Fraternity Council Seeking
To Begin Buying Program

(This is the first in a series of
articles interpreting progress of the
Interfraternity Council's proposed
cooperative buying program.)
By DAVE BAAD
Interfraternity Council officials
are taking steps again toward in-
stituting a cooperative buying pro-
gram among University frater-
nities."
Cooperative buying, highly suc-
cessful at Ohio State, the Univer-
sity of Oregon and on a lesser
scale at Michigan State has in-
terested fraternities here for sev-
eral years.
Although two years ago, IFC
laid considerable groundwork and
drew up a proposed constitution
for 37V Purchasers Inc., the co-
operative idea has never eclipsed
preliminary stages among Univer-
sity affiliates.
Fraternity Presidents Assembly
rejected the constitution. on the
grounds of unsolvable administra-
tive problems
Last year IFC discussed rein-
itiating attempts to establish co-
operative buying but instead re-
mained content with maintenance
of an information service.
Gathering prices from local
merchants every two weeks, the
service published price lists for the
benefit of fraternities. Some fra-
ternities used the service but its
obvious flaw was its inability to
state quality of goods along side
the prices.
Under direction of Keith Coats
'56, IFC Services chairman, IFC
hopes to make some substantial
progress towards coop buying this
year.

If this proves impossible, stand-
ardization of prizes for fraternity
purchasers is its more modest aim.
At present there is great differ-
entiation of prices on similar goods
in local, markets.
Realizing different merchants
list low prices on different goods,
Coats wants to organize frater-
nity buying so houses may pur-
chase from merchants offering the
best deals on respective desired
goods. This idea expands on last
year's information service.
Under cooperative systems, the
cooperative buys supplies fron
wholesalers or merchants with the
fraternities buying from the coop
center.
Coats reports local merchant
response to coop buying hasn't
been too encouraging. Some think
the program would be impossible
while one thought it could be suv-
cessful limited to certain items.
iFC president John Baity, '55,
discussing coops yesterday said
cooperative buying of a few staple
products might be the limit of
progress this year.

Rettaliata
Asks for Aid
By Industr
In proffering another means of
increasing college income, Presi-
dent John T. Rettaliata of the
Illinois Institute of Technology,
suggested that business increase
their support.
Corporate contributions to pri-
vate higher education, he said,
should be regarded as factory ex-
pense rather than as a charity.
The reasons for this business in-
terest finding recognition to a
larger extent is that "business
statesmen" know that no industry
can be stronger than the intellec-
tual level of its personnel. On
the other hand, the academic in-
stitution realizes' that its reputa-
tion is enhanced through develop-
ment made possible in its indus-
try supported laboratories.
Tax Deductions
In recent years corporate chari-
table contributions for all purposes
have been less than one per cent
of net earnings before taxes. The
allowable tax-exempt figure Is 5
per cent. ""
The most recent figures avail-
able, 1950, showed business con-
tributions to education at about
one-tenth of one 'per cent. Effec-
tual operating basis for colleges,
according to President Rettaliata,
would be corporatensupport of
about one-half of one per cent,
or about a quarter of a billion dol-
lars a year.
"Education's problems are its
own," he noted, "but industry can
and will help in their solution
when it understands why it should
. . . and it is primarily education's
job to see that this understand-
ing is accomplished."
President Rettaliata also sug-
gested proposals for financial al-
leviation of private education in-
stitutions wherein the cost of
education to the individual be
allowed as an income tax deduc-
tion.
High Schools
To See Hamlet
A special matinee performance
of "Hamlet" will be given for ap-
proximately 700 high school stu-
dents and their teachers today.
Students coming from all of Ann
Arbor's high schools and from

fill the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater
at 1:30 p.m. for 'the presentation.
Priced at $1.50, $1.20 and 90
cents, tickets for the two remain-
ing evening performances can be
bought from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to-
day and tomorrow at the Lydia

Curtain time for today's and to-
morrow's performances is 8 p.m.

"

By JIM DYGERT
If there is anything impossible
to find in Ann Arbor, it's a park-
ing place between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m.
And every year the situation
gets worse, as enrollment increases
and more automobiles set up re-
sidence in Ann Arbor without a
corresponding increment in avail-
able parking room.
"Parking always has been a
problem," University Secretary
and Assistant Vice-President Her-
bert G. Watkins said, referring to
an intensive study of the problem
now being conucted by the Uni-
versity.
3,500 Permits for 1,200 Places
He pointed to a sheaf of papers
on his desk, explaining they were
applications for University park-
ing permits. "Have to turn most
of them down," he said, "We've
already issued 3,5000 parking per-
mits for 1,200 places."
One of the most troublesome
problems, he pointed out, involves
cars that are "stored" on the
streets by students and towns-
people. The Union lot, for in-
stance, and Tappan between S.
University and Monroe are park-
ed full of cars that are not moved
for days, weeks, or even months
at a time.
A teaching fellow who applied
for a parking permit and was po-
litel yrefused one, returned to
Watkins' office the next day with
the information that he had
counted 172 cars in the Union
lot that morning. Of these, 159
had been there all night, he said.
(It had snowed during the night,
so that he could tell which cars
had not been moved.
The University is aware of this
aspect of the overall parking prob-
lem, but is unable to do anything
about it. Even the police are re-
latively helpless.
Health Authority
To Speak Today
Dr. Earnest L. Abramson, Swed-
ish authority on public health will
lecture today at the University
School of Public Health.
Under the sponsorship of the
Food Law Institute, Dr. Abramson
is touring several colleges and uni-
versities. He is the director of the
Public Health Institute of Sweden
and the author and administrator
of his nation's food law.

A three dollar ticket for ex-
ceedling the 48-hour parking limit
is easily shrugged off as a good
deal for car storage. Besides, it
is often a simple task to erase the
chalk mark left on a tire by a
tricycling policeman.
Because the University's driving
restrictions on students are also
difficult to enforce, Ann Arbor
teems with cars looking for a
place to park as well as with
those "stored." Illegal student cars
add to a problem that is perplex-
ing enough with those bearing
student driving permits, of which
1,300 were issued last year.
Besidesstudents, faculty mem-
bers and University staff mem-
bers need places to park. In fact,
they get an especial irritation at
being unable to find a parking
place because they are more en-
titled to one than a student, ac-
cording to University driving
rules.
What is needed, of course, is
more parking room. But, as Wat-
kins said, suppose the University
buys up property when it becomes
available, tears down the build-
ings on it, and creates space for
40 more automobiles.
"All this means," he remarked,
"is that 40 people will have to
walk six blocks instead of seven."
What is 40 among so many, any-
way? He estimated there were ap-
proximately 4,000 cars within a
one-block radius of the main
campus during a weekday.
Only Direction Is Up
"The only way we can go is up."
He was referring to the possibility
under consideration of erecting a
three or four-story carport on the
present site of the Union lot.
There could be daily, weekly,
or monthly rates for parking, Wat-
kins reflected. This might go far
in removing the immobile auto-
mobiles from the streets, thus
leaving parking room to a more
rapid turnover.
Construction of a carport simi-
lar to the city's Maynard St.
structure would not be too ex-
pensive, he pointed out. Although
it would not pay for itself, its
contribution to relieving- parking
congestion would offset what it
lacked in renumerative power.
But this is only a very tentative
plan, just an idea, which is being
considered along with other pos-
sible solutions of the old and in-
creasingly irksome parking prob-
lem in Ann Arbor.
