In its opening meeting of the

the following resolution dedicated
to the memory of Mr. Bell:
"Devoted servant of Penn State

respect, admiration and formal
honors; moreover, his achieve
ments were characterized by a
personal warmth and giving of
self which won him countless
friends throughout the country.
And so we grieve at the passing
of Lou Bell, one of our `nobles'."

INTERNATIONAL LADIES'
GARMENT WORKERS' UNION
MEMO TO: The Editor
FROM: Gus Tyler, Director, ILGWU Training
Institute
Subject: A DIFFERENT KIND OF JOB OPPORTUNITY
It occurs to me that there are some in your
student body who would be actively interested
in a job—and a challenge—that others of their
generation have accepted and turned into a re
warding way of life.
The Intefnational Ladies' Garment Workers'
Union conducts its own "West Point," to pre-,/
pare young men and women for careers in labor
leadership. The one-year course combines
classroom and field work. Those who complete
the course are assigned to a full time job with
the union.
With the job comes the challenge—to provide
the kind of dedicated and ethical leadership
that will make the American labor movement
the creative social force it seeks to be.
The Training Institute is now id its ninth
year. 125 of its graduates now hold union
office in the ILGWU. Virtually all started as
organizers—to learn the labor movement at
the grass roots. While some continue at this
mission as their first and enduring love,
others branch out to take on responsibilities
as business agents, local union managers, edu
cational and political directors, area super
visors, time study experts, etc.

manager of the telephone service,
said.
No change is necessary in West'
Halls, because the phones are al
ready set up - for the new system.
The process of changing systems,
and laying the underground wir
ing was started before school be
gan this year, and is scheduled
for completion Aug. 16, 1959.
In connection with the change
over to this new telephone sys
tem, a new Telephone Build
ing, due for completion Feb. 15,
is being constructed next to
Boucke Building.
When the new building. is ready,
Western Electric will move their
crews and equipment onto the
campus.
The crews will have to put
the elaborate equipment to
gether, connect wires, pull un
derground wires into the tele
phone building and install the
switchboard.
Although the conduits have
been laid, the phones still have to
be installed. Bell Telephone crews
will assist Western Electric in the
various installation phases.
Ground has been dug near the
hospital and on the corner of Pol
lock and Shortlidge Roads near
the Jordan fertility plots so the
wires could be installed.
Diehi said that the main con
nections have been made in
front of the Boucke Building in
the steam tunnel. He said that
he estimates that about 30 men
have been used so far on the
job.
It is hard to estimate the over
all costs of the project, he said,
because there are so many dif
ferent phases required in the in
stalling of the telephones.
