CALVIN COOLIDGE DIES
Huge Activity Cost Cut Planned
WILL PROVIDE YEARLY SAVING OF 60 PER CENT TO STUDENTS
Men and Women's Councils Would Submit Plan to Con consideration of all Student at Election to Be Held Jan. 12
In a complete report given to the Kansan today, the joint investigation committee on the general activity ticket from the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. made public their complete plans for the handling of student activities next year.
"With the view of rescuing worthy student activities which otherwise could not be continued next year, and of saving University students a considerable amount of money, we have now assembled our complete plan for next year," Harold Denton, c33, president of the Men's Student Council said today. The report follows:
"After two months thorough investi-
"After two months through investigation, the special committee from the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. wishes to submit the following report and proposal for reducing the cost of activities to the student;
"Under the present plan of financing, several of the worthy campus activities must either be greatly curtailed or abandoned next year. The present Student Enterprise ticket will not be continued and each of the separate courses will have to operate separately at a much greater cost to the individual for a concert course alone, with four concerts, would cost the student $5 for a season ticket and from $1 to $2 for single admissions to each concert.
The season ticket for the lecture course of the same quality as this year's would be $1.30; that for the plays would be $1.50 for each game, and the glee clubs would be forced to operate without funds. On this basis, the activities now included on the Student Enterprise ticket which includes a $25 fee but has $2 with two activities eliminated.
Jaybawker and Union Hurt
“On the present basis, the athletic ticket next year will cost $9 or $10; the University Daily Kansan $4; the Union Memorial Fee $2; the Jaybawker $4.00; and the Council fee either 25 or 50 cents. This makes a total of $81 if the student participation is all the objectionable. The present quality of the baker cannot be continued on the present basis. The Memorial Union can never hope to be completed with its present small income from fees.
Explanation of General Fee
“In view of the above, in the endeavour both to lower the cost of activities to the individual student and to insure their continuance, the following proposal has been worked for student action. It is designed to stimulate and the study body may take advantage of it or leave it, as they see fit.
Explanation of General fees
It is recommended to enroll in a general activity fee with regular fees by each student enrolled in the University, except those enrolled in less than six hours work, and students of the School of Medicine at Kansas City with some regular activity fees. Under this plan the general activity fee will be payable $8.50 the first semester and $5.00 the second semester. It would be subject to refunds on the same basis in regular fees for students withdrawing from school.
All Rot Rasketball Included
All But Basketball Included
*This fee will entitle the student to an activity book, the student to an activity book basis of quality, those activities now included in the Student Enterprise ticket—concerts, lectures, plays, debates, club concerts; all athletic events during the year, not including the Daily Hawkader; entitle him to the Daily Kanase under several options as will be explained later; entitle him to the privileges of the Memorial Union and provide for the completion of it when he reaches shell five years; and should provide the complete council budgets permitting Varsity dances to be operated on a cost basis with an admittance charge of approximately 50 cents to those having an ID. (The program for Varsity dances will be continued under the supervision of the two councils.)
"Basketball is not included in the book because of the difficulty encountered in seating all students in the aud-
iatiorn for the games. A season ticket for basketball would be available in these holding the activity book for $1.5 ($this may be compared to the $2.5) which is the cost of the season ticket (his year).
"The first division of activities need not be explained further since concerts, lectures, plays, debates, etc would be considered as they are at present, with the exception that there would be four plays next year instead of three as there were this year. The student would be entitled to the same athletic privileges that he is at present under the university law; a hawker would not need to be reduced; and each student would receive his conv.
Karsam Is Included
"The Karsen would be available to each student under several options; namely, sent to the student himself, sent to prospective fraternity ritehsens, sent to the school library or other friend, sent to the high school library or student, files for clippings, or in bound copies, by groups of students, in return for surrendering their name. Both with activity book would be included want ad coupons worth $3.00.
"With each student paying the $2 fee to the Memorial Union building, the following plan would be worked out over a period of years: this summer in time for the opening of the next school hall, we would install with finished walls, ceilings, and columns; new partitions between the stair hall and dance floor and between the dance floor and the serving room; and a permanent check room would be built in the north end of the men's lounge on the first floor eliminating the second floor. The second floor and providing checking facilities for the entire building.
"During the second and third year the top floor, above the kitchen, would be completed with stairway and permanent office rooms for student organizations. The space at present is now enclosed under a walkway, which would during the fourth year of the sub-bacement, and a sinking found of approximately 84,000 a year would be started, which in time would permit the expansion of this
