Property Owners to Ask New Site for Water Tower
Representative Group Wil Present Petitions to City Commission Tomorrow
Taxpayers residing on Uni university heights mt Friday night to consider what action should be taken regarding the 140-foot water tower which the city of Lawrence proposes to erect just west of the University campus.
As a result of the meeting, a committee consisting of Professor J. J. Wheeler, Dr. Frank Schroeder, and I. C. Bushong was named to select representatives to appear before the city commission tomorrow morning in an effort to have the tower located at some point near to the beauty of the West Hills region.
Legal council has been employed and an injunction will be sought if necessary, it was decided. The committee expressed the belief that the commissioners will give the petitioners a fair deal.
University Not Concerned C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the buildings and grounds department stated today that the University would not benefit from the proposed water tower in University heights. The University has a water system of its own. In consequence the reservoir and the case of fire additional pumps are thrown into action to increase the water flow and pressure. The pumps acted perfectly during the Fowler shop confaguration.
Commission Meets Monday
An investigation has been made with the Kansas Inspection bureau, which makes insurance rates adjustments, and it was found that erection of the tower would make no difference in the insurance rates.
Commission meets Monday
The city commission meets Monday
morning at 10 o'clock to receive kids.
The committee chosen will go before
the commission to present its case at that
time.
Many at Alumni Banquet

Paul Gardner to Name Beauties for Jayhawker
Selections of Art Gallery Director to Appear on Dec. 5
Paul Gardner, director of the William Rockhill Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. Mo., has been selected to choose the beauty queens for the 1934 Jayhawker magazine, Quentin Brown, c'35, editor, announced today.
Fifteen women from the freshman class will be chosen by a local committee, and their pictures will appear in the Dec. 5 issue of the Jayhawk, which will be the Freshman issue. From these 15 pictures, Mr. Gardner will have chosen two, who will be designated freshman beauty queens, and whose pictures will head the group. The same students will join us in the issue of the magazine, with two women from each class being chosen as beauty queens.
The deadline for all entries of freshmen beauty pictures, Brown said, has been set at Nov. 15. Any woman who is a member of the freshman class may submit her picture. Nov. 15 is also the deadline for individual freshman pictures for the class section.
Mr. Gardner, who is one of the country's outstanding figures in the field of art, came to the Nelson Gallery as "assistant to the trustees," and is in complete charge of the gallery and its direction. He has played an important role in establishing the Nelson gallery as one of the finest in the world.
He was a senior in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when the United States entered the war. He enlisted, and became the youngest captain in the American forces. A member of a Coast Artillery unit, he was at the front eight months before the armistice was signed. He won his citation for the Croix de Guerre in the Mouse-Argonne drive.
Following the armistice Mr. Gardner remained in Europe for more than a year, being stationed at various posts, and pursued his interest in the field of art.
Since his return to America he has made nine trips back to Europe to study, spending much time in Venice and Florence in Italy and studying in Sorbonne, France. He came to the Nelson gallery when it was first instituted.
The Dec. 5 issue of the Jayhawker, in which Mr. Gardner's selections for freshman beauty queens will appear, will be the second of five to be published during the year. In it will be individual pictures of the members of the freshman class, the class officers, who are to be chosen next Thursday, and other features concerning the first-year students.
Each of the four remaining issues of the book will be devoted to the interests of one particular class, although many of the serial features of the book and departments such as athletics and social affairs will continue in each issue. In each issue from now until spring, a set of beauty queens will appear.
The Ku Kus will put on stunts before the Kansas-Nebraska and Kansas-Missouri games, it was decided at a short meeting of the club just before the rally Friday night. Walter Lyman', l'35, Edward Tucker, e'35, and Homer Jennings, b'34, were appointed to make arrangements for the stunts.

Norman, Okla., Nov. 4—(UP)—The University of Oklahoma displayed its usual stuncheth defense and a new offensive star here today to win a 20 to 0 Big Six victory over the University of Kansas Jayhawkers.
First Payment Will Become Delinquent Dec. 20; Penalty Avoidable
Taxes for 1932 are now due at the office of S. S. Learned, county treasurer, and Greek letter organizations on the Hill are receiving notices. Mr. Learned expects payments to become more rapid this week, as more of the notices are getting from his office to the individual taxpayers.
The first half of the tax becomes delinquent on Dec. 20, and will draw 10 per cent interest per annum after that date. The second half of the tax is due June 20. The legislature last January passed a law rescinding the extra penalty that was assessed on delinquent taxes.
Another act of the legislature, cancelling penalties of taxes now delinquent, ceases to operate Jan. 1, 1954. This is of particular interest to some fraternities against which special improvement taxes have been levied and have not been paid. The penalties that had accrued can be avoided by paying the principal of the assessment before the end of the year. This is aside from the three years of general property tax which the legislature by enactment last January, cancelled because the taxes accrued while the right of the county to tax fraternity property was in litigation.
The victory gave Oklahoma two conference victories against one less and a firm hold on second place.
Nig Robertson, speedy 155-pound half back, was spearhead of a newly found Oklahoma offense, circling ends for long gains which brought two touchdowns in the third quarter and Oklahoma's most decisive triumph of the season.
Under the finding of the supreme court, all fraternity property, real and personal, is now on the tax rolls, and this year is subject to the tax.
Y.W.C.A. Banquet to Be Tuesday
Property in Lawrence bears a tax of $38.35 on each $1000 of valuation, compared with a rate of $32.30 last year.
The increase in the rate is almost exactly offset by a reduction of 161-6 per cent in all real property values ordered last spring by the state tax commission. Special improvement assesses it in addition to the general levy.
Student property in the west Hills region escapes the city tax, but has a township tax in addition to the school district, county, and state tax levies.
