"We buy goods for all of tI sity," said Anne Durham, manager of purchasing and supply. After the respective department heads requisition materials, the Purchas ing Office then buys them and has them delivered. The department heads sign for the materials and the bills are sent to the University I treasurer. Most of these goods are bought from wholesalers. Process Saves Money This process saves money as most of the buying is in large lots. It also provides a way to keep up with the stock. Since January the Purchasing Office has handled 4, 525 purchase orders. Before the present Purchasing Office was set up in February 1954, all of the buying was handled through the treasurer's office. There was no way to keep an ade quate account of the stock under this system, Miss Durham said. White mice, pigs and frogs for the biology department are fre quently bought through the Pur chasing Office. Handles M aintenance Supplies A great deal of the materials hand!ed by the office are mainte nance suppllies. Electrical, plumb ing andl cleaning supplies are lo catedl in three rooms which closely .gresemble a hardware store. The office also p)rovides for the up-keep of the University trucks and sta Lion wagons. Recently the office took over two add(ition al rooms formerly occupied b)y the Duplicating Office. There are also two large rooms apart from the main office which house both new and old furniture. A graduate of this school, Miss Durham has been employed at the University for 13 years. At the in sistence of a friend employed at the University she consented to take a "part time" job here and Sshe has been here evc& since. Purchasing Association Member Miss Durham holds the distine tin) of being the only female mem ber of the Columbia Purchasing Agents Association made up of city p)urchasing agents. In addition to Miss Durham are II. V. Richardson, warehouseman; Iva Bane, secretary; Jimmy Myers, student assistant and a janitor. The Purcehasing Office also deco rates spe'aker stands and attendsI to arrangements for graduation. "We are always in search of garnet ___ and black ribbons for these occa sions," said Miss D)urham.

Because of the use of a transistor (shown above, extreme left on index finger) this amplifying unit is no larger than an ice euhe and can fit inside the housing of a standard telephone. Manufacturing of transistors on a commercial basis represents a solid engineering achievement . . . for it means volume production of an item that m-st be made under rigidly controlled laboratory conditions. For example, harmful impurity atoms in the germanium must he reduced to less than I for every 10,000,000,000 germanium atoms and then helpful impurity atoms added until there is approximately 1 for every 50,000,000 germanium atoms. VOLUME CONTROL TELEPHONE: A mist ,r t con:!- 1 t~)h IlK CI ,ses Western Electric has been making transistors since 1951 listening '('lr,c .. n i) those when our engineers set up the first commercial production who have ditticult% he,ri ng. line. This history-making achievcment is representative of the way we work as the manufacturing unit of the Bell System . . . translating Bell System designs and inventions into the many things - from tiny semi-conductors to huge switching systems - used in the nationw ide Bell telephone network. It's a job that presents an unending challenge to our engineering staff. MNU'ACrURING AND SUPPLY UNIT OF THE Bil. SYSTEM Manufacturing plants in Chicago, Ill.; Kearny, N.
