K. U. First Voters to Be Encouraged to Use Franchise
Nearly 1,100 Students Will Be Eligible to Cast Ballot at November Election
POLLS TO BE SET UP
Nearly 1,100 students of the University of Kansas will be eligible to vote at the absence voting polls in the coming general election on Nov. 8, according to Professor Guild of the department of political science. It was announced last night the absentee polls be located in the Commons building.
"The political science department is making a special effort to induce the students to think critically," said Professor Guild. "Our department recognizes the help needed by those who are casting their first ballots and it is prepared to render that support."
The procedure at the University polls will be a little longer than at a regular polling place, Mr. Guild stated. Students from first and second class cities must be registered not later than Oct. 28. It will be the number in order to fill out the affidavit of voting and qualifications to vote which is required at the absentee polls. According to Professor Guild, the filled-in ballots will be sent to the county clerk of Douglas county by the election board and distributed to respective localities on the Saturday following the election.
The ballots which will be provided at the polls, will be the regular Douglas county ballots. Two of the ballots will cause no trouble, as Professor Guild pointed out, because one is for the state and national offices, which are not part of the ballot, and the other relates to two proposed constitutional amendments.
The local ballots, however, must be filled in with the names of the candidates from the voter's own identity. Professor Guild states that owing to lack of time and money, the department will be unable to guarantee to have these names on record at the polls. You may need to cure this information for themselves from the local newspapers in the library or from some other source.
The members of the absence board of election will be George O. Foster Joe Rice, Mrs Erma Seidel, Mrs Norma Hill and Myron Messenheimer.
Amy Beckmann Will Speak at Nex Meeting of Organization
Professor Guild asks that studenten out of our of the state inquire at his office for information using coins in order to inform students in order to save time and trouble at the polls.

"Three more years of taxation of farms and homes for school maintenance along the lines of present practice will benefit students, teachers, the system and produce a revolve among our taxpayers comparable to that in Chicago," declared Governor Harry Woolring. Democrat candidates for re-election, a speech at the Orpheus theater night
The governor stated further that he favored the laying of a flat income tax in the event that the proposed graduated income tax amendment failed it.
He outlined a program whereby the proceeds from the income tax would be diverted to school districts pro rata on basis of their school attendance. The tax burden of residents of rich districts and those of poor districts was set aside, he declared. Proceeds over and above school needs would be applied on the running expenses of the state as a further relief to harassed taxpayers, he said.

Present System Needs Redistricting to Equalize Burden, He Says
"The present system of taxation is a monotrusty," J. P. Jensen, professor of economics, said last night, before a meeting of the Kansas chapter of the national association of Cost Accountants and the Missouri Society of Certified Accountants, held at the Kansas City Athletic club.
Jensen Speaks on Taxation
Professor Jensen went on to say that under the present theory of taxation, an equity might be taxed several times, through taxes imposed upon paper issued with the actual property as security.
"Another evil," he said, "is that of distracting. People with wealth and influence obstructing that places to go for business." He said little improvement, while those less
able to afford the taxes are forced to pay." Professor Jensson asserted the redistricting was the only way to equalize taxes.

One Out of Every Five Own Autos This Year
Percentage of Car Owners Increase of 1.3 Over Last Year
One out of every five students at the University, enjoys the use of a motor car, according to figures released today from the Chancellor's office.
This year, 773 undergraduates, or 21.8 per cent of the student body, use or maintain an automobile. Those who live in Lawrence and drive a car belonging to their parents are included in this number, while the University of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan., has not been considered in the compilation.
During the school year of 1931-32,
80s, or 25.5 per cent of the students
enrolled here drove cars. Although,
the number of drivers is less this fall,
the percentage of automobile users has increased 1.3 per cent.
Requests of faculty members for permits have varied little in the past three years. This year 205 were received, 206 in 1921, and 228 in 1930.
Of the 299 applications for campus parking permits, 265 were granted. These figures are only slightly less than the preceding year, but in 1930, 711 student drivers requested licenses with 201 being granted.
It is said that the school years of 1920 and 1930 probably saw the greatest number of student driven cars on the campus. However, no figures are available previous to the fail of 1930. There was then no system requiring students, while registering, to state whether or not they were used, or maintained an automobile.

That newspaper or correspondent already has been designated by the central office to handle the returns from its county. Receiving the returns from the precincts, the county representative will compile them into

students Seeking Truth in Moral and Religious Philosophies
Essence of College Life Is Inquiry, States Hart
"Iinquiry" is the one word that would use to sum up college life," declared Dr. Jack Hart, M.Y.M.C. worked from the University of Pennsylvania, in an interview here late yesterday afternoon.
"Students are inquiring about the truth in all fields of endeavor. There is on the campus today an atmosphere of truth-sucking, and students are not satisfied except with the truth. The student is critically inquiring about moral and religious philosophies of life in an effort to build for character."
Dr. Hart declared that no church ha-
made as large a contribution to religious
life it might, and the college should
pioneer, lead, and nurture its students in re-
ligious development.
"For the first time in 25 years," continued Dr. Hart, "I have found that students are wise about the facts of politics. They are aroused about the issues of the campaign and current events.
"The majority of students are for Norman Thomas, with about an equal distribution for Hoover and Roosevelt. Three reasons for the preference for Thomas are the desire for socialism; and his philosophy and personality appeal to students it is a vote of protest."
Students have hopes of polling such a large vote that four years from now we will have the possibility of a new party whose leadership will be superior to either of the old parties, and be added in American life." One of the greatest problems confronting religious and social workers, according to Dr. Hart, is the racial question, especially that of the white and black. It is Dr. Hart's belief that the race is one of low direction; other complete social aggregation or immigration.
For the present there must be intermediate steps, with the final decision coming within the next 100 years either for total seerace or fusion.
While in Lawrence Dr. Hart talked to three groups, the Cosmopolitan club, the Episcopal students, and the Council of Philadelphia. He is now returning to Philadelphia.

Lower Admission Helps to Maintain Football Throngs
Average Falling Off in Attendance Is About 20 Per Cent, United Press Finds
MIDWEST HARDER HIT
New York, Oct. 25—(UP)—Football attendance has dropped this season, despite a general reduction of admission prices, a United Press survey disclosed today. Loss in patronage, which was as high as 50 per cent in one case, indicated a national drop of around 20 per cent.
There has not been a sell-out at any college game of national interest during the first half of the season, although many colleges have made deep cuts in attendance and have lost in some cases to maintain attendance comparable with those of last season.
Notre Dame has attracted 65,000 for the three games played at South Bend this season, while three games played in the corresponding period of 1831 drew crowds totaling 127,000. This year's opponents were Haskell, Drake and Carnegie Tech, while the 1831 games played in the Northwestern and Pittsburgh features.
Two games at Kansas this year showed 16,300 persons attending, compared with 52,000 at the best three games last year.
anewestern reports showed that Big Ten games continue to draw large crowds where winning teams are concerned, but a general reduction is noticeable in contests involving weaker conference members.
Reports from the Big Six area disclosed slight increases in attendance, but the crowds of that area are small. The size of this area Coast and the Western conference.
Senate Committee Recommends Distance Requirement Be Discretionary
Advises New Parking Rules
Changes in parking regulations are recommended by the Senate Committee on Parking and Traffic Rules in a resolution drafted and adopted at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The results of that meeting will be Student Council and W. S. G. A. for action. No new parking permits were issued yesterday.
The present rules state that an applicant for a permit must live two miles from the campus. This has caused some misunderstanding. As the student formulates the parking rules, it will be up to them to make any changes.
Following is the resolution:
That in the future licences be granted to students on the following basis:
1. Primary preference as to granting and zoning of licenses shall be given to students for the following reasons:
(a) To obtain a certificate from the Student Health service.
(b) Distance of residence from the campus as determined by the student committee.
(c) For reasons of employment wherein a car is neces-
2. When all such cases comprised in the above are taken care of, licenses will then be granted irrespective of the above qualifications. The total number of licenses granted on the campus shall be limited within the limits defined by the Joint Senate Committee on Parking.
3. It is further recommended that the Councils be requested to budget to the extent of $10 for a fund which will be used in advertising in connection with issuing of license plates at the beginning of the school year.
