Some IS met at the Sheldon ,ite are bow pouring a a d forming walls, pouring floors and placing . e b a r s la the walls, Reglin said. All the craftsmen came back except the iron work ers, but work in that area is going oa with other help, fee said.

The meeting has been tenta tively scheduled with Dr. Otto Hoiberg, director of the Hall of Youth, for Dec. 25Jan. 1. The purpose of the Associ ation is to coordinate the ac tions of all the Big 8 student councils, as weU as putting the student councils on a common basis for the exchange of ideas and minutes. Jim Samples, Student Council vice-president, as one of the five delegates who at tended last year's meeting had this to say: "We dis cussed such issues as the Na tional Student Association's executive council, women's hours, student publications and other matters dealing with campus life." "Because the president had been severely injured in an auto accident before the con ference, however, the dele gates were forced to organize the conference on arrival, making the effectiveness of the program and exchange of Ideas less than it could have been," continued Samples. Al Plummer, chairman of the Student Council nomina tions committee, was elected vice-president of the Associa tion at the meeting. Council May Give NIA Vole Status The Student Council took strps Wednesday to add an other organizational repre sentative to the Council, ac cording to President Steve Gage.

With this statement, John Nolon, executive secretary for the Interfraternity Council (IFC) introduced a report pro posing the adoption of The Fraternity Management As sociation. Xolon, who compiled and edited the report, stated in his opening remarks that "at present the fraternal organiza tions at Nebraska are not tak ing advantage of a method of financial operation proven successful at many other col leges." The main purpose of the Fraternity Management As sociation (FMA) as stated in the Articles of Incorporation is: ... to provide facilities and personnel through which 3,600 Bandsmen on Field Mass Color, Music, Sound Is '61 Band Day Pageant An inspiring mass of color, motion and sound is created by the annual University pageant that is Band Day. This Saturday, University Band Day will bring 68 high school bands from throughout the state to Lincoln to partici pate in this 25th annual tradition. More than 3,600 high school bandsmen plus the University band will be coordinated into a significant theme by Prof. Donald Lentz, director of the University of Nebraska bands. Prof. Lentz took part in the original Band Day Festival in 1331. He will be assisted by Jack Snider, Wesley Heist, and the University band fraternity, Gam ma Lambda. The idea for Band Day was formed in 1934 by John Selleck, former chancellor of the University, and at that time busi ness manager of the athletic department IS Bands in '21 Selleck invited 15 community bands to participate and 11 attended. During World War II the number of bands taking part had grown to 30 and since that time the number has grown to 68. The rapid growth of the event made.it necessary to invite each band only once every three years. The colorful assembly will spell out America as the combined bands play "America the Beautiful" and as the baton I Is- eyw i - 4 BAND DAY, CARD SECTION PERCISION BIG W A P the member societies can pur chase food, supplies, fuel, furniture, equipment and serv ices in order to secure the benefits accuring from coop erative action." Purchasing Agent The FMA will function as a centralized purchasing as sociation which would act as the bargaining agent for its members, arranging for the purchase of commissary and household needs at prices and discounts not possible to in dividual members, i The FMA would function as a non-profit organization and as such would be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nebraska; it would be owned and operated by the men's and women's fratern ities at the' University. The IFC's role In the FMA would be that of taking the 1'" V. Me$ ; The Nebraskan separate organization by pro viding funds and research fa cilities necessary for construc tion of the basic organization. The structure of the FMA as given in a sample constitu tion contained in the report stated that membership is available to any fraternity, sorority, or cooperative club officially recognized by the Board of Trustees of the FMA. FMA Policy The policy of the FMA will be determined at an annual meeting of representatives from every member organiza tion. A Board of Trustees is then elected by the convention and will serve in carrying out the corporate powers, prop erty and affairs of the asso ciation subject to the consti tution and by-laws of the FMA. twirlent spell out "1776." The bands will then spell eat "U.S.A." as they play the "Star Spangled Banner" and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Band programs throughout the state are furthered by Band Day as many bands choose this time to unveil various innova tions and all practice particularly bard for the event Early Hour Trips An indication of the honor it is to partici pate in Band Day is the fact that many bands from western Nebraska cities start in the early morning hours in order to arrive in Lincoln in time for the down town parade at 9:15 a.m. The band route this year will be from Memorial Stadium south on 10th Street to O; east to 14th; north to R; west to 12th; and then north to the Stadium. The University Band and Hoskerettes w ill direct the high school band members in rehearsing. Snack lunches are provided for the bandsmen by the Downtown Lin coln Association and will be served by University Builders. The University tele vision station will televise the parade live for the third consecutive year and will re lay it to KETV in Omaha. The Band Day is a day of tradition and festivities which most large universities now follow but it originated at this University. 1 c3 uk U y4 A manager, employed by the Board of Trustees, will carry out the business of the Association and shall direct the activities of the Associ ations employes. The expenses incurred by the management will be paid for by a service charge determined by the As sociation. The excess of serv ice charges collected over ex the members on an equitable penses will be distributed to basis. In operation, the FMA Board of Trustees will ask for bids on various items such as canned goods, meat, and milk from all distributors wi ing to compete. The company or companies selected on the basis of price, reputation, and quality of goods and service will then be contracted to furnish the members with stipulated goods. Other Programs Over 15 universities and col leges have a similar organi zation, some of which have been operating since the 1930's. The Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, Penn sylvania State, and the uni versities of Minnesota, Cali fornia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oregon are a few of the universities which have oper ated a similar organization with success. ' The University of Massa chusetts, whose association has operated for only a year, was cited as an example. Massachusetts' net saving during the first semester of operation totaled $6,84. This represented an average year ly saving of nearly $1,000 for each member ttaternny. A few of the items pur chased under Massachusetts' association showed the fol lows savings: milk, 25; brec. 12&: laundry, 25; kitchen gas, 32; equipment, 20. Other universities reported similar savings with Ohio State saving 18 oa canned goods, 36 on -laundry, and 55 on rng and upholstery cleaning. In the report. Nolon stated that with the Universities he contacted the net savings per house is between $300 and $v 500 per year. Benefit to Suppliers .As stated in the report, the program provides further ad vantages by benefiting the suppliers. The continuing quantity of orders received J fit i ' t I fc'A 1 '. ' I NOW BEING TAKEN Friday, September 29, 1961 through such a program gives them a stable business. This stability, is another rea son for the large discounts which the program oonv mands. The report continued: Th name 'Fraternity Manage ment. Association connote much more than a purchas ing association. For exam ple, several services that could be provided througli the FMA are: 1. A uniform accocntiB system designed to accurate ly classify and distribute in come and expense. (A) Year ly budget forecast, prorated on a monthly basis.

Brecken- ridge will present the sugges tions of the Student Council for a Student-Faculty Evalu ation Program at the next meeting of the organization of department chairmen. The Council's suggestion to establish a joint student-faculty board to draft a student- faculty evaluation program was given to Dean Brecken- ndge last Spring for his con sideration. The student rating of the ability and qualifica tions of their instructors has been adopted in many col leges and universities in the United States, said Don Burt. Student Council Student-Fac ulty Evaluation chairman. The rating can then be ef fectively used by faculty members to improve their presentation of curriculum and revise the general meth od of instruction, if needed, be said. f"r r"j fca sy
