THURSDAY. JULY 27. 1961 SALESMAN ILLEGALLY TRIES TO SELL MAGAZINES to a group of coeds. Under the guise of taking a public opinion poll, he and other salesmen tried to get students to buy magazines. In doing so they violated a University ordinance prohibiting the sale of such items on the campus. Magazine Salesmen invade Pollock Rd. Young magazine salesmen who were in evidence along Pollock Road near the center of campus yesterday may not be around long today. According to Lt. Paul Stewart of the Campus Patrol if the young men are seen by any of the patrolmen or if the fact that they are back is brought to the patrol's attention the sales men will be informed of the Uni-- versity policy on such matters and asked to leave. According to George L. Dono van. co-ordinator of student ac tivities, it is against University policy for a business "to use uni versity property for private gain." THE YOUNG MEN sought to sell magazine subscriptions by stopping students purportedly for a survey of their magazine pref erences. According to several students they were asked which they pre ferred among two or three maga zines and then asked if they would like a free subscription. The students said that they were then told that they would have to pay handling and postage for the long term subscription. One of the salesmen, James Wilts, who claimed to earn be tween $125 and $l5O "in a good week," said that three salesmen plan to be working on campus until Friday. Then their trip, he said which brought them to the campus yesterday from Syracuse, will take them to Washington, D.C., on their way south. ALTHOUGH, he said, they usu ally approach students and offer two or three magazines, they sell any one of 25. After working awhile he claimed "you can tell whether a student would be more interested in a fashion magazine or a news magazine. Wilts had a one-day peddling permit for the Borough of State College. According to Donovan this is not valid on the campus.

PENNSYLVANIA University Explosions and earthquakes are . occurring every day on campus, but no one seems to notice them. There is no need for alarm, however, for the explosions arc produced on a small scale as :part of a research project being conducted by the Depart ment of Geophysics. The project is under the supervision of Dr. B. F. Howell, Jr., head of the de partment. Howell and ms associates are trying to get significant informa tion on the difference between earthquake waves and waves or iginating from underground nu 'clear blasts. THE PROJECT is being carried out under the auspices of the Fed ,eral Government on the assump tion that nuclear test ban talks in Geneva might prove successful, Howell said. He added that the information he receives from his experiments will then enable. him and other men in his field to determine whether detected earth waves are Lafayette Chaplain To Speak Sunday John M.
