6 Chapel
Fund Uses
Suggested
Six proposals for the use of the
Chapel offering after June 30
were discussed by a committee of
18 students, faculty and s,t af f
members yesterday afternoon.
Three of the six proposals were
patterned on the precedent of in
ternational contact set by the
Penn' State-in-China project. 'For
the past 40 years the Chapel offer
ing has been contributed toward
work at Lingnan University, Can
ton, China. Since the communists
refuse to allow the money to en
ter the country, the project is
being abandoned.
One of the three projects would
contribute the offering to ward
Allahabad Agricultural Institute,
the Christian college of rural life
for India founded by Samuel Hig
ginbottom about 1910.
Another suggestion is that the
money be contributed to Silliman
University, in the Phillippine Is
lands, ' to be" used in its general
educational program or in a spe
cial agricultural mission project.
Boyd Bell, who is in charge of the
project, and Dr. Arthur L. Car
son, president of Silliman Uni
versity, are both alumni of the
College.
The third suggestion with a
view to maintaining international
contact was that the money
should be contributed to the
World Student Service Fund, ei
ther as a general contribution or
for some specific project, such as
the Punjab Camp College of the
University of Delhi.
Three of
,the suggestions were
for local projects. One was the
building of an International House
or center at the College.
A fifth suggestion was the build

Fraternities
Hear Joint
Buying Plan
By TED SOENS
With Patrick Boner, of the Eco
nomics and Commerce Depart
ment acting as chairman .pro tern,
the first plans for a joint buying
program were introduced to some
40 fraternity house members last
night at a meeting of the Associa
tion of Fraternity Counselors and
Fraternity Management Associa
tion.
This plan is an attempt to copy
a highly successful buying - plan
that has been in effect at Ohio
State University for 20 years.
The plan, if accepted by the
fraternities, would save money
for the houses and thus cut down
the house bills. This program was
started three years ago and has
met with a lot of opposition. The
opposition has asserted that the
plan was on too large a scale.
In view of this, Boner said that
the fraternities could have a trial
item, such a• potatoes, which they
could buy on a two to four week
plan. A set price would be agreed
upon at the beginning. The pota
toes would then be bought in a
large group and thus save money,
for the fraternities.
