The Interfraternity Council
last night voted unanimously
to assume the initial expendi
tures of the Interfraternity
Coupncil Purchasing Associa
tion, which will hire a perma-j
nent manager to handle the busi-!
ness of the association.
Leslie Phillabaum, president of
the board of directors of IFCPA,
moved that "IFC assume the ini
tial expenditures of IFCPA ne-'
cessary to establish IFCPA as an
operating entity, the IFC funds
to be repaid Without interest by
IFCPA before the end of the aca
demic year of 1957-58.”
The motion passed without a
dissenting vote. .
Methods of Operation Outlined
In outlining the methods of op
eration of IFCPA to the IFC,
Phillabaum explained that dur
ing the summer the IFCPA will
sign contracts with vendors deal
ing with meat, frozen foods and
canned goods.
He explained the method of
levying a service charge on frat
ernities with the following scale:
If 20 fraternities join IFCPA, the
service charge for each will be
$l5; 30 fraternities—sl2, and 40
fraternities—s 10.
Deal With Approved .Vendors
Phillabaum explained, that
members of IFCPA must deal on
ly'with vendors approved by the
the association; except in the case
of emergencies.
.Fraternity members would also
have to , pay one-quarter of their
estimated monthly expenses on
September .10 and another quar
, ter of their . estimated ■ monthly
expenses on September 2.0, so
IFCPA would have money to op
erate in the beginning of the fall
semester.
Lists Advantages
Phillabaum also listed what he
considered to be the advantages
IFCPA would give individual
fraternities.
They are:
- • Constant quality checks
through the permanent manager,,
which would assure fraternities
that they are getting the quality
for which they are paying.
• The asociation has permission
to go to any department in the
University for assistance.
• The cooperative buying plan
•would help to eliminate unskilled
buying by fraternities, which is

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Present
Series
By DAVE FINEMAN
International understanding as
a goal is probably as old as the
history of nations.
_ But today, in the light of world
wide tensions and fearsome wea
pons, it has taken on a new mean
ing: it is vital to the existence of
civilization; and it is a problem
that every student will inherit,
whether he wants to pr not.
4 io View Topic
In these articles, international
understanding will be viewed by
a scientist (Dr. Walker), a politi
cal scientist (Dr. Neal Riemer), a
theologist (Dr. Luther H. Harsh
barger), an artist (Dr. Albert
Christ-Janer) and a sociologist
(Dr. Margaret B. Matson).
Dr. Walker, formerly dean of
the College of Engineering and
Architecture, wil discuss what in
ternational understanding means
to "an engineer.
Dr. Riemer, in his article, “In
ternational Understanding and
World Affairs.” will speak of the
importance of college students
jtaking a “continuing interest” in
the realm pf international affairs.
Will Discuss Decisions
Dr. Harshbarger, writing on
“Religion and International Un
derstanding” will look at the mor
al and political decisions a person
must make in the face of “a time
of great revolution” in history.
Dr. Christ-Janer, writing on
“International Understan ding
Through the Arts,” will talk of
the international nature of art
and its abilities and limitations as
a means to international under

Walker
On AM
President Eric A. Walker did “a reporting !job” to the
Board of Trustees Executive Committee over the weekend
on what has been done toward obtaining a student-run, non
commercial AM radio station. J
The committee took no action. ‘ |
Walker, according to a University spokesman, told the
trustees the University does not]
have the funds at this time to
build the station and that “a ra
ther large number of students”
are interested in obtaining a sta
tion.
He brought the trustees up to!
date on action taken toward the!
establishment of the station, in-j
eluding the search and discovery
of an unclaimed AM frequency
in the State College area.
Committee Seeks Money
Meanwhile, a special All-Uni
versity Cabinet committee trying
to obtain the necessary money for
the proposed station was working
, over the weekend.
The committee is seeking to re
allocate a student press fund for
construction of the station. The
fund, which totals approximately
$28,000, was accumulated through
gifts by the classes of ’4B, ’49, ’5O
and ’32.
The committee prepared a let
ter to be sent to the presidents
and the .secretaries of these class
es asking that they consider poll
ing their class members on re
allocation of the fund.
The amount of the fund is ex
pected to about pay for the costs
of building the station, estimated
at between $20,000 and $30,000.
Committee Work Hatted
The committee is now at a
stand-still until it hears from the
class officers.
. The procedure for re-alloca
tion of the funds is as follows:
If the class presidents and sec
retaries agree to poll their class
members, then they would write
a letter to the Alumni Association
requesting that it do the polling.
It takes a majority of those class
members responding to approve
the re-allocation of the gift. If
the class members approve, then
final approval is needed from the!
Board of Trustees.

gutted a Traveler’s Lodge Motel
apartment. The apartment was
occupied by three University stu
dents and a former student.
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Frank,
owners of the motel, said the

planned to determine the fire’s
origin. W
Occupants of the apartment were

Rocco, the former student.
At least one of the students re
portedly lost all his personal
possessions except the clothes he
was wearing. Two white shirts
were the only usable articles of
clothing left ’from the blaze, as
smoke and water damage was
high, according to the report. At
least one of the students did not
carry any insurance.
The fire started at about 6 p.m.

Dißocco and Kreps, who saw
sparks shooting 20 to 30 feet
away from the apartment. They
notified the Alpha Fire Company
from a nearby diner.
