FAGE TWO Full Fraternities Seen; FMA Begins Operation IFC Announces Rushing Plans Fraternities are in better shape in regard to capacity and number of men this fall than any other period since the war, Arthur Ros feld, president of the Interfrater nity Council, announced yester day. This is because freshman stu dents now come directly to the campus and thus fewer transfer students are coming to campus each year, he said. IFC will check averages of all pledges soon, Rosfeld said, merely as a formality. He added that pledges will be expected to sign the pledge book at the Student Union desk in Old Main at a date to be announced later. Any men students living in town who wish to live in College dormitories should contact Ros feld. IFC will try to arrange a switch between those wishing to get into the dormitories and those wishing to pledge and live at fra ternities. IFC has announced a fraternity orientation plan for freshman men. Under this, plan, freshmen will receive the IFC fraternity magazine and a card which will allow them to name the fraternity of their choice. An open house in all fraterni ties is being planned so that the freshmen may become better ac quainted with the fraternities. Rosfeld said that the frosh will be treated as guests and will be expected to act as guests. Any questions that a freshman may have about fraternities should be directed to his resident counselor. These men will answer all questions or will direct the student to a person who can give him the information he seeks. Rosfeld added that it was per fectly proper for the student to write to the president or any member of a fraternity to ask questions ab.out that house and to ask for an invitation to the house.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA 15 Fraternities Receive Food The large-scale buying plan for fraternities, set up last year by the Fraternity Management As sociation, was put in motion this month when 15 fraternities re ceived their first supply of food. FMA, previously known as the Fraternity Management Associa tion, will be incorporated soon as the Fraternity Marketing Associ ation, William Hafley. chairman of the association, said. Under the,, FMA plan, member fraternities are offered an 18 per cent saving on canned goods in their food budgets. These savings are made possible through large scale buying from wholesalers. Because goods bought in quantity can be purchased more cheaply and because dealers will have re duced credit-carrying expenses, substantial savings are possible. The pilot plan this fall-will in clude only canned goods and po tatoes, but as it becomes more successful, will expand to include all foods, Hafley said. The 15 members being served under the program this year are: Acacia, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Zeta, Beta Sig ma Rho, Beaver House, Delta Chi, Delta Theta Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Sig ma Kapßa, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sig ma Pi, Theta Kappa Phi, and Tri angle. Each member will send repre sentatives to a food purchasing committee. This committee will buy the food on the basis of sug gestions made by the School of Home Economics. Quality and variety will be selected by that school. Goods are bought from whole salers offering quality at the most reasonable prices. John Haugh and Son of State College is the dealer who will make deliveries to members every two weeks. A deposit of $lOO is required for association membership.

Senate Approves Cut Proposals Although no definite rule has been established concerning class cuts preceding and following scheduled vacations, the College Senate has adopted several specific and general recommendations made by the special committee on vacation absences. Included in the four specific recommendations was the follow ing statement: “The faculty of each school adopting a school-wide policy of giving quizzes in the last class meeting in each course which oc curs within the 24-hour period be fore a vacation.” The committee also recommend ed that these quizzes should cov er only a small part of the course, but should carry enough weight on the final gi;ade so that the stu dent will consider it advisable to be present. Absences Tabulated Student government, in the opinion of the committee, should assume responsibility for secur ing student attendance at classes. The Registrar’s office should continue to receive reports on class cuts before and after va cations and reports on the num ber of excused absences, accord ing to the committee. The committee also urged that tabu lated reports on these absences be distributed throughout the College. The committee recommended that the President or provost of the'College request that deans of the schools call to the attention of,class room teachers' the impor tance of attendance before and after vacations. Committee Reported This reminder from the 'Presi dent’s office might be given be fore every vacation for at least the coming year, the committee recommefided. The committee also reported that: “It is not a question of pro tecting each student against him self but rather of preventing the disintegration of the classes to the point that several class periods in,each semester are substantially lost.” The committee said it felt com pulsive measures based upon Col lege rules are not feasible at this time. It conceded that if non compulsive measures are found to be ineffective, more strict meas ures would be needed.
