百 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2. VOLUME XXX The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas Council Officials Ask Second Vote on Activity Plan No. 96 Ballots Presented at En rollment Time Will Get Opinion of Entire Student Body TICKET IS REVISEJ A ballot for general activity ticket, to sell for $8.75, and include everything on the original $13.50 ticket except the University Daily Kansan and the Jay-hawker, will be put to the vote of the entire student body at an event organized by the council as at the last public meeting of the council the matter was tabled until next semester. Harold Denton, c. 33, president of the Men's Student Council, and today that the purpose of the second ballot is to select men from the poll taken Jan. 12, received from the poll taken Jan. 12. According to Denton, plans for the $8.75 ticket call for the payment of $6.00 the first semester, and $2.75 the second semester, "This is done," he said, "because more activities come in the first semester than in the second." Plans for the ballot, as explained by Denton today, call for its being divided into two votes on the $7.75 fee, the second will be for voting on an additional fee for the Kannan, and the third part will be for voting on an additional fee for the Kannan. Under the general activity ticket student would obtain exemptions through a small faculty committee much resembling the student loan committee," Denton said. The exemptions will be forced to leave school. The vote at enrollment time comes at the request of many who wish to vote in the primary election. Denton emphasized this fact the morning that the original plan has not been changed, but that the only difference in the second ballot is the separation between the two. The first ballot, which was taken Jan. 12, showed a majority of those who voted to be in favor of the bill, but only one-half the students voted. One of the main advantages of the ballot at enrollment time is that the opinion of the entire student body will be obtained.

Involved in Suit Levies for 1930 and 1931 Now Draw Interest at 15 Per Cent Fraternity properties valued at nearly a million dollars are involved in the tax suits decided today by the Kansas supreme court, with a total real tax assessed in 1033 amounting to $31,-944.06. Individual houses have taxes from a few hundred to more than $1,300. The taxes assessed for 1520 became delquent, half on Dec. 20, 1936, and half on June 20, 1931. Five per cent penalty was added on each date, and the delquent tax and penalty draw per annum from Sept. 1, 1931, to date. A similar situation holds for the 1931 taxes, which are now deliquid and are bearing penalty and interest. The same case for 1932 as for 1930 in 1931 and 1932 as for 1930. Property on which taxes have been delinquent for three years, is offered for sale by the county. Therefore, the fraternities have until Sept. 1, 1934, to sell their property to a tax sale of their property, but of course the high interest is piling up.

HELEN HEASTON President W.S.G.A. * * * * * * * * * * * * TAXES TOTALING MORE THAN $100,000 NOW FACE GREEKS OF DOUGLAS COUNTY New Salary Cut Bill Offered 10 to 47 Per Cent Senator Miller Has Sliding Scale From 10 to 45. He Got $1. Topka, Jan. 30—(UP) In the closing minutes of the state senate session Friday, Senator Charles Miller, Tonganoxie, dropped in a salary bill capable of causing unrestness among all state educational institutions of the state educational institutions. The bill directs the state Board of Regents to revise the salaries of employees under their supervision downward on a sliding scale, from 10 per cent on salaries in the $1,000 range to 47 per cent on salaries $1,000 and 80 per cent on salaries $2,000. The bill specifies that the 1921 schedule of salaries be the basis for computing the reductions. The proposed salary cuts would effect the chancellor, president, college, deans, assistants, instructors, engineers, clerks, librarians, registrants "and all other employees of the Board of Registrators." Miller, a Democrat, announced that he would submit salaries of other state employees. His schedule runs as follows: $1,000 10 per cen $1,000 to $1,250 11 per cen $1,250 to $1,500 12 per cen $1,500 to $1,750 13 per cen $1,750 to $2,000 14 per cen $2,000 to $2,250 15 per cen $2,250 to $2,500 16 per cen $2,500 to $2,750 17 percen $2,700 to $3,000 18 per cen and so on, increasing 1 per cent of cut for each $250 additional salary, with reduction of 47 per cent for salaries between $8,250 and $10,000. Disapproves of New Rule Coach Lindsey Dissatisfied With Proposal to Change Forward Pass The proposal to change the forward pass does not meet with the approval of Coach Adrian Lindsey. The coach voiced his dissatisfaction with the pro-player's performance for increasing the penalty for incomplete passes. He does not believe it would prove satisfactory if the players were allowed to make their tussle anywhere behind the line of serifing and not necessarily five yards back. In this case, Lindsey said, defenses would have to be revamped to meet the situation and the game would tend to get out of hand with a back permitted to pass from any place behind his own line. Johnson Still Holds Lead Kansas Center Now Has 58 Points Skradski Second With 39 Bill Johnson, Kansas center, still holds the individual scoring honors of the Big Six, with a total of 58 points in the five games the team has played Skradkei of Kansas State did some fast work Saturday night in the game with Iowa State, and steps into second place.

High Addresses Women's Club Nash Addresses Women's Club Dr. B. A. N. Ash, professor of education, will address the Womens' club of Topeka Thursday, on the subject of "The Modern Environment of the Child." Penalties and Interest Add to Huge Sum; Next Step is Under Consideration Taxes totalling more than $100,000 against student fraternity property in the University of Kansas and at Eaker University, Baldwin, are now due to be discharged. The decision of the supreme court of Kansas which was announced Saturday. These figures were announced today by L. H. Hoover, county treasurer. Taxes totalling approximately $35,000 in 1930 and 1931 have been delinquent for more than a year, and in addition the company has issued a time of delinquency, are drawing interest at 15 per cent per annum. Due to lessened assessments and valuations for 1930, the total, Mr. Hoover said, will be about $35,000, to which the penalty of 5 per cent has already been added. The company is putting up at a rate of about $30 daily. Some Houses Are Prepared Some of the organizations have been accumulating tax funds against the possibility of the tax being declared valid, and some others will be able through their alumni or other sources, to make necessary financial arrangements. So it is important find it impossible to make the payments and will lose their properties. Bill Avery, president of the House Presidents' association: "The decision of the Supreme Court is most important, for all the fraternal and rocisserie, especially in a year such as 2013, when financial problems. My only hope is that this additional tax burden will not force any of the chapters on the campus to give up their houses. If some of the houses are forced to close, several students will be forced to drop out of school who are almost wholly dependent upon the employment from these institutions. Quarterly quartermasters must also be provided. For the present, we are hoping for an adjustment on the valuations of the property owned by the fraternites, which seem to us unfair as they now Some student leaders suggested adaptability of waiting until after the inter-semester vacation is over, so all students should consider what steps are to be taken. Woodbury makes Statement Margaret S. Woodbury, 38 associated with the Woodbury Council. "I feel that the passing of the ax bill levies taxes upon the organized houses is a real disaster. Nearly every social organization on the hill will suffer hardships. Some of the hardships I would nobelss have to live up in their house." Previous to 1839, fraternity properties in Douglas county,县 except treats in excess of one-half acre, had not been listed on the tax rolls, but in the spring of 1850, the court directed the councillors of Douglas county directed the council clerk to list all such properties. Fraternalties of Douglas county, which has held a position at Baker University at Baldwin, conferred with regard to what action they should take. It was decided that demands should be made through proper means and not by the properties from the tax lists. On Nov. 29, 1304, the fraternities as a group made a written demand on the county commissioners asking that the societies be removed from the tax rolls. Fraternities Go Into Court The commissioners refused, the fraternity protested. They were granted a writ of mandamus from the Kansas supreme court. The writ of the court gave the county until Dec. 23 in which to comply or show cause why the court refused. Reply to the writ of mandamus was made, setting forth the claim of the county that investigations showed the existence of "exclusively by the respective plaintiffs for state, county, municipal, literary, educational, scientific, religious, benevolent, or charitable purposes, not having said purposes," within the meaning of the constitution of the state of Kansas; nor "exclusively as literary halls or dormitories" within the meaning and intent of Section 79-203 of the Revised Code. The county also maintained that the statute (R.S. 79-203) was unconstitutional, but this was later denied by Special Master C. E. Vance, appointed Master Takes Testimony by the supreme court to conduct hearings and submit findings, in his report to the court. C. E. Vance of Garden City was appointed by the court, Oct. 10, 1931, to act as special master to determine what should be submitted to the court as evidence in the litigation. Commissioners for the city were Lawrence Feb. 2, 1932, spending five days here. Later, he conducted hearings at Manhattan where a similar case had been filed by the fraternities at the county commissioners of Riley County. After the voluminous transcript of evidence had been prepared, Commissioner Vance began his study of the case and on May 13, of this year, he submitted his findings to the supreme court. In his report to the court, Commissioner Vance recommended that the real property of the Greek letter organizations be taxed and that the personal property except ritualistic equipment be exempted. Commissioner Vance made no findings as to the social side of fraternity activities during the hearing at Lawrence by the attorneys for the county, who made all the treasures of the various societies for social functions during the year. Social Life to Be Expected However, in his report to the supreme court, Commissioner Vane said: "I am inclined to think that the social activities of the fraternities and sororities would be too insufficient in and for the university, and we use which would otherwise entitle the property to exemption. A varying degree of social activity creeps into every human habituation and it seems to me that the university is the house of guests from the outside would be a permissible incidental use of the property, even though such entertainments were quite claustro and expensive. A different rule no longer did apply to a building where the hosts did not occupy as living quarters." On May 16 of this year, the frater- nities—through their attorneys, McLure, Johnson, Webb, Stone, and Oman of Topka-kea a motion to approve certain findings of fact made by Mr. Topka-kea to strike out other findings of fact. Points Finally Argued On the same date, the plaintiff—the Fraternities—fied another motion to aside certain conclusions of law and approve other conclusions as contained in the commissioner's report to the court. On Oct. 3, McLure and Oman, of the firm representing the fraternities, appeared before the supreme court sitting at Topaka to argue the points contained in the motions of May 16 for the fraternities. Aher and Gorrill of Law attorneys for the county, appeared before the court at the same time. Lindley Addresses Athletes Chancellor Advises Men to Keep Sight of Scholastic Honors "Red Gange's fame was writ on water, Jim Thirpe's name was washed away when the tide came in." Clanceler E. H. H. Lindley said pointing out that those who depend upon athletic fame alone are often disappointed. The Charlecour addressed a group of high school athletics who were guests of the Kansas City Jayhawk club of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Lindley did not belittle athletic ability, but gave illustrations that many star athletes found that athletic fame does not bring them jobs. "Don't lose sight of scholastic honors. Ten years ago many men would have offered your work on your athletic record; today, those same men, if you were seeking employment from a scholarship or academic grades," Dr. Lindley stated. Chancellor Lindley thinks that athletics in America have represented two great traditions, the Roman and the Greek. For years the Roman, with great stadia and hippodrome showmanship, has held us, but now we are shifting to the Greek theory with exercise a fundamental thing.
