The biggest problem of the
many confronting the Frater
nity Management Association
(FMA) is the unfair business
practices brought about by
competitive suppliers accord
ing to Grant Gregory, chair
man of the FMA.
The FMA was organized in
the spring of 1961 by the In-
terfraternity Council (IFO.
It Joined 12 fraternities to
gether in cooperative bargan
ing unit in an effort to place
them on a competitive basis
with the economic housing of
fered by the University dorm-iotry-type
living. Products and
services bought through the
FMA are laundry service,
baking goods and dairy pro
ducts. A 1 1 businesses retailing
these products are annually
sent bid slips, and the com
pany returning the lowest bid
is given the contract. All
member houses must agree to
boy from this company.
Gregory commented that
when FMA was just getting
into operation, several people
fett that H would select prod
ducts bia-ly. However, he
said the FMA has shown that
it can offer the best quality at
lower prices.
The problem with unfair
business practices dates back
to the beginning of FMA and
is best exemplified in the pur
chasing of dairy products said
Gregory. The price of 2 Vi
tamin D Milk ( most common
ly used milk product) was
&4c per gallon. It was p u r
chased by various houses at
random from either Roberts,!

Med School Scholarships
Awarded For 1963 Year
Twenty medical students
at the University of Nebraska
College of Mediciffe have
been awarded scholarships
for the academic year
1963-1964. The committee on
scholarships and awards re
cently announced.

Before Council was a mo
tion calling for assurance
that a repetition of this
year's seating problem not
occur in the f uture.
A further motion was
made that immediate dis
cussion be given the prob
lem by the Student Welfare
Committee. An amendment
by Sue Vandecar provided
for the consideration of a
possible solution that could
take effect this year. The
motion was passed.
During student discussion
President Dennis Christie
found it necessary to re
peatedly remind the irate
students that discussion and
questions must be on the
motion before the Council.
Pittenger said that the
ysoimess Practices Worst

Skyline, Meadow-Gold or Fair
mont dairies.
When FMA organized, ft
sent invitations to bid to each
of these companies. Two of
them said that they were not
interested because they felt
FMA had nothing to offer
them. Gregory said that their
attitude was such that they
felt they were too big to be
bothered by the 12 houses at
the University.
Skyline returned the lowest
bid as it offered a 10 dis
count on all dairy products.
The bid was accepted. How
ever, according to Gregory,
the two other firms that had
implied that FMA was too
small to be bothered with,
went around to the individual
houses. After talking with the
housemother or house of
ficers, they offered to s e 1 1
their milk for less. When
Skyline officials were then
consulted, they agreed to give
FMA an additional 10 dis
count. A lot of houses were led to
believe that FMA had not
chosen the lowest prices pos
sible, Gregory said. This put
FMA in a precarious position
corrected only by Skyline's
additional 10. At the end of
its first year, FMA had saved
its 12 members over $4,000 in
dairy products alone.
This year, FMA h a s in
creased to 18 members as it
now includes sororities and
cooperatives as well as fra
ternities. Members are Alpha

sincerely sorry and apoli
gized for the situation. "We
recognize our obligation to
the student body and hope
to work out the problem,"
said the ticket manager.
"This situation cannot be
resolved this afternoon," he
said as students began de
manding immediate assur
ance that their suggestions
would be accepted.
He pointed out that addi
tional tickets had been held
out for students but that
this was not enough to meet
the demand. In the past ov
er 60 per cent of the stu
dent body have bought tick
ets. This is higher than
most universities. Minneso

of the students.

Invitations to bid for the
'63-'64 school year were sent
out last May. At this time,
FMA had a volume of $40,000
per year to offer in dairy
products alone. Skyline again
received the milk contract for
64c per gallon (20c per gallon
lower than the price before
the existance of FMA). N o t
only was the Skyline bid low
est, but they offered to furn
ish any house that they sup
plied through the FMA a free
freezer and milk dispenser.
According to Gregory, as
soon as school started, the
Local Work
To Appear
In Sheldon
Sheldon Art Gallery has
devoted a section to the sale
and rental of original art. The
section, run in conjunction
with the gallery, is under the
management of Betty Sher
wood. It is operated on a con
signment basis as local artists
sell their works through the
shop.
Jerald Maddox, assistant di
rector of the Gallery, said
that the works displayed in
the shop are the products of
local artists of Nebraska and
surrounding states. He said
that several works of Univer
sity faculty members are dis-
played. He added that student
art is not being accepted as
are all works of a professional
nature.
Types of art represented hi
the shop include ceramics,
graphics, oils, watercolors,
drawings, sculptures and jew
elry. Maddox commented that
"the art shop is a place where
relatively inexpensive works
of art by artists of quality
can be purchased." He said
that a few artists of national
reputation are represented
such as Fairfield Porter,
James Brooks and Jane Freil
icher. Some 17th and 18th
Century prints are also avail
able. Betty Sherwood, manager
of the shop, termed the shop's
progress as "real well" and
added that generally the pub
lic is slow to accept such a
thing, but that it was better
to have -original works of art
than reproductions.
Miss Sherwood said that the
shop expects to have minia
ture one man shows. On Oct.
5 the George Bucher sisal
sculptures will be on sale. In
late October the weavings of
Alice Parrott will be avail
able, and on Nov. 1 the prim
itive paintings of Samuel Col
lingsworth Baker will be displayed.
Several suggestions were
made by students for solu
tions for this year and for
future years.
Nelsie Larson asked if
there would be any possi
bility that graduating sen
iors could be given special
consideration and allowed
seats in the stadium since
any action for next year
would not affect them.
Karen Benting suggested
that houses rotate their
places in the stadium each
year rather than have a lot
tery for their seats. This
idea was then expanded and
made to include rotating
seats throughout this sea
son so that no house would
sit in the bleachers all the

other dairies once again of
fered cheaper milk. Several
houses contacted Gregory and
asked why he hadn't accepted
the lowest bid and indicated
that they wished to break their
contracts with FMA. Immedi
ately, Skyline agreed to give
another 5 discount on their
contracted price. The price of
milk is currently a little over
60 per gallon when pur
chased through FMA.
- Gregory remarked that "ap
parently several housemoth
ers and house officers thought
that they had been offered the
less expensive milk because
the various milkmen had some
special attraction to then
house. But it wasn't! It was
strictly FMA."
In essence, FMA through
the help of some reliable sup
pliers, has been able to lower
the price of dairy products al
most 28 in two years. The
cost of laundry service has
been reduced 10-12 and
bread has gone down 15
Gregory said that these reduc
tions are a direct result of
FMA as food prices are act
ually on the increase.
He added that the d o w n-
ward price spiral has to end
somewhere. One of two things
will happen. Either current
suppliers will be forced out
by the existing bidding prac
tices, or the houses will real
ize that FMA exists for their
benefit and give it their full
support.
In the future Gregory said,
FMA is considering such

Nebraska Youth For Goldviater
Hear Leader Mack Liberalism
By Frank Partsch
Junior Staff Writer
Over 100 persons assembled
in the Pan American Suite of
the Nebraska Union Tuesday
night at the organizational
meeting of the Nebraska
Youth for Goldwater and
heard the taped voice of Sen
ator Barry Goldwater (Rep.
Arizona) accuse the nation's
liberals of "moral and intel
lectual bankruptcy."
Senator Goldwater's
speech, delivered to the Na
tional Young Republican Fed
eration convention in San
Francisco this summer, was
a caustic attack on the
new Frontier, the Sovi
et Union, the welfare state
and all bureaucracy in gen
eral. The speech was fre
quently interrupted by the
cheers of the delegates and
occasionally applauded by the
audience in the Union.
Goldwater i a I d that the
Democrats, campaigning for
the presidency in 1960, prom
ised to be firm, but later
losses in Berlin, Laos, and
Cuba have exposed the emp
tiness of those promises.
"A million cheers in Ire
land have not removed 17,000
Soviet troops from a small is
land near our shores . . . Talk
is worse than silence if not
followed by action," he said.
On the subject of liberalism,
Senator Goldwater was more
biting. He said that
liberals of 50 years ago were
great and noble people and
that woman suffrage and the
fighting of the corruption rid
den political machines in New
York, Pennsylvania and Cook
County, Illinois, were the re
sult of liberal thinking.
"Liberalism has turned in
to mushy sentimentalism," he
said, "and to call oneself a
liberal, one doesn't have to
believe in anything. The lib
erals haven't had a new idea
in 30 years. The New Frontier
failed In the 30's and is fail
ing now. These are not the
liberals, they are the reaction
aries." The Republican Party, he
went on, has more followers
today because the Democratic
Party has become an "empty
shell into which has crawled
every un-American idea which
has ever crawled into this
country . . . They don't have

the backbone to take a risk.
They don't understand that
Americans aren't cowards;
Americans are patriots."
Goldwater, a leading Re
publican contender for the
presidential nomination next
year, criticizes the lack of pos
itive action on the part of the
present administration and
maintains that a firmer atti
tude would have prevented
the Wall in Berlin and the
Soviet domination of Cuba.
