils held spe cial meetings last night to decide the Community Concert issue. Nittany Council President George Mauler polled his council by per sonal. contact and reported un animous approval. TIM. originally voted to appropriate $9O for the ticket fund, but when it was pointed out that the other councils would be contributing on an equal basis they reverted their appro priation to $36. Student Attendance Declining Carlson told the members of his council that' in past years the attendance at the Community' Concerts has been approximately 50 per cent townspeople and 50 per cent students, and in many cases the townspeople outnumber ed the students by far. He said he felt that thiS new plan would serve to bring the students back into a Community Concert pro gram from which they have been missing for the past several years. Bruce Lieske, AIM president, said last night that Harry Mar tini, AIM treasurer, wilt buy the tickets. Lieske expects to get up a definite system for selling the tickets by Monday. He said it was likely that the tickets will be sold on a first-come-first ,serve basis. The Philharmonic Piano Quar tet will open the Community Con cert series Oct. 22 in Schwab Auditorium. Dungaree Drag Corsage Contest Challenges Coeds Ribbons, glue, odds and ends. and ingenuity are all that are necessary to enter the Dungaree Drag corsage contest. The Dungaree Drag, sponsored by Cwens, sophomore women's hat society, will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the ballroom of the Hetzel. Union Building. Judges of the 'Drag' corsage contest, an annual event, will, award prizes for the funniest and most unusual corsages. To facilitate dancing, however, the committee has decided that the corsages may not be worn on the wrist or around the neck, but must be the customary shoulder type. A door prize will be given at the dance. Several novelty dances have been planned. Men Vacate 2 Pollock 'Dormitories Pollock dormitories one and two have been vacated for ef ficiency reasons, Otto E. Mueller, department of housing director, said yesteay. Men livin rd g in these halls have been moved into other residences because of the poorer condition of Pollock one and two. Inferior conditions have occurred for these, reasons: 1. They are located near-1 er the dining hall than the other, buildings and have had a higher; number of occupants over the] years. 2. They are located at the bottom of a hill where water drainage accumulates. Casement windows were installed in them instead of the usual double-hung type and have not proved as dur able. Mueller pointed out that all the Nittany and Pollock dormitories are war surplus with approxi mately a ten year utility period. Their longevity was to expire in 1952. They have served well, and will continue to be useful as long as they are needed, Mueller. said. The dormitories vacated were, an aid while used as staging; areas, but are too much in need; of extensive repair if they are to; be used for the entire school year.] Tentative plans are to remove; the Nittany and Pollock housing, facilities after the proposed wom en's dormitories are ready for use. ry lDispensa Sees I Steady. Decline In Cold Epidemic The lowest number of cold cases treated at the dispensary in the past two weeks was re ported yesterday by dispensary officials. Approximately 90- students re ceived treatment at the dispen noon. Of these, only 33 were suf fering from colds and sore throats. Officials at the` dispensary pointed out that yesterday's - low number does not mean that the cold bug is disappearing from the campus.

Additional furniture such as typewriter stands, record players and stands, and book shelves man— be used in those residence hall s which do not hive 'such modern facilities as Simmons, McElwain, and Thompson hall s, Otto E. Mueller, director of housing, said. Currently, any extra furnishing in a residence hall must be there / with special permission from the department of housing. Offenders of this rule will be asked tei lend the articles home, Mueller said. Students have been bringing additional furniture from home even though they have been in structed 'that the rooms .are al-' ready furnished,' he said. Many women forget \them at the end of the term or ask for storage space. This is impossible because most rooms are used in the sum mer for conference groups. The housing department has been trying to get a good under standing of the needs of the stu dents, Mueller said, and is 'think ing of providing rooms with com bination bookshelVes and drYing racks. These plans are not def inite. The British Museum holds first rank among-the great libraries of the world with more than 5,000.000. printed volumes an d manuscripts. FRIDAY.
