Committee Drafts Plan for Activity Cost Cut building as originally planned. This fee of $2 is unusually small in comparison with the $5 and $10 of most other schools with Union buildings, and considering the increasing value of the Union building to the students. (Continued from page 1) "The desirability of a completed ballroom and banquet room for next year need not be stressed further. It would provide a central meeting place for all guests and would feel proud. Parents and alumni visiting the University, would hold their banquets in a completed room which would be invaluable advertisement material. The department would have contributed a small part towards finishing the Memorial Union building and could feel that he has a definite part in it. A few years ago the committee was very important; now, with the Union Building increasing in its functions and in Technocrats Become Suddenly Silent When They Are Asked, 'What of It?' By Sidney B. Whipple New York, Jan. 5—(UP) - In advancing their theories that civilization is verging toward a breakdown because of the unlimited productive capacity of mankind, due to the machine age—and because the "price system" is incepted—the technocrats—the technocrats have presented figure charts, graphs, and formulae. The "facts" are impressive—if they are facts, it is worthy of note that the very figures presented by some techrocruits have been challenged as inaccurate to the point of aburduity, by some of the industrialists whose businesses have been analyzed by the Columbia group. Technocergy says that "A modern straight-line continuous brick plant will produce 400,000 bricks a day per plant. It requires an association engineer, says that few plants in this country, even if the best design, can produce more than 2,000. Other similar statements have been asserted by some manufacturers."1 and by textile mill operators. The Technocerate they have studied 3,000 leading commodities, ranging from wheat and cotton to steel and power; that several hundred charts were completed, tracing the energy used in the production of each commodity. On the other hand, many of the facts elicited by Technology are readily susceptible of proof, and are of unquestioned importance in any consideration of the present state of the economic world. its popularity with students, the contributing factor cannot be overlooked. The ballroom would be made available to every student through the lower-cost of Varieties and the continuance of mid-week dances. These charts reveal, they say, the decline in man power needed to produce a unit of each commodity, from year to Varieties Would Be Cheaper The "budgets of the two student governing councils would be provided complete so that they need not maintain large amounts of money in order to provide funds with which to operate. Every student would share alike the cost of student government, and would share alike the savings made possible in the lowered admittance charge to the Varieties. As explained above, students must pay 50 cents for those presenting an activity book and $1 for all other than students. Any profit which might arise from the dances on this basis would be turned into a sinking fund at the Business office to be used during the year. All university parties, similar to the mixer at the beginning of the year. "It is suggested that the management of the Variates be administered by the Manager of the Union but should remain subject to the complete control of the two councils in order to maintain the present quality of them. The management of the student would be saved about $4.50 on Variations alone (18 variases at 25c). "The comparative statement of activity cost submitted with this report shows that the total cost of the activities included in the general activities is $33.50 plus the cost of $1.50 optional for basketball; while the cost of the activities without the general fee next year would be $33.50." "The general activity fee is recom- year. They embrace the total amount of installed horsepower for each unit, and the total horsepower for the entire industry. "The direct saving to every student made possible by the general activity fee is of primary concern, especially in a time like this. The cost of all the activities should not be so high as to be prohibitive to any student attending the University. The activities listed are an essential part of a University education and the cost should be low enough that students are not required in them. Only under the general activity fee, is this low cost feasible. The fee is proposed primarily for that purpose. Most colleges and universities of the country have a similar activity fee. "In most cases it is much higher. We feel that this size which has as low an athletic 3. To make possible the continuance of worthy activities which cannot otherwise be continued. 1. To lower the cost of worthy campus activities, which should be participated in by every student. 2. To build up a better school spirit by giving each student a contributing part in the activities. The conclusions reached by these charts are these: The United States today has an installed horsepower of 1,000,000,000 engines for doing work. Operated at capacity, these machines can produce 50 times the amount of products that a machine could produce of the world, by human labor alone. With these machines, we could produce sufficient for the consumption of our population if every adult from 20 to 45 years old should work 10 hours a day. Other theorists, basing their conclusions on a lesser pretense to thorough analysis, arrived at the same decision years ago. The late Thoret Veblen, in 1910, enunciated the same principles. Fred Henderson, another reputable economist, has agreed to similar conclusions. But having accepted these conclusions, and forgetting the margin of error in the facts upon which they are based, we ask what is the natural question, "So what?" Would Help School Spirit What does Technocracy offer as a solution to the problem? Its present theory is destructive only. It would destroy the price system, the dollar system, and the hiphazard system of uncharted production and labor. But with what would it replace these agencies? At this point, Technocrats go suddenly silent. Or they say: "But that enters into another field in which we 'ave no concern.'" Copyright, 1933, by the United Press fee as would be made possible under this plan. Our concert course and other events under the Enterprise ticket are among the best sponsored by any university in the country and would be available to every student for $2.20 or less. As students, we cannot afford not to take advantage of this opportunity. "With every student participating in the activities of the campus, more feeling of unity and of common interest and more school spirit will be created. Every school represented at the National Student Convention at New Orleans which had a general fee felt that it was the only practicable measure. The cost for students here can be reduced somewhat more than 50 per cent. EXAMINATION SCHEDULE Friday, January 27 to Thursday, February 2, 1933 (inec.) "The third reason for the fee has already been explained at the beginning of this report. The facts secured by this committee in regard to the continuance of the present activities next year are much greater than they are much greater cost than they are at present; others must be curtained greatly or abandoned altogether. "The committee proposes that the entire student body be allowed to vote on the general activity fee as outlined in the report, and that the vote shall be held on Thursday, Jan. 12. We recommend that the legislature, according to the laws of the State of Kansas; namely, by Australian ballot, and that adequate polling places be made convenient for every school and every student on the campus. We recommend that the proposal be drawn up before the council councils for their action but that final action by the councils shall depend upon the results of the student vote. "We recommend that the proposed plan for activities be explained to students in every detail through the medium of the University Daily Kansas and through the various organizations of the campus. We feel that it will receive the approval of a very large majority of the students when they realize just what the situation is and that they are reducing the cost of activities in order to provide them with providing the maintenance of those activities which students of a University such as ours cannot afford to allow to be discontinued. "In closing this report it might be well to mention the policy of other schools of this size in regard to activity fees. N. Y. U. has an activity fee for all students of $2250 and must pay an additional charge for certain important activities. The state that of North Carolina State which has a complete fee charge of approximately $200 for the year, $88 of which is for activities such as athletics, gym fee, etc. EXAMINATION SCHEDULE Friday, January 27 to Thursday, February 2, 1983 (inc) FRIDAY AM 8:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 January 27 PM 8:30 classes 2,1' hours at 1:30 to 3:20 February 27 PM 8:30 classes 2,1' hours at 1:30 to 11:20 January 28 PM 9:30 classes 2,1' hours at 1:30 to 3:20 MONDAY AM 8:30 classes 2,1' hours at 3:30 to 5:20 January 30 PM 10:30 classes 2,1' hours at 8:30 to 11:20 MONDAY AM 4:30 classes all hours at 3:30 to 5:20 TUESDAY AM 7:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 January 31 PM 5:30 classes 2,1' hours at 8:30 to 11:20 MONDAY AM 11:30 classes 2,1' hours at 3:30 to 5:20 WEDNESDAY AM 11:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 February PM 1:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 THURSDAY PM 5:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 February 2 PM 3:30 classes 5,4, 3 hours at 8:30 to 11:20 Kansas State College has an activity fee of $10 which includes only athletics and dues to various campus associations, as class dues. "Empiria has a fee of approximately $15 which is very similar in its scope to our proposed plan. Many schools with Union buildings, as was pointed out before, have a compulsory Union fee alone of $5 or $10. In our proposed plan, we cannot consider the policy of Empiria to take into account our own situation and proposal. Our plan has been worked out to fit our own individual case. It is simply a question of saving money for us. It has been worked out by students and must be approved by the student body. The proposal is for a system of general co-operation among all University students who want to participate in the worthy campus activities. "This report cannot include all the details which have been investigated. Any further questions which my student may have should be brought up and will be answered. The committee will deal with it and understand by everyone and that every student will feel it his duty to vote next Thursday." Want Ads LOST: A lady's black and white fountain pen with broken cap.
