FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1953 Fraternity Buying Power Merged Through FMA Fraternity Marketing Association is a_ nonprofit organization designed to coordinate the buying power of fraternities. FMA was legally . incorporated last January when it replaced the Association of Fraternity Counselors, an Interfraternity Council joint buying committee. FMA is open to any •chartered fraternity and at present is composed of 25 members. Last semester FMA buying was limited to canned goods and-pota toes, but present plans call for ex pansion into fuel oil, coal, hard ware, furniture, and laundry items. Resembles Checking Account Any fraternity wishing to affil iate with FMA may petition the FMA board of trustees for member ship. A deposit of $lOO must be submitted to the association. Upon approval of the board of trustees, the group is accepted and has a voice and vote in FMA affairs. The $lOO is added to the associa tion's buying capital but remains the property of the individual frat ernity. The system resembles a bank checking account. With each fraternity's order, FMA deducts the correct amount from the frat ernity's deposit. At the end of the month the fraternity is required to restore its original deposit to the association. $16,000 Business Last Year Each participating member fraternity has one representative on FMA. The FMA board of trus tees is the governing - and policy making body of the association. It is composed of five members from the alumni groups of mem ber fraternities, five student rep resentatives, and two trustees-at large who need not be from mem ber groups. Dr. Robert K. Murray, assistant professor of history, is president of the board of trustees. Since its inception last fall, the organization has done approxi mately $16,000 worth of business with savings from four to five per cent. Present members of FMA are Acacia, Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Zeta, Beaver House, -Beta Sigma Rho, Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Theta.

Employment Service Has Dual Function Student Employment Service, division of College placement, maintains a full scale employment agency that carries a two-fold purpose in its year-round operation. The service helps finance students through college with part-time jobs and seeks to promote better College-borough-student relations. Th e service was founded in 1947 by Alan Reese, then a grad uate student in psychology. Its office was located in the TUB. In 1948, the service, still in the grow ing stage, moved to 420 Old Main with full time status. It moved to its present offices, 112 Old Main, in 1950. John Huber, present director; took over Reese's duties in Feb ruary, 1952. Handled 3400 Job Requests The office is open from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. It will be open from 8 a.m. to noon to morrow and Sept. 26, Huber said. Phone number of the service is 2049. By watching the gazette sec tion of the Collegian students may find requests for student help for unusual jobs or for jobs that must be filled immediately, Huber said. Last year, the service filed cards for 1634 students who registered for part-time employment. During that period, the service handled 3400 single job requests. The s e r vic e acts as a go-be tween, a clearing house, between employers and students desiring part-time jobs on campus, in town, or adjacent territory. Part-time jobs for men Students desiring part-time jobs should file., application cards at the beginning of each semester so the service may have a complete class hour schedule, Huber said. Stu dents are advised to keep in close contact with the office, rather than wait for the service to contact them. Part-time positions most fre quently open for men include window - washing, floor - waxing, and a variety of seasonal outdoor jobs. Part-time jobs for women in clude general housework, baby sitting, clerical work, general of fice work, and library work. Agencies Train Students The service maintains dry cleaning, news, magazine, and floral agencies run by students. The news agency, started in 1948, is the oldest. The dry cleaning agency was begun in 1949, the floral agency in 1950, and the mag azine agency in 1951. All agencies were started under the direction of Reese. -• Agencies were designed to give students business training in a more permanent type of work. The service also supplies food service, wait erg in College-run units, town boarding houses, and .fraternities.
