University
Establishes
New Agency
A department which will
provide specially qualified
personnel to conduct studies,
assemble facts and make rec
ommendations on the alloca
tion and utilization of University
facilities and equipment has been
established at the University.
George R. Thuering, professor
of industrial engineering, heads
the new Department of Manage
ment Engineering. He is respons
ible to Albert E. Diem, vice-presi
dent of business.
Diem said that, through this
new agency, studies can be con
ducted in a more scientific man
ner and thus more accurate and
complete information can be made
available as to the use of facili
ties.
Some of the fields in which
work will be done initially are
non-academic floor area usage,
furniture and non-academic
equipment requirements for new
apace, operational equipment
studies, work-system studies and
establishment of non-academic
job standards.
"This procedure," Diem said,
"will also help us to speed action
on decisions which are sometimes
delayed while studies are under
taken."
The department became effec
tive July 1.
Thuering said that one of the
first projects of the new depart
ment was space allocation and
utilization in Hammond and
Sackett which included establish
ing new offices for The Daily
Collegian in the basement of the
north wing of Sackett.

studied for two years before the
program was initiated, Koser said.
Koser was reluctant to comment
on whether term standings would
appear on winter and spring
certificates of registration. He
said, however, that the problem is
being considered, but that no
decision has been made yet.

Confuses
Many University students were surprised yesterday
when the sun appeared over Mount Nittany before 3 a.m.,
according to their electric alarm clocks.
Still others were, reportedly, shocked when they arrived
for their first period classes and discovered the third period
In session
Why all the confusion? Much
of the campus and portions of
State College were without elec
trical power from midnight
Wednesday until 4:30 a.m. yes
terday as a result of trouble
that started when an automobile
drifted from a parking area in
to a power line pole.
The car, Campus Patrol report
ed, is owned by James A. Jones
of RD 1, Petersburg. He had
parked it in the parking area
near Pollock Dining Hall.
The car is reported to have
drifted down a grade into the pole
which carries main lines of West
Penn Power Co. to a transformer
station located near the Poultry
Building.
The collision with the pole is
reported to have put the station
out of commission, causing pow
er failure in portions of town,

the Pollock area, East Halls,
Nittany Residence Halls and
Graduate Housing area. The Re
actor, where the failure set off
an alarm and the Sewage Plant
as well as the Poultry Building
and other buildings on east
campus were also affected.
A series of events in tracing the
trouble, resulted in more than a
four-hour delay in restoring pow
er, although power was restored
for short periods to some campus
buildings drawing from the Uni
versity Power Plant lines.
University officials said yester
day morning that because the
failure occurred after midnight, it
was possible to substitute power
from the University Power Plant.
They also noted that the fail
ure did not greatly handicap oper
ations at the sewage plant be
cause of the time that the failure
occurred.
