PENNSYLVANIA Engineers May Take `Etiquette' Engineering students may have to take a course in Business Eti quette if a proposal by the En gineering -Architecture Stu dent Council goes through. The idea for the etiquette course was first suggested to council by Merritt A. Williamson, dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, who has agreed to write a book for the class since none is now available. One council member said there was a need for a more well , rounded education an d social training in the engineering cur riculum. The council generally felt the course, Business Etiquette, would prove invaluable in business. It was first suggested to in clude this training in engineering lecture or in the engineering orientation program, but the coun cil decided that business etiquette. is important enough to be includ -led in a course by itself. In other business, the council is considering placing on exhibi tion an architect's photograph of the new engineering building for the benefit of students, faculty and the townspeople.

Between 1 and 1.5 million gallons are used every day the University. Most of this water comes University's Thompson Farm Armory. At present three wells i are in operation and two morel are available for use in emergen cies. The wafer is pumped from these wells through about 13 miles of underground pipes. It goes directly into the Univer sity's water system or into one of two water towers located on campus. The second water source, which primarily supplies the Power Plant, is the reservoir at Musser 1 Gap about 5 miles south of cam pus. This water flows down to the University by force of gravity. In addition, the University has a cross-connection with the State College Borough water system which permits both State College and the University to exchange water on a give and take basis if the need arises. When more water is being consumed than the wells and reservoir can supply. water is taken automatically from the tanks. They are then refilled a'. night, thereby keeping a 24. hour supply on hand at almost all times. The water pumped in at night is secured from the wells. The tanks also serve as an emergency water supply it the University's supply is suddenly cut off. However, their total ca pacity of 1.25 million gallons would last only one,day in such a situation. The old water tank, burl% in 1936, is located west of• Beaver Field. One-hundred five feet high, 50 feet in diameter, it holds 500,- 000 gallons of water. The recently constructed (1956) tank in Hort Woods near the parking area south of Patterson Building stands 120 feet high, is 70 feet in diameter, and has a capacity of 750,000 gallons. Both of the tanks are elevated. The older one is also enclosed in brick casing. Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said the Uni versity plans to build a third water tank near the farm lands on the east side of campus in five or six years. It will hold approx imately 1. million gallons, he said• You're Looking At It! Olympia . . .

Three of the women each re ceived a 1 a.m. permission remov al because of the accumulation of four blackmarks. A coed appealed for the can cellation of a 1 a.m. removal be cause of the difference in the clocks in the lounge of her resi dence hall and in her house mother's office. She said that the clock in the lounge said 10:02 and that the clock in the office said 10:05. She knew that she was late but she thought that she should be given a lesser penalty because she was within the four minute grace period by the clock in her house mother's office. Audrey Jersun, chairman of Judicial, said that the penalty should be retained because coeds are responsible- for knowing the time of their housemother's clock. She also said that the four min ute grace period should only be used for an emergency and in this case it wasn't. Starting Dec. 5 the four min utes grace period will be re moved. PAGE FIVE
