PAGE 7.W r A .s, a y Add Fe , teat ervice Members of the Fraternity Marketing Association Board of Trus tees agreed Monday to investigate further the possibility of adding meats and furniture to their list of items they supply University fraternities, Most urgent and ldgical addition, members thought, was meat since surveys show many of the 25 fraternities which use FMA services have meat bills of up to $6OO each month. Judging from this, they would be able to do at least $12,500 worth of business monthly, a spokesman said. Robert K. Murray, president of the organization, explained that including meats would also finan cially enable FMA to hire a part time secretary to do its clerical work. The expense of about $2OO a month would be borne by a 2 I per cent service charge on all I sales, he said. Twice-monthly Payments _ Audience Turns Critic Coleman Play Opens Tonight As Experiment Audience reaction will play a major role in Players' presenta tion of "Pillars in the Night," at 8 tonight in the Little Theater, basement of Old Main.

Coleman. who is now on the staff of Slippery Rock Stat' Teachers College. will be present at the performances to study aud ience reaction to his play in its present form. Although he has written other plays for Five O'- clock Theatre. "Pillars in the Night" will be his first full-length production completely staged by Players. The play, which concerns a ri fle squad's adventures in the last days of World War 11, is based on Coleman's personal recollections of army life. .Free tickets for the three per formances are available in the Dramatics office, second floor of - Schwab Auditorium. William S. Smith, associate professor of dra matics, who -taught Coleman in playwrighting courses last year, is 'director for "Pillars." Two Freshman Coeds Describe Peron. Dictatorship in Argentina By PADDY BEAHAN A crowd gathers to watch 30 policemen make a menacing ring around an "enemy of the people." The enemy is a little boy with a toy gun. A policeman tells him grimly to "put the gun away." That situation typifies Argen tina under Juan Peron's dictator ship as described by two fresh man coeds who have just left that country. The freshmen are Gillian Ham er, who went to school in Argen tina for six years, and Marian Weaver, whose father is economic attache at the American consulate in Buenos Aires. Scene is Actual Marian's sister actually wit nessed the scene described above in front of a newspaper building in Buenos Aires. Gillian, who started school in Argentina the year Peron came to power and left Argentina the year he was re-elected, said that few dare speak against him. "You are careful what you say even in taxi cabs," she said. "Any one might be an informer." The resistance against Peron, Gillian said, centers around the university students, who ,are al ways being jailed. Gillian attend ed an English-owned school in Argentina and the students there were told to be particularly care ful what they said and to whom they talked because the govern ment was just waiting for an ex cuse to close. down all foreign owned schools. Peron has the working people behind him, largely due to the ef forts of his wife, Evita, who died of cancer over a year ago. In de scribing how solemnly the first anniversary of Evita's death was celebrated, Marian told of one THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Offers have already been made by several meat selling ,concerns to supply the member houses' needs, he reported, and discounts of up to 12 per cent were included. Before any are accepted, how ever, he emphasized, all dealers in the area would be given a chance to secure the contract by competitiye bidding. If a meat service was found to be feasible, Murray said, it would be started the coming semester— either the first of February or the first of March. At the beginning, he said, it would undoubtedly be necessary for FMA to alter its constitution and allow payments by fraternities for meat to be made twice each month. Bids would probably be ac cepted at two different times dur ing the semester, he said. This would give all dealers in meats, including f ish and fowl, more chances to capture the group's business, he said. Additional Items Planned ' The probability of FMA's go ing into furniture supply was called even more remote than the meat. The discussion was caused by the inquiries of several inter ested parties who said they might be able to offer up to 35 per cent discounts for volume purchases. Other items which the group is going to investigate as possible additions to their canned goods (Continued on page eight) group of men who were jailed for three, days for playing cards on the eve of the anniversary. And the prayers read over ,the radio, she said, were not for Evita but to her. Labor Profits Under Peron Workers have profited by the Peron rule, the girls said, but the cost of living has risen 300 per cent and prices have risen more than wages. Gillian, who is a citizen of Bra zil, came to Penn State. University because her father was a student here and a member of the varsity football team in the early 20s. He is now with the Armour Co. in Brazil. A brother, Richard, also attends the University and 'a younger brother at home plans to come here: - Gillian is majoring in business administration. She has gone to school in Uruguay and Argen tina and can speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Surprised at Football Despite her fath,er's coaching, she wasn't prepared for football. One thing that surpriSed her was that life for the football player isn't all "party party" as her father's descriptions indicated. Marian, a rugby fan, has also been converted- to football. By English standards she thinks she gets pretty excited at football games. At cricket a n d rugby m at c h e s, she explained, fans sometimes let themselves go with some restrained clapping and a "jolly good." Marian's father is a former eco nomics instructor at the Univer sity. She is majoring in languages with the idea of going into the diplomatic service, possibly the American Information Service. From Oklahoma to Argentina She was born in Oklahoma, lived in Washington, D.C. until she was eight, in Peru until she was 11, and. in England until she Weather to Stay Cloudy, Cold The weather today will con tinue cloudy and colder, with scattered snow flurries, Charles A. Weintraub of the University Weather Station said late yester day afternoon. Temperatures were expected to drop to ; 20 degrees by early this morning. The big snow storm from the Midwest which was expected to blanket Centre County moved off Monday night with strong winds, including gusts up to 50 miles per hour. 3 Admit Theft At Fraternity The Association of Independent Men's Judicial Board of Review Monday night recommended of fice probation until the end of the spring semester for three stu dents who admitted stealing food from Alpha Chi Rho Dec. 5. Office probation means that if a student is involved in further disciplinary action, the Dean of Men's office will enter the offense on his permanent record. The Dean of Men must accept the board's recommendation before probation will go into effect. Two of the three students ap peared before the board. The third was given permission by John Ball, board chairman, to be absent on condition he would accept the penalty given the two who appeared before the board. The students paid for the stolen items, two hams and seven boxes of tomatoes, and apologized to the fraternity.

Both girls found it hard at first to adjust to the pace of living which is faster and more me chanical here than what they were used to. They are pretty well settled now except, like any Penn State coed, they miss the home cooking, especially the meat dishes. Fillet mignon can be had in Argentina for 35 cents a pound.
