NUMBER 82
Eight Hill Organizations Almost One Hundred Per Cent in Favor of Scheme
NON-FRAT MEN FOR IT
Ku Kua Fees Exemption Program
In expressing permission of the Ku Kua EFSL, 133rd president, said, "The Ku Kua are heartily in favor of the combined activity proposal. We feel that it will not only make it possible for more students to utilize the opportunities offered, but that it will be of great value to the school. How can this be achieved?" The minutes inserted in the present bill providing for exemptions in emergency cases."
In an attempt to ascertain the group of students on the Hill who favor the student council's proposed general activity ticket plan, the Men's Council and W.S.G.A. made a survey of them that showed they turned over to the Kansas today:
The survey showed the following organizations as favoring the plan: Jay James, Mortar Board, Owl Society, W. S.G., A.M.A., the Y.C.M.A., Y.W.C.A., Sachem, and the Ku Kus. In a statement concurring with the survey, Engue Manning, Chief Sachem, said, "With the exception of one member, Sachem indoles the proposed activity fee plan in its attempt to continue economically worthy activities which might otherwise be eliminated by university education the university offers to students."
Ku Kus Favor Exemption Clause
In the survey made among unorganized men, the committee, led by Fred Conner, 134, expressed surprise at the number of men favoring the plan. Conner said today that the committee expected to find a great many of these men against the ticket, but that most of them were in favor of it.
Non-Fraternity Men for Plan
Gerald Butler, p. "I sincerely believe that any proposal which offers such a substantial financial saving to students should be supported."
Non-Fraternity Men for Plan The statements of several non-fraternity men follow:
George Stewart, 'c35.' "Although I do not approve of some of the items, the plan as a whole seems to be a darned good idea."
Bill Bryan, e'36: "Varsities on a cost basis are enough to put me in favor of anything."
Edged Tachata, p; "Present price of student activities are prohibitive to a large number of collegians. Let's repeal the protest."
Lon Robinson, uncle; "One comes to college primarily for book-learning, but extra-curricular education should also be taken into cognizance."
Corman Pennock, c'36; "I bought an athletic ticket and a Jaywalker this year. I wish I could have gotten then all for what I paid for just the two."
Rehearsals Start March
Francis Buckmaster, c.Sr. "Now is the time for every good college man to come to the aid of his pocket-book on the subject of our endeavor to continue our desirable activities to continue."
Sam Sipe, p: "It's a good idea fo most people but not for me."

Governor Submits His Tax Program to Kansas Solons
Governor Landon's Recommendations
KANSAS IS FORTUNATE
Taxes and Fees—Legislation should be enacted to insure greatest possible collection of fees carried by public officers. Perhaps all permission, license, and other fees, which are required to be collected by any officer, should be cringeged against him personally, as of the date he should have collected them.
While the American income was shrinking to only a small portion of its bumper size, debts remained at prosperity levels.
Topaka, Kan., Jan. 11—(UP) -Governor Alfred M. Landen today laid before Kansas lawmakers a strongly-worried demand for "level-headed and same" legislative action intended to reach new levels in government in government and reduction of taxes.
Careful scrutiny of all expenditures was demanded. Drastic reductions in salaries all down the line were urged. An investigation of the highway department's handling of possible retrenchment was recommended. The mandate of the people for a graded income tax, designed to make possible a reduction in property taxes, was approved.
Kansas Is Nation's Balance Wheel
In his opening sentences Landon described Kansas wars as "a part of the nation's balance wheel, demanding that all legislative action be level-headed and same."
The voters of Kansas demand passage of a graduated income tax. The will of the people is that this shall not be "just another tax."
The foreign debt problem of the nation is only a pebble; internal debt is a boulder.
I recommend that new legislation seeking further exemption of property from taxation be carefully scrutinized.
Highways—1 recommend that the legislature reduce the license tg fees on all automobiles, except trucks and buses, this year.
"Probably at no previous time in state history has the tax question reached its present importance. We must accept it as an obligation to it in a resolution, non-partisan manner."
Landon Urges Legislature to Live Within Income; Specific Reforms Are Listed
I recommend legislation requiring that all compromises of taxes on real estate by the board of county commissioners must first be approved in writing by the city or township and by the school district in which such property is situated.
Uniform Accounting System-1 recommend the establishment of a uniform system of audit under supervision of a responsible public officer, in all counties.
"Frequently," he said, "Kansas has been a key, a sort of pulse, to midwestern conditions and temperament. Representative government is under a heavy burden. Kansas government may be an example for the rest of the country to follow."
Then, bienely, he traced the beginning and the course of the depression, describing the drop in income, the reduction in unemployment, the death, the growth of unemployment.
"We are fortunate in Kansas," he pointed out, "in that while thousands are not productively employed, there are fewer of our people actually in want and without work of any kind. But the economy has lost a total loss to our fooddistrict market."
I recommend that consideration be given to reduction of the penalty and to changes in the interest rate upon delinquent tapes on real estate.
a. To give the incoming administration an accounting of just what it is taking over.
Debts should not be incurred on an inflated anticipation of revenue.
"Every citizen is a taxpayer, either directly or indirectly, and any reduction in government expense will injure the benefit of every consumer in the state.
I recommend an adequate system of maintenance for highways, to prevent destruction.
I recommend and request a thorough investigation of the State Highway Dec. To acertain any abuses and waste that have grown up.
I advocate amendment of the state constitution whereby counties may consolidate.
High Lights From Landon's Message
County Changes—1 recommend that county commissioners be given full power to control all county offices.
b. To inform the public.
School Books—I recommend reorganization of the State School Book commission, and suggest that there be fewer changes in textbooks.
Short Ballot — I recommend that the legislature consider amending the state constitution, providing for a "Short ballot" for state and county officers.
Few In Actual Want
Predicts and requests a through investigation of the issue, if necessary.
pardment.
To the appropriate administration or segment of first aid
Twentieth Amendment—1 urge ratification of the twentieth amendment to the federal constitution to provide earlier inauguration of President.

W.S.G.A. Guidance Week Is Pronounced Success
Vocational Director's Work Lauded by Beneficiaries of Plan
That Vocational Guidance week at the University this year, held Dec. 5-8 and directed by Miss Margaret Fifield, vocational guidance expert, was a success according to the report of the W.S.G.A at its regular meeting last night.
Miss Fiffield reported that all available time for appointments was filled during the week with a total of 39 conferences and five group meetings in which a large number of University women attended. Two types of advice were sought by students: They were "What work should I Take Up?" and "How Should I Reach My Goal?". Few freshmen or sophomores were familiar with available fields.
Miss Fifield recommended a closer co-operation of the faculty with the students in mental guidance. She said
Further business of the organization consisted of the acceptance of a report submitted by Dorothy Arnold, e3S, on a revision of the point system. A complete report of the system will be available in a few days.
"My three days on the campus of the University of Kansas, increases my conviction for the necessity of full time vocational guidance with a person resident at such a University. Such a person should be a part of the personnel department within the administration offices of the University."
Alice Learned, c23, was appointed as a representative on the convolutional faculty of the student directory was voted to be paid. The investigation committee on the all-activity ticket project reported that out of twenty organized houses of he University, only three voters against the award in favor of it was passed by the W.G.A.
Headline Results in Letter
Plans were discussed for raising money to take care of the deficit from last year. Further investigation will be made before plans are approved by the man of the committee on this project.
Professor John Ise Is Quoted Too Strongly, He Says
Some time ago the Kansan published a story that included an item from the United Press service with comments made by Professor John Ise. The headline that brought the following letter from Professor Ise read, "Violent Revolution is Imminent, Agrees College Professor":
"Editor Daily Kansan: I—was more than a little shocked when I saw my self-quoted as believing in the "innimence" of "violent revolution," in the January 2 issue of the Daily Kansan. We also said that if economic conditions do not improve, we will have riots, we are already having them, and even finally serious revolution; but I have surely never said that revolution is "inniment" or that it will be "violent." I am so sorry to hear this correction for I dislike being thought of as "violent" as your headline suggests. "John Ise."

The reporter for the Kansas who overheard the conversations above referred to not quote them verbatim as a well between himself and the speakers interfered as did the chilly night wind.

Student Assembly Hears Both Sides of Activity Plan
Sloan Explains Fine Points of Proposed Ticket; Kingsbury Opposes Measure
VOTE TO BE TOMORROW
Garden Steen, gr., president of the class, represented the Council in explaining the provisions of the plan and showing its advantages.
The Student's Council's proposed plan for a general activity ticket, which will be submitted to a vote of the student body tomorrow, was discussed pro and con in a student convention this morning. Speeches were made both by the supporters of the plan and by those in opposition.
"Under the present system," he said, "at least 75 per cent of the students body spends $13.50 on a more activities. Under the proposed plan other activities, and the other activities free. The value of the ticketetails upon $53," he said.
Burton Kingbury made a speech condemning the proposed plan. As chief speaker for those opposing the ticket he bid, "Even though a man has been elected president, they have no right to force the added expense upon those who do not want it." Harold Denton, e35, president of the Men's Student Council, presided. He said that students should even though some students argue that they have no desire to attend all the activities, yet the most of them will attend a large majority. "The new plan, he said, would give the students to love help for life, and that in Kansas City were $2," he said.
Sloan Lists Two Classes of Objectors "When the plan was introduced two weeks ago, two classes of objectors formed," said Mr. Sloon. "The first class were who so seriously, and loudly, acted up. We arrived out wired." The second class were those who, if given $90 gold piece for two bids, would object to it."
The speaker mentioned the excellent work of the Kwanan and the Jayhawkw and pointed out the disaster to the stu-
der. He also called on the students' expre ssion of student life would cause.
He pointed out that if the proposal went through future variances would be on a cost basis that would enable every student to attend. He compared community spirit in towns and cities to life in the University.
"It is necessary for the student body to yank itself out of its utopia. It is the students and not the faculty or the faculty of university that has versatility from an institution of stone and mortar to an institution of associations, where, when a student graduates, he knows not a few students, but 4,000, in the activities of the University."
Denton then recognized Jack Nai-
mard, edd's 33, who spoke from his seat in the first row of the balcony. He asked the question whether, if he was compelled t. autumnus an activity he had done, because as he saw fit or sell, he be wished.
Students Must Use Own Tickot
Denton's answer was that the students would not be permitted to sell their activity tickets. As the whole proposition is a student affair and since the low cost is bound upon all students participating, it is up to the student to use it. The teachers there and the students take advantage of them as not as he writes, he said.
Burton A. Kinghuray, I33, went to the platform and spoke opposing the proposal. He began by saying that he had understood that it would not be possible for the opposition to be ready for the proposal, he said, but prepared a lengthy speech, he had.
He called the University Daily Kanan the "world's word collection of the daily monocacy" and continued the line. He pointed out that where there were two or three students in a family it was not necessary to have two or three Kansas or Jayhawkers lying on the floor or in a classroom. Jayhawker could not be understood unless one belonged to a fraternity or sorority, and a good one at that. If those who wished to participate in the various student activities could not have been able to fair with nothing fair about making all the other students help make up the deficit.
In times of economy, as the present,
