  We consider several topics concerning static magnetic dipole and electric
quadrupole moments ($\mu$ and $Q$) as signatures of the onset of nuclear
collectivity. Having previously noted that in $^{50}\mbox{Cr}$ there is an
abrupt change of sign in $Q$ of yrast states with $J^{\pi}=10^+, 12^+$, and
$14^+$ relative to lower $J$ states, we discuss whether these states are oblate
or prolate. We next show that configuration mixing leads to much larger changes
in $Q$ than in $\mu$. We then look for other bands of interest in
$^{50}\mbox{Cr}$. Finally we discuss the Jolos-von Brentano relationship which
relates $Q$ of $2^+_1$ states to $B({\rm E2})$'s for transitions from and to
the $2^+_1$ states.
