IFCPA
Plan I
Operations
The Inter-Fraternity Coun
cil Purchasing Association Ex
ecutive Committee will meet
Monday night to discuss de
rails for hiring a permanent
manager and further plan its
operation.
IFCPA was devised to take the
place of the Fraternity Marketing
Association -which was dropped
earlier this semester because not
enough fraternities were inter
ested in continuing it.
■The IFCPA Executive Commit
tee has had representatives con
tact various vendors to determine
what type of system could be
set up and what these vendors
could offer the association.
The vendors were given an es
timate as to how much volume
business they could expect to re
ceive from fraternities in the
IFCPA. These findings will also
be discussed at the Monday night
meeting.
The committee will also dis
cuss the amount of service charge
they will levy on fraternities in
return for the services they will
provide,- and the promotional
plans for presenting their setup
to the individual houses.
The plan is scheduled to. be
presented to fraternities within
two weeks, according to Leslie
Phillabaum, executive committee
chairman^
=IFCPA is headed by a board
of directors which is directly re
sponsible to the Inter-Fraternity
Council. FMA did not have this
in its organizational structure
and was not . directly responsible
to IFC.

Boss Costello's
Attacker Sought
NEW YORK, May 3 (JP) —Po-
lice searched futilely today for a
gunman who last night shot and
slightly wounded Frank Costello,
former “boss of the racketeers.”
More than 60 detectives were
assigned to the task in hopes of
heading off a possible outbreak
of underworld warfare.
Officials said they wanted to
get the gunman before “friends"
of the 65-year-old Costello caught
up with him.
Apparently believing that an
other attempt on Costello’s life
also was possible, they posted two
detectives in the lobby of the
Central Park West apartment
house where Costello lives.

U.S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles and West German
Foreign Minister Heinrich von
Brentano led members of the
North Atlantic Treaty Council in
strongly appealing to Bussia to
release the East Germans into a
free and reunified Germany.
The NATO ministers warned
the restless population of East
[Germany against any “impru
dence” which could only increase
| their sufferings, and might touch
|off global conflict if they at
tempted a Budapest-type revolt.
| Disarmament Plea Expected
I Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-
Henri Spaak, who becomes NATO
secretary general later this
month, was delegated to write a
j communique embodying these
■ideas. It was expected to include
an urgent plea to Bussia for pro
gress on disarmament and East-
West problems in general,
j Stressing the human as well as
■ political problems involved in the
continued division of his country,
Von Brentano warned his fellow
ministers: “There are situations]
in which the suffering, caused by
oppression, and the moral and
material misery reach limits
where-reason no longer dictates
action, and where desperation
and a just anger break out with
the violence of a volcanic erup
tion.”
German Violence Hinted
The West German Minister
again used the volcano as an ex
ample of the situation in East
Germany when he stated: “A sys
jtem of European security, estab
lished without a prior solution of
| this German reunification prob
lem, would be based on a vol
cano.”
Dulles told the Council that
Bussia must end the split of Ger
many "before its injustices be
come intolerable.”

Coed Drops
Council Seat
Over Voting
A coed has resigned from the
Liberal Arts Student Council be
cause she was accused of attempt
ing to influence voters at a poll
ing place during student council
elections.
In a letter of resignation to Ro
bert Nurock, council president,
the coed said she was innocent
of the charges but was resigning
to preserve the dignity of the
council.
Nurock declined to name the
coed.
Influenced by Editorial
The coed said her decision to
(resign was influenced by an edi
torial in the April 10 issue of
The Daily Collegian- which re
ferred to “unsavory practices . . .
going on in council elections for
some time.”
The editorial said:
At the Liberal Arts polling
place in Waring Hall last week
a candidate seeking re-election
was in complete charge of the
polls and was allegedly influen
cing voters. This candidate was
re-elected.”
Was "No One Else'
This coed was in charge of the
polls, the editorial said, partly be
cause “there was no one else to
do it.”
Shortly before the editorial ap
peared, Nurock asked All-Univer
sity Cabinet to put council elec
tions under the jurisdiction of
the All-University Elections Com
mittee. His motion to do so was
tabled.
Nurock said the Intercollege
Council Board is now studying
the proposal and other alterna
tives.
