PAGE TWO Behind the FMA Question Perkins Sees Cooperation Under 'loo%' Plan The Fraternity Marketing Association will make every effort to reflect the desires of its members should the Inter fraternity Council vote compulsory membership in the as sociation, Assistant Dean of Men Harold W. Perkins said vesterda V. • "That is the way it's been all along," said Perkins, who Commission To Continue Fish Probe The State Fish Commission will continue an investigation until it discovers the source of the pol lution that killed almost .VlO,OOO trout in Spring Creek last Satur day. according to William Voigt. executive director of the commis sion. "We must find the source of the pollution." he said. "We can't afford not to run down the pol lution to its source. The com mission has too great an invest ment on Spring Creek to risk the danger of further pollution.- Causes Unverified Although investigators had said that the substance of the pollu tion was ammonia or an ammonia compound. Voiet would not verify this, saving. "We're approaching the study with an open mind?' The United States Fish and Wildlife Research Station at Lee town, W. Va , has joined the in vestigation. The Department of Health laboratories in Harrisburg have been working on the investi gation from the start. Water Sampled Officials of the Fish Commis sion and the Department of Health toured the area where the fish were killed and took 30 samples of water to discover whether the composition of the water has changed since the disaster. Voight said that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has offered to replace some of the fish lost in the pollution. The Fish Commission estimated the value of the fish lost in the disaster at $lOO.OOO, the greatest such loss in the history of Penn sylvania.

L ! ,,,, WMAJ Fifth of a Series is president of the FMA Board of Trustees. He described FMA as "ready to cooperate in any way that will bring about greater ful fillment of the joint buying idea." IFC will vote Monday on a con stitutional amendment which would require membership in FMA by all members of IFC and which calls for a review of the FMA constituion and organiza tions. Sees Changes Possible Changes in the organizational structure and in the operation of the association could be brought about to meet the demands of 100 per cent fraternity participation, Perkins said_ If the IFC amendment is passed. he said, he believes the board would immediately begin investi gating other practical categori e s, especilllv in the non-food line. which FMA could move into, so that savings could be demonstra ted in these fields. Eventual Expansion Seen Although no immediate expan sion is planned, a statement by the board has expressed hopes that the association could event ually •`handle all goods and serv ices essential to the life of the fraternity." Perkins said he believes FMA should eventually employ a man ager. elected by the association's governing body and responsible to it. Ohio State Plan He said perhaps member fra ternities would be required to buy exclusively through FMA only some of the categories offered by the association. This plan is fol lowed at Ohio State University, he said, where the fraterniti must purchase all their goods in only three or four of the six cate gories offered. FMA follows this pracifee now. Under another system Perkins described as possibl.?. the frater nities could buy in a category through other sources, if they could furnish definite proof to the board that they could save more successfully this way. Alumni Reduced Rates Either of these plans would al low fraternities to take advan tages of offers of goods at reduced rates by house alumni who would not make the offer to the frater nity system as a whole, according to Perkins. He said that, in any case, 100 per cent participation in FMA would bring about large scale savings at a greater rate. with a PENN STATE SOUVENIR MEIZGERS has a fine selection to choose from YOU CAN GET IT AT THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
