FRATERNITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
comparable associations across
the United States, associations
which have and are working to
save their fraternity systems
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. -
The future of FMA is unlim
ited. But any new project, par
ticularly at Nebraska, must be
started cautiously and devel
oped. Dickenson mentioned co
operative menues, national co
operation with other associa
iions and moving into mass pur
chasing in other vital areas such
as building, furnishings, etc.
The fraternity system could be
joined by the sororities on cam--pus
in this endeavor, thus in
creasing the savings and bene
fits from the program.
Another prospect for the fu
ture is in warehousing. If the
IFC or the association could pro
vide its own delivery service,
i.e., a couple of Greeks who
would get up bright in the morn
ing and deliver to the system,
another saving could be made.
But why, one might ask, all
the pressure on economizing and
saving money? We can look at
the system and see waste over
expensive house parties, costly
rush programs, Soaring home
coming expenses and many
others. But even these may be
affected by the FMA.
The Greek system is compet
ing with and will, more so in the
future, compete with a very effi
cient, state supported dorm sys
tem. House bills cannot soar uv
ward. So to meet the tangible
needs of fraternity, ways of sav
ing money must be found. The
fraternity system has been
brought to reality with a realiza
tion that the real things of fra
ternity life still have to be sup
plemented with the tangibles.
The FMA is probably the an
swer. We sincerely feel that it
has been carefully( investigated
and will not be a hasty endeavor.
And those behind the program
are extremely capable young
men.
The Fraternity Management
Association (FMA), developed
by the Interfraternity Council
(IFC) is ready to start rolling
down the pathway of saving
money for the fraternity system.
In an announcement made this
week by Jerry Dickenson, a very
able and capable FMA commit
tee chairman, the association is
prepared to start on a "pilot"
study next fall. Dairy products,
bakery goods and laundry serv
ice will be the first area of en
deavor. He also revealed a sample of
the possible savings, 13 cents on
a loaf of rye bread which regu
larly cost 27 cents. It was also
stated up to date, 14 houses have
informally subscribed to this
service. IFC officers and the
FMA committee are quite opti
mistic over prospects of 100
support and we certainly
would hope that they get it. It is"
beyond our imagination how any
house could pass up savings up
to and possibly over $1000
yearly.
One of the biggest obstacles in
the way of the FMA, or what
will probably slow its rapid ad
vancement, is the small group of
highly respected women, the
housemothers. Reluctant to
change, a lack of desire to deal
with a new person, and personal
likes and dislikes of brand
names are generally listed as
their reasons.
Also, there are certain alumni
who are skeptical of the pro
gram. One prominent alumni in
dicated that he had been part of
such an endeavor before and
that it just didn't work.
We doubt, seriously, however,
if any previous plan had received
as rauch'serious study and inves-,
tigation as this one. Former IFC
secretary and now President
John Nolan spent over six
months on the plan before turn
ing it over to Dickenson. He and
his committee have spent a year
of research and investigation
and plan to continue study of

assist the Greek System in but wise for the University
to provide some ieaaersmp
m this field. Otherwise, the
Greek system will deterior
ate and perhaps disappear
as a result of condemna
tion proceedings.
As individuals directly
concerned with the problem,
it would seem to us wise
for the University to aid in
this if only to alleviate its
own very pressing housing
problems. Therefore, it is
our ardent hope that lead
ership in this area be pro
videdboth for the good of
the Greek system and for
the good of the University
of Nebraska.

I The DAILY NEBRASKAN
I for May 21, 1962 contained
a rather provocative article
1 concerning the University
1 Housing Code and inadequa
i cies of present housing. Sev-
eral lines in the article
struck us forcefully. The
1 first was the statement con-
cerning "the new sorority
and fraternity houses that
I will most likely not be
built".
It would be well to note
s that there are several
houses at present which
i would readily build. The
1 problem facing them is not
i so much one of financial
I backing as of physical ex-
pansion. In other words,
I there is no place to expand
s to. The University current
1 ly espouses a rather nega
I tive attitude toward the
1 problems of expansion. On
I the one hand they demand
1 that the Greek System
exhibit responsibility, and
on the other they make no
provision for the system's
I expansion. At a Junior In-
terfraternity Council meet-
ing on May 8, Dean Halgren
was asked a question con
i cerning the problem of ex
1 pansion. At this time he
stated that it was to be
left strictly to the Greek
System the University
would undertake no respon
f sibility for it. By the Hous
1 ing Code it will condemn
living units as unsatisfac-
tory, but will take no ac
I tion to replace them.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN
This is the final column of my eighth year of writing for the)
makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, and this year, as in every pre
ceding year, when I come to the last column of the season, I
come to a problem.
My contract with the makers of Marlboro calls for me to
write a humor column and, truly, I do the best I can all thingsj
considered, I am not, I should explain, a jolly man ty nature.
Why should I be? First of all, I am shorter than everybody,
Second, there are moths in my cashmere jacket. Third, I work
in television.
All the same, when it comes time to write this column, I light
a good Marlboro Cigarette, put aside my trauma, and try with
all the strength in my tiny body to make some jokes. Some
times it works better than others, but on the last column of thn
year, it just flatly doesn't work at all.
Even in the very beginning thia was true-and that, you will re
call, was eight years ago when I was relatively young and strong
and had not yi developed that nasty knock in my transmission.
Well do I remember sitting down to write the final column of my
first year. Day followed barren day, and not a yock, not a boff,
not a singer did I produce. I was about to give up humor and
take a job selling mechanical dogs when all of a sudden, in a
blinding flash, I realized why I couldn't think of any jokes!
I leapt up from my typewriter and ran as fast as my little
fat legs would carry me to the maker of Marlboro Cigarettes,
and I tugged my forelock, and I said, "Sirs, I am jell awara
that you have engaged me to write a humor column, but today,
as I approach the final column of the season, I am far too misty
to be funny, for the final column of the season is, after all, a
leave-taking, and when I think of saying goodbye to my audience
the swellest audience any columnist ever had the college
students of America wonderful human beings, every man and
woman of them-wise but kindly-astute but compassionate
perspicacious but forbearing-when, sirs, I think of saying good,
bye to such an audience, I am too shook up even to consider
levity and so I ask you, sirs, to let me, in the final column of th
year, forego humor and instead write a simple, dignified,
straightforward farewell."
Then I took out my bandanna, wiped my eyes, ears, nose, and
throat and waited for a reply from the makers of Marlboro.
They sut around the polished board room table, the maker,
their handHome brows knit in concentration, puffing thought!
fully on the Mariboros in their tattooed hands. At length they
spoke. "Yes," they said simply. S '
I never doubted they would say yes. People who make a
cigarette aa good aa Marlboro must themselves be good. People
who lavish such care on blending tobaccos so mild and flavor
fid, on devising a filter so clean and white, on boxing a flip-top
box so flip-top, on packing a soft pack so soft-people Uke that
are one hundred percent with me!
And so from that day forward, the final column of the year
-including the one you are, I devoutly hope, now reading--
Thank you and au revoir, makers of Marlboro. The memory
