PACE FOUR: Fraternity Problems Plan Proposed To Cut Food Bills Editor's note—This is the first )f. a series of articles presenting opssible solutions to the prob ?ms' of the fraternity system. The number of fraternities at Penn State has dropped at an average rate of one a year for the past 10 years, there being .1;7 houses in 1931 and 46 left today. One valid reason for this decline in fraternity for tunes lies in the higher cost to a boy's "going fraternity." One solution to this problem of keeping fraternity house bills lower. namely, cooperative buy )hg of food, has been suggested by IFC president, H. Edward Wagner '4l. and through Col legian's editorials. Although this plan of havine, fraternities I•uy food cooperatively has woused considerable campus in terest, another idea has been put forward that may be worthy of consideration. The puroose of this second Plea is to enjoy most of the )c.v cost cooperative buying ad vantages, have the services of dr" experienced dietician to plan fraternity meals, and at" the ; . .)tne time not disrupt the pres ent system of buying food through the local merchants. F;oine fraternities might be in no condition to sever such re )3tions. Such a set-up would call for s central office, staffed by a dietician and a manager. The dietician would study the ore f.?.rence of each fraternity' and give them advanced menus, ::cientifically planned for health ful balance. She would also visit each fraternity for half a day every few weeks, and in cooperation with the cooks, iron out any specific problems, such :is tough pie crust or poor cof fee. The manager would act as mediator between fraternities and merchants. He would have available market information and prevailing food prices. Thus ,he would be in a position to approach a local grocer with, "Twenty fraternities do business with you. They will all want fresh peas next Thursday. We ).now what peas are worth now ;qui will expect your price ac cordingly."

And his price will have to be "right." Another point of saving would be in correlating buying with periods of lowest prices. Also, if buying is worked out scien tifically. the prevelant factor of over-buying by fraternities would be eliminated. .Such a plan, according to one estimate. would be available to the fraternities of Penn State for $lO a month for each Parti cipating fraternity. Advocates of this plan feel that it would lower food bills enough to check that extra expense of 'going fraternity."
