The committee members ex
pressed a desire to have definite
plans to present at an IFCPA
Board of Directors meeting Sun
day night and the IFC meeting
Monday to have the plans taken
back to individual fraternities
and give them a chance to act
on the program before the se
mester ends.
Service Charge Included
Features of the plan to be pre
sented 'at the board of directors
meeting Sunday include a service
charge to be levied on fraternities
in return for the sendee IFCPA
could give them. This sendee
charge would include original
outlay, deposit and total expen
ses.
The committee also plans to
present a method of hiring a staff
—particularly a method of hiring
a paid, permanent manager who
might possibly be a graduate as
sistant and reecive a salary equiv
alent to that of most graduate as
sistants.
David Tressler, chairman of
the committee in charge of frat
ernity promotion, will present a
method of presenting IFCPA's
setup to individual houses at the
meeting.
The committee will also present
types of contracts that would
exist between fraternities and
IFCPA, and between IFCPA and
vendors.
5 Per Cent Discount
Vendors, who have been con
tacted by members of the execu
tive committee, have indicated
that they will be willing to give
members of IFCPA discounts up
to five per cent. Committee mem
bers who had approached them
said the vendors indicated that a
discount exceeding five per cent
would be too large and would
cause a raising of prices or a loss
of quality or both.
These committee members also
said that the vendors expressed
a desire that orders be received
at least a day in advance.
Lesile Phillabaum, IFCPA pres
ident, will present the findings
and recommendations of the ex
ecutive committee at the IFC
