THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, M
AY 21
FBA Holds
First Local
The Fraternity Buyers' Associa-
tion recently held its First Annual
Food Fair at a local store.
The purpose of this Food Fair,
according to William E. Dove, '59,
is to better acquaint the cooks and
stewards with the food whole-
salers with which they deal.
In order to accomplish this, over
20 dealers had representatives to
meet and answer the questions of
the more than 100 cooks and stew-
ards from the various fraternities.
Exhibit Food
Dealers through their exhibits
showed all the kinds of food han-
dled by the Association.
The large majority of the guests
viewed the demonstrations of the
proper methods of meat cutting
and preparing by two meat com-
panies.
Only stewards and cooks 'were
eligible for the concluding part of
of the program, the drawing of
door prizes donated by the Frat er-
nity Buyers' Association.
Began in 1955
Charles H. Rubin, '58E, out-
going president, explained the As-
sociation was started in the fall of
1955 in order to provide fraterni-
ties 'with good food at reasonable
prices.
Now all foods including baked
goods and dairy products are of-
fered by the wholesalers through
the Association so that savings are
possible on all foods.
Selected by Board
Wholesalers are selected by the
Board of Directors on the basis-of
the quality of the food offered and
low prices of the bid. They deal
with wholesalers in the immediate
area for foodstuffs such as milk,
while dealing with nationwide
companies for canned goods and
meat. The Association is able to
receive *discounts due to the large
volume of buying done, according
to Rubin. Last year, buying for 49
fraternities, they bought over
$200,000 worth of food.
Progress?
Plans to insure the "absolute
and guaranteed safety" of
coeds have been made by a spe-
cial committee recently formed
at Cornell University.
The program will provide
"safety stations" installed at
300-yard intervals along the
main thoroughfares on the
campus. Representatives of the
Red Cross and Travelers' Aid
will man the stations.
The committee also suggest-
ed that girls do not attempt to
cross campus in groups of less
than seven.
According to a member of
the special committee, "the
situation on campus has pro-
gressively deteriorated from
early post-Ezra times and it
has now become necessary to
take positive steps. The com-
mittee is determined to carry
out the security program which
has been drawn up after long
and careful considerations."

"Although there has been a
slight increase in measles cases
this year, there has been no evi-
dence of an epidemic," Dr. Morley
B. Beckett, director of Health
Service said.
Dr. Beckett said there has never
been more than ten cases at one
time in Health Service and right
now there are three cases.
The measles are the three-day
variety and people are usually
kept in the infirmary for 48 hours,
he noted.
