Faculty Attend
2-Day Seminar
Member; of the faculty and ad
ministration-115 strong—h a v e
concluded a 2-day seminar on
iTniversity problems at the Fort
Bedfot d Inn
The participants met in four
sessions to discuss the Univer
sity's internal communications,
quality in performance, long
range goals and other adminis
trattve problems.
Attending the meeting were de
partment heads, deans and mem
bers of President Eric A. Walker's
staff.
After dinner on both nights
the group heard talks from Dr.
C Addison Hickman, dean of the
College of General Studies at'
North Carolina State College and
Dr. John Ivey, executive vice
president of New York Univer
sity.
Walker, who would not com
ment to any length, said "the
opportunity to exchange ideas
was in itself a valuable and
worth-while experience." He said
the administration planned to
study the recorded Minutes of
the %'armus discussion groups for
ideas and guidelines in future pro
gramming.
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.
At present 27 fraternities are
active members of IFCPA, and
purchase goods through the pro
gram. However, all fraternities
within the Interfraternity Council
are eligible to become members
of the IFCPA.
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.
