FMA:
Out in Open
One of five competing business firms recently went
over the Fraternity Management Association's (FMA)
head to register a complaint with University officials
questioning the organization's ethics in comparing and ac
cepting bids.
The complaint was made because the FMA has failed
to hold public readings of the bids. The companies, then,
in bidding for the business of supplying food to members
of the FMA did not know the basis for each others' bids.
J. Winston Martin, associate dean of student affairs,
received and administered the complaint. Doyle Kauk.
chairman of the FMA committee, said vesterdav that al
though the FMA has been operating fairly, "It "is a fair
complaint."
According to Kauk, the FMA will now hold open pub
lic readings so the companies will definitely know the
basis for and amount of the bids. For bid comparisons.
Kauk said the FMA will make an estimate of last year's
approximate volume of main use products (for example
milk) and ask competing firms to bid on that base.
Kauk explained that the reason there had been no
public reading of the bids was that there has been a
problem of companies visiting FMA members in the sum
mer interim and trying to undercut the low bidder.
It is hoped now that the public reading and publish
ing of the bids plus growth in FMA membership (14 to
25) will eliminate this undercutting. With the FMA out in
the open like this, Kauk explains, no company will be
able ethically to attempt price cutting.
It is important to note that the FMA is still on its
own. Administration will not intervene. The only part ad
ministration will play in the FMA's operation will be in
the form of aid from the Purchasing Department in set
ting up the basis for bid comparison.
The FMA has grown and, hopefully, will continue to
grow, giving organized living units on the campus an op
portunity to bargain effectively for low prices on food sup
plies, But only when each individual living unit eligible for
FMA membership pledges its full support in membership
will it be able to fulfill that purpose.

Title III
Desegregation of
Public Facilities
Sec. 301. (a) Whenever the
Attorney Geirral receives
a complain; signed by an
individual to the effect that
he is being deprived of or
threatened with the loss of
his right to the equal pro
tection of the laws, on acr
count of his race, color, re
ligion, or national origin, Dy
being denied access to or
full and complete utiliza
tion of an public facility
which is owned, operated, or
managed by or on behalf of
any State or subdivision
thereof, other than a public
school or public college as
defined in section 401 of
title IV hereof, and the At
torney General certifies that
t h e signer or signers of
such complaint are unable,
in his judgment, to initiate
and maintain appropriate
legal proceedings for relief
and that the institution of
an action will material
ly further the public policy
of the United States favor
ing the orderly progress of
desegregation in public fa
cilities, the Attorney Gener
al is authorized to institute
for or in the name of the
United States a civil action
in any appropriate district
court of the United States
against such parties and for
such relief as may be ap
propriate, and such court
shall have and shall exer
cise jurisdiction of proceed
ings instituted pursuant to
this section. The Attorney
General may implead as de
fendants such additional
parties as are or become
necessary to the grant of
effective relief hereunder.
(b) The Attorney General
may deem a person or per
sons unable to initiate and
maintain appropriate legal
proceedings within the
meaning of subsection (a)
of this section when such
person or persons are un
able, either directly, or
the pen of the opposite ex
treme with the hope that the
net effect of the two ar
ticles would be the mean
between the two opposing
opinions. It is on this mid
dle ground that my own ac
tual feelings are to be found.

a very few of the words in

May I also suggest that if
Mr. Recker has nothing or

student newspaper that he
cease boring us with the
thoughts of others. If our
dubious columnist continues
his antics he will discover
that plagiarism is punish
