Fire safety awareness stressed by IFC
By JEANETTE KREBS
Collegian Staff Writer
Increased awareness of fire safety hazards was
one of the issues discussed at the semester’s first
Interfraternity Council meeting last night.
IFC President Maury Billig stressed to the
fraternity presidents and representatives the im
portance of fire safety, especially against arson, at
the meeting at Chi Phi fraternity, 360 E. Hamilton
Ave.
“We have had two fires in a four month period
which is pretty severe considering in the past, the
number was more like one in every five years,”
Billig said.
He said the IFC will prepare a booklet con
taining information on fire safety plans for the
fraternity houses.
Billig also said the IFC will begin a fire marshall

The president of Mr. Charles Shops
yesterday presented a $l,OOO check to
the Central Pennsylvania Festival of
the Arts in appreciation for the busi

Nick Petnick said the check rep

earned from sales of furs during a
“Fabulous Furs Fund-Raiser” for the
festival held at Mr. Charles, 228 E.
College Ave., last July 12,13, and 14.
Petnick said that he presented the
check “to show my appreciation and
support for the job that the Arts
Festival has done and thank them for
the business that I have generated
(from) people that have come to the
Arts Festival.”

well and elevator were necessary
for the garage to function normal
ly. Wiser said the elevator would
have to be installed later and
would ultimately cost more. '
Berner asked if construction
could not be delayed for one year
and new bids be solicited. Wiser
replied that the borough’s counsel
ors believe now is a fairly advan
tageous time to seek bond money.
And Carlin said construction costs
are constantly rising and he did
not believe rebids would come in
lower.

badly needed. Side streets are
parked solid as far from the down

The motion to award the con

In related action, the council
voted to [authorize the borough to
seek bond money totalling more
than $5.5 million for the construc

The fund-raiser and check presen
tation marked the first time that a
merchant held a sale and gave a
percentage of the proceeds to the Arts
Festival, Marilyn Varcoe, co-chair
woman of publicity for the festival,
said.
The check will help, pay for the
festival, which is funded entirely
through contributions, said Varcoe,
who was on hand for the check pre
sentation. Among the expenses are
exhibitions, performing arts, admin
istration and maintenance, artists in
action and children’s events, she
said.
Varcoe said festival officials also
value what other businesses have
done in the past, and she hopes they
will continue to help in the future.
