those given to non-member
houses.
Previously, food vendors deal
ing with FMA had given the frat
ernity buying agent the same dis
count as they were giving to non
member houses. After FMA sub
tracted its % per cent service
charge, non-member houses were
receiving larger discounts than
FMA members.
Bids to Be Restrictive
The bids, which will be sent to
vendors sometime next week, will
specify that the vendor must give
FMA enough discount so that
members will be receiving % per
cent larger discount than non
member houses after the service
charge is subtracted.
Harold W. Perkins, assistant
dean of men and president of the
FMA board of trustees, said yes
terday that FMA was not trying
to stop vendors from dealing with
non-member houses. The board of
trustees, he said, is merely trying
to give FMA members a fair deal.
Progress Report Heard
The board also heard a progress
report which showed there was a
21 per cent increase in total vol
ume so far this year. As of Dec. 1
last year, the report said, total
sales were $33,500. The report
listed total sales as of Dec. 1 this
year as $40,600.
The board officially accepted
Delta Tau Delta and Pi Lambda
Phi petitions for membership. Al
pha Sigma Phi's withdrawal was
also approved. The new members
bring FMA membership to 28.
There were 21 participating mem
