Ritchey to Head IFC Purchasing Robert Ritchey, Acacia, has been elected president of the Interfraternity Council Purchas ing Association. James Wolfinger, Sigma Phi Epsilon, was named vice president and James Reeves, Theta Xi, was elected secretary-treasurer. "I believe we have just tapped the surface of the potential in purchases and services we can of fer the fraternities," Ritchey said upon being elected.

IiCA to Sponsor Project At Potter County Camp The University Christian Association will again sponsor a work project at the Potter County migrant workers camp the last two weeks in August. About 10 or fifteen students are needed to help, according to Genevieve Dilts, associate direc tor of the UCA. The work will in clude setting up recreation for the children, directing craftsworlt, conducting Bible schools and simi lar activities. Migrant worker camps ar e located throughout Potter County. About 1300 adults and 110 chil dren were there in 1958. The workers, most of them from around Florida or the deep South., pick beans, potatoes and peas on the farms. They work in northern Penn sylvania from late summer until about Labor Day. Students who want to help with the UCA work project from Aug. 23 - Sept. 5 will have to pay their own expenses, in cluding transportation ir e m State College, room, board and Insurance. Miss Diits said housing may he or the new telephones have dence halls. Installation of the telephones will begin June 8. A new telephone building located north of Boucke building will house the new system. According to Wilbur F. Diehl, manager of telephones in the de partment of maintenance and utilities, the changeover has been' in the planning stage for several ! years. The opening of the North ' Residence Halls, planned for September, made the change necessary at this time. Both the administrative switchboard in Willard building and the resi dence hall system in Simmons are now loaded to capacity. The new system will have one' telephone for every four rooms in the residence halls. Each student on campus will be assigned an in-, dividual telephone number be ginning UNiversity 5- followed by four digits. This will enable calls to be placed in or out of the resi dence halls at any time of the day or night. All campus offices will also have individual numbers, instead of an extension number. The use of these direct lines will eliminate the necessity for a University switchboard. One exchange will serve all telephones on campus, elimin ating clogging of the lines and greatly increasing the efficiency of equipment. At present, the administrative system carries the heavier load during the of fice hours, while the residence hell system is used to capacity during the evening hours. The number of trunk lines! serving the University will be in-, creased to 143. This will improve service on calls to and from State College and on long distance calls. Installation of this new sys tem will allow the number of telephones to increase proportion ately with the growth of the Uni versity. Since the present system was installed in 1950, the number of telephones has doubled. Even this inncrease did not provide enough telephones. For more than a year, University officials have had to deny requests for addi tional telephone lines to Univer sity offices.

Authorities Check On Purchasing Plan The dean of men's office and two Better Business Bureaus are checking on the validity of the claims of a solocitor for a membership-type clothing plan. Harold Kingston, a salesman and president of the Con sumers Purchasers Agency, entered fraternities here last week and solicited members at $lO each. One of the Better Business Bureaus was contacted by Alex ander S. McCaughan, a junior in business administration from Bethesda, Md., after his fra ternity, Phi Delta Theta, be came skeptical. The Bureau said, according to McGaughan, that the company has only been in existence for three months and that Kingston was president of it. The Bureau also said that a; far as they knew, he had only solicited memberi ships and as yet filled no orders. While speaking to Phi Delta! Theta, McGaughan said, one of, the members asked Kingston tol name specific places where company had sent goods. He, named Sigma Phi Epsilon at Bos.' i ton University. McGaughan said he called there and they told him 'that Kingston had "sent us things that we didn't exactly want." Kingston showed a sample catalog to fraternity members and told them that similar ones would be sent to them as seasons and clothes styles changed. Thus far, nobody here or elsewhere is known to have received one from the company. Only one model ' besides Kingston was pictured in the catalog. When at Beta Theta Pi, Kingston denied he was the model, and at Phi Delta Theta he said he was. Before anyone can solicit fra ternity houses, he must first be approved by the University or the STATE COLLEGE H.S.
