The second golf outing to benefit Fairmont State University’s MBA program will be held next Sunday at White Day Golf Course.

Organizers Jeff Jacobs, Dan Everly and Terri Markle are hoping for a full field of 36 participants, compared to the 18 golfers at the first tournament.

“Our last one was on a football Saturday with WVU playing a home game, so I think we were as successful as we could hope with 18,” Jacobs said.

The format of the tournament is a two-person scramble. Registration starts at 7 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8 a.m.

Markle recommended registering early for the tournament at the course or by phoning Jacobs at 816-6370 or Everly at 838-3075.

Cost is $35 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart and sandwiches provided by East Side Subway. Mulligans are also available to purchase.

“We are very pleased with the results to date,” Jacobs said. “We locked down quite a few sponsors and some great prizes as well.”

Some of those prizes include a new driver from Allegheny Power and putter from Pets Plus. Golf USA has offered some door prizes as well as two rounds of simulation golf, free rounds of golf at White Day and various other golf supplies.

Each player will also receive a gift bag of accessories for the tournament.

“It’s running smoothly,” Jacobs said. “We were a little nervous about the sponsors, but it looks like we will get what we needed.”

The tournament is more than just a fundraiser.

It is also the MBA program’s project management course, and Jacobs said they hope the program can continue after he graduates this year.

“We are compiling some documentation for future students to keep this up,” he said. “Eventually we’d like to grow it into something a little larger, but White Day and Marty Morgan have been a big help to us.”

The school is also looking to continue fundraising in the future for the MBA program, Jacobs and Markle said.

That means the golf outing could become a permanent fixture of the summer season.

“The fact that we got enough sponsors will help future golf outings for the program,” Jacobs said.

This is a new variant of the still ongoing tussle between the Union Ministry of Human Resources Development and the Faculty of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta.

The MHRD, a cheque crore RS 4 IIM-C on Thursday evening, with a goodwill letter, this is not the kindness of the Faculty members.

While the letter states that the money is sent to the Institute with the express purpose that good, that the deficit is due to annual tuition of 1.25 lakh bar RS RS 30000, members of the Faculty said that the ministry was only trying “an act of submission” to the Supreme Court.

While no provision has been to date have IIM, Ahmedabad and IIM, Bangalore, it is assumed that money was sent to IIM-C, because its Board of Governors of the tax by a bar resolution, while the Faculty decides against him.

The PIL was filed at the head of court against the MHRD for the tax bar. IIMS of Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta (Faculty, in the latter case), the PIL.

The Faculty The argument was that once the tax reduced, it is annual deficit of nearly 6.5 crore MHRD But the case has ensured that good, the deficit in tranches of the fee, and it is in the sense that the check was sent.

Faculty A meeting was convened last Friday to discuss the removal MHRD and the consequences that result from the fact that the Faculty last. The Council said MHRD not a single penny time in 2003-04, when he apparently was preparing to send at least RS 6 crore.

Hence, the sudden release of funds is “intangible and a powder in the eyes.”

“The MHRD all crazy trying to maintain, in the cheque. It is well below what the IIM C would be necessary if the tax bar is implemented. The Institute is already taken by a lack of means. We have tried our cost of the body that we have put in place since 1991, a high-level Faculty said.

“Let the MHRD first version during the last year, the fund and its share for this year, through these RS 4 crore, before any claim,” said the panel members.
