Perkins added that the tickets for the lectures are going fast Interested students may pick ur their tickets at the Hetzel Union desk to be assured of a seat. cieties; and All-University activi ties as student government and poiltical parties. Heading each group will be a chairman selected because he is outstanding in his field. He will be assisted by other students who have also obtained prominence in their activity. These students will answer questions about the purposes of the activity, eligibility, informa tion about meetings and the offi cers of the activity. . Students May Attend Although the exposition has been planned mainly to aid fresh men and transfer students, stu dents already enrolled at the Uni versity may attend. One of the main objectives set down by the sponsors of the expo sition is to inform interested stu dents, not to pressure them to join activities. Participants in the exposition have been warned of this and no blaring propagan da program or "selling" of the activities will be allowed, said Ta m e s Jimirro, co-chairman of the exposition. . Began in Spring Plans call for the ballroom to be set up similar to the tables for registration in Recreation Hall _with only simple signs to designate the activities. The idea for the exposition or iginated late last spring from the dean of men's office where it was felt that new students did not learn enough about activities during the regular Orientation Week program. • Book Exchange Sells 2377 Dinks to Frosh A total of 2377 dinks had been :;old to freshmen-when the Book Exchange closed at 9 last night, according to Gerald Carlson, store mSnager.

Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said the construction equipment is.being moved in, with excava tion to begin immediately. The dormitory area will include, a quadrangle of four L-shaped, residence halls and a two-story dining hall. The area will serve 1144 men and is scheduled for completion for the fall of 1959. Buildings to Replace President Eric A. Walker said the buildings will enable the Uni versity to remove temporary hous ing from the Nittany and Pollock area, which has "outlived its use fulness." The temporary housing areas were built 12 years ago to accommodate the post-war enroll ment bulge. The new buildings will be con-1 structed of brick. Perpendicular! wings of the L-shaped buildings! will be 140 feet in length and 40+ feet wide. Each will consist of, four floors. The dining hall will be 150 by 110 feet and will be located along Shortlidge Road. I Each. of the four residence build lings will be composed of two liv ing units, similar to the new wom en's dormitories. Building Boom Continues The dormitories and foods ad dition is a continuation of the construction boom on campus. Boucke Building, the new class room and business administration building, is the newest structure on campus. Wiegand also said the College of' Business Administration has mov ed into its new offices in the Boucke Building and the class rooms are already in use. A few minor "odds and ends" remain before the building is completed, he said. Four Projects Planned University and General State Authority officials have inspected ißoucke to check. for minor speci fications which may have been , overlooked. Several items of fur niture are still to arrive. Four GSA projects are in the "pre-final plan" stage.
