Joint Buying
Set Up
By MOYLAN MILLS
Interfraternity council last
night approved in principle a
constitution for a Fraternity
Management association to jointly
buy all fraternity supplies.
IFC also passed a motion to
publish the IF C Newsletter in
conjunction with Panhellenic
council, and heard a report on the
IFC-Panhel sing.
Boner Explains
Patrick J. Boner, economics in
structor at the College, and Allan
Uhl, FMA committee chairman,
explained the FMA set up. Boner
said the next step would be to
have the Association' of Frater
nity Counsellors approve the
management program in princi
ple and then have FMA incorpor
ated.
The association is tentatively
scheduled to go into operation
next fall, Boner said. He said
FMA could' be set •up -now but
did not have to go Into operation
until later if the national econ
omic situation were bad.
Would Buy Foodstuffs
Boner said the organization
would primarily buy foodstuffs
at first and then branch out. He
said the constitution was based
on that of a similar organization
in operation at Ohio State uni
versity.
This organizationdoes $750,000
worth of business and saves the
Ohio State fraternities $2,000 an
nually, Boner said. He said the
constitution has been fitted to the
Penn State fraternity system and
may be changed if future need
arises.
Boner said the association
would be run by a paid manager.
He said it would be administered
by a board of trustees including
fraternity alumni and students:

Soccer Team's
Trip Canceled
The Penn State soccer team,
making quiet plans for a pro
posed 15,000 mile round-trip to
Iran, had to postpone indefi
nitely the project because of
political upheavals in the Near
East country, Wilmer E. Ken
worthy, Director of Student
Affairs, said yesterday.
Bill Jeffrey's national cham
pionship teajn was selected by
the U.S. State department to
represent the country in a
series of soccer games planned
for three weeks in ApriL
Internal uprisals in ]ran
made the project doubtful from
the beginning and finally the
trouble culminated in the as
sassination of the I r ani an
prime minister. The College re
ceived word yesterday that the
trip was postponed.
The project had been kept
_confidential because the Col
lege had not given final ap
proval to the athletic trip.
About 18 men would have had
to miss nearly three weeks of
classes.
Jeffrey conducted practice
sessions twice this week in
preparation. Some of the play
ers were already getting class
assignments so that the work
could be done before or during
the trip. Most of the plans were
being made by the government
so that little was known at
Penn" State except that the
State department had selected
the Lion team.

5 Changes
Proposed In
AIM Rules
By GEORGE GLAZER
Five amendments to the present
constitution of the Association of
Independent Men's board of gov
ernor's constitution were pro
posed at the meeting of the board
last night.
According to tire constitution
of the group, the proposed amend
ments must be read at two con
secutive meetings before being
voted upon.
The board also brought in Dr.
George Guthrie, chief resident
advisor for all male dorm areas;
Frank Simes, chief resident ad
visor for the West dorm area; and
Joseph Errigo, chief resident ad
visor for the Nittany-Pollock
area, for a discussion of the pres
ent dorm advisor system.
First Amendment
The first of the five constitu
tional amendments would change
the election requirements for rep
resentatives-at-large from election
by the various councils to election
by the residents of the area under
the jurisdiction of the council.
The amendment would also add
the stipulation that in case of
districts wher6 less than 500 men
reside, one representative would
be appointed. The second change
would delete the section describ
ing ex-officio members, and adds
that the chairmen of the project,
social, publicity and athletic com
mittees, as well as the editor of
the Independent, may be mem
bers of the board or ex-officio
members.
Minimum Number
In order to accommodate the
Pollock dorm council and West
dorm and Town councils, the
minimum number of men in a
district would be 20, with the
maximum number 200. Under
elections, it was suggested that
the new board members be select-
(continued on page eight)
was 50 per cent, which was reach
ed last fall.
In Tuesday's election 100 per
cent of the residents in the Wom
en's building, Mac Allister hall,
and the three home management
houses voted.
Election officials believe the
rise in voting percentage has
come about from the convenient
placement of voting stations in
the women's dormitories and the
longer hours for voting.

Costumes, Given By Mrs. Staley
Costumes, planned by Marilyn
Wilson, were taken from a col
lection of Mrs. Thomas Staley, of
State College. Since the play
deals with the pre-flapper era.
it was necessary to unearth dress
es with long ankle -length skirts
and almost non-existent waist
lines.
A search for the old-time cos
tumes uncovered some material
among various members of the
faculty. However, the discovery
of Mrs. Staley's clothes collection,
found in an attic, provided nearly
all the dresses needed for the
show.
Reports Will
Be Heard
By Cabinet

grams, and aims of the organiza
tions for the future.
All-College President Robert
Davis said that the meeting will
be held in Atherton hall in order
to make it easier for women stu
dents to attend. Attempts will be
made in the future to find oth
er more convenient sites for cab
inet meetings, Davis said.
The final vote on the appropri
ation of $l5O for the payment of
the dues to the National Student
association will be taken tonight.
Two votes are necessary for ap
propriations over $lOO. The initial
vote was passed by cabinet, 21-2.
