Rent Control Questions Rise
Questions concerning federal rent control as applied to fraternity and sorority houses have been answered by Charles F. Reed, director of the Topeka-Lawrence area.
Reed states that if the fraternity or sorority house is owned and operated by the fraternal organization, the exemption applicable to "rooms of educational institutions" does not apply.
If the fraternity is organized as a corporation or other legal entity, and occupants of the house pay money to the organization in consideration of the occupancy, the house is subject to federal regulations.
On the other hand, if a group of students leases a house and shares the burden of paying rent to the owner, the only rental transaction is that between the owner and students as a group. Thus, the lease between the owner and students would be subject to housing regu-

Sparked by one of the nation's greatest triple-threat backfield men, the University Kansas Jayhawkers boast one of the strongest passing games in the country when Ray Evans tosses to end Otto Schnellbacher. In center Junius Penny the Jayhawks have a lineman considered to be among the two best sophomores this season.
Schnellbacher's play yesterday, however, did give Coach Henry hope that the tall sophomore will be ready to see some action at the wing post. Previously it had been feared that Schnellbacher would be kept on the sidelines throughout the game by the injury,
Schnellbacher joined three other Jayhawks who will probably see no action against the visiting squad from St. Louis tomorrow. Joe Crawford, junior guard, will definitely not play due to doctor's orders. Harlan Altman and Joe Roberts, backfield men, will be on the bench also. Altman has a hip injury, and Roberts this week reinjured his ankle, and is not being counted upon for service the remainder of this fall. Adding to Henry's headaches is the hip injury of Gene Sherwood, sturdy blocking back. Sherwood, however, showed considerable improvement yesterday afternoon, and may be ready for considerable action against the Bears. Gene Roberts, flashy halfback, is still slowed down somewhat by a bad knee, but will
