Any other prizes that may be secured for donors will also be mailed, Miller said. IFC Competition Miller said the interfraternity competition sanctioned by IFC would begin Tuesday and that the fraternities would go in blocs. Phi Epsilon Pi has been named to go to the center Tuesday. Fraternity men who go on dates other than that set aside for their respective groups will still have their donations credited to their fraternities. Independents can go at the time most convenient to them and Blue Key will furnish any needed transportation. Campus Visit Miller emphasized that the main object of the drive is to fill the weekly quota at the center and then close the drive with a two day visit to the campus by the bloodmobile.
