Perkins Calls for More
Fraternities to Join FMA
The Fraternity Marketing Association, a non-profit or
ganizatio ndesigned to buy fraternity products in large quan
tities at a savings, is threatened with dissolvement.
This was the statement voiced at Thursday night’s Inter
fraternity Council meeting by Harold W. Perkins, assistant
dean of men and advisor to FMA.
'Kidnappers'-

encountered. They drove the goat
to the farm by 11 p.m. Sunday.
At no time did they have the
animal at their fraternity house
or elsewhere on carppus, they
said.
They returned to campus and
were at their house only 25 min
utes before Annapolis officials
telephoned. The Navy had the
license number of the car, the
name and address of the owner.
“Where is the goat,” they asked.
The officials also said they
would not press charges if the
animal was returned immediate
ly. The studew's complied with
the request.
The following day about 7 a.m.
the student got another call ask
ing for the exact location of the
farm. The Academy picked up the
goat about 3 p.m. and returned
him to his owners by Monday
night.
The students expressed their
appreciation that Navy officials
took no legal action. They said it
was only intended as a college
prank and the animal would
have been returned to the Mid
dies unharmed.
Their names were not disclosed
by the Academy.
AIM-

sion for short periods of time
may be secured from the office
of the dean of women.
Approximately 5000 cars have
been registered with the Campus
Patrol this semester.
Included on the AIM agenda
are reports on mixed dinners and
unit elections and the proposal
of a $4lOO budget for the year.
Editorial on page four
Perkins appeared * before the
fraternity presidents to ask for
total membership in the market
ing association. Of 52 fraternities,
27 do business through FMA.
Because of this low ratio, the
governing board of 12 persons
feels the association can not op
erate efficiently, he said. The
board, which is composed of five
fraternity alumni, five students,
and two members-at-large, wants
to do business at the highest level
of 52 members or wants to be
dissolved, he said.
FMA Created Four Years Ago
FMA was created four years
ago by IFC and the Association
of Fraternity Councils as a cen
tral purchasing obtain a
contract in FMA, a fraternity
must agree to buy all its canned
goods or all its meat or both
through the group.
It is chartered as a non-profit
organization. Last year it oper
ated on a budget of about $l5OO,
which it obtained by charging a
Wh. per cent discount. It employs
one secretary.
Dividend Declared
Monday night it declared a
dividend to its members on busi
ness transacted last year. The
amount is to be released as soon
as the books are tallied.
Perkins estimated that the as
sociation saved each member
fraternity about $127.50 and
about $3.50 for each man.
The question the fraternities
must ask themselves is whether
FMA is good or bad, beneficial or
something they can do just as well
without, he said.
An IFC representative said
from the floor that his house last
year lost a cook, who also bought
the food, because she did not
want to do business through
FMA. The one they have now con
tends she can buy food of better
quality at the same price as FMA

offers, he said.
Perkins suggested that the food'
vendors are selling at a lower
price than usual to undermine
FMA, and as soon as FMA is dis
solved the prices will go higher.

member from the floor.
