Council to Discuss Book Store Plans in Special Session
Denton Has Informatical Concerning Systems Used at Other Schools
TO PRESENT BUDGET
A special meeting of the Men's Student Council will be held at 8 tonight, Harold Denton, c33, president announced today, and chief among the propositions to be discussed will be the proposed student book store.
During the last summer, Dentent sent inquiries to approximately fifty colleges and universities concerning their methods of conducting student book stores, and the information obtained from the replies will be given to a committee to be appointed tonight. The committee will be expected to report back to the council within three weeks, Denten said.
The information obtained from the institutions was uniformly favorable, Dent said, including that from Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton and Northwestern. The University of Indiana has one of the most successful on the basis of profit, although exact figures were not released by Dent. The Indiana store handles books and computer software and students that it claims is a "sang student."
The council budget for the year will be discussed. This budget entails the distribution of approximately $1,500 for council activities. The budget, Denton believes, compares favorably with that of other years.
Following along lines hinted at last year, the council will endeavor, Denton said, to build up University spirit and one of the methods probably would be frequent meetings at the Rock Chalk Cairn. A nightshift pledge will be discussed, with the pledge being presented before the game Oct. 8 with the University of Oklahoma. It heretofore has been held the night of the game selected.
Student transportation to out-of-town functions involving the University will be talked over and a method sought by the Commission degree of co-operation between schools.
The council regularly meets alternate Wednesday nights.
Adoption of the new all-University pep flag, designed by Donald Eklim c32, will be discussed at the first step. The new flag is the official all-University pep flag.

COMPLAINS AGAINST PUBLICITY
Local Joe College Grinds Ax With Registrar Foster
A freshman walked into the office of Geo. O, Foster, registrar of the University of Kansas, yesterday afternoon to make a complaint against the publicity sent out by the school with regard to annual cost of attendance.
William Pells, c34, who was injured in an automobile accident near Tortoisean early Tuesday morning, has been removed to Watkins Memorial hospital from the Lawrence Memorial hospital where he was taken after the crash.
The freshman had a real ax to grind, for, he informed Mr. Foster, he had after a great deal of time and effort, during the summer, convinced his father that a tentative budget of about $100 million could be with the University for the current year.
Dr. Mervin T. Sudler, physician attending Polls, said today that Pellis had suffered a slight concussion of the brain from a bump on the forehead. His condition was improved, Sudler said.
PELLS, HURT IN CAR CRASH
The matter had progressed to the point of settlement and the young man only awitted the check from his parent. Then the parent read that University officials advised parents and guardians that $450 would suffice to keep any student in comfort; consequently his allowance conforms to that figure. He thinks there ought to be a law against such untimely publicity.

Senator George Sees Need for Revision Upward of Tax Schedules
3-Cent Postage Serves Only to Increase Deficit
Washington, Sept. 27—(UP)—Senator Walter F. George, Democrat, Georgia, said today that the prospect for another huge deficit would form a serious challenge in measures of economy, and to rearrange the whole tax system. George is a member of the senate tax committee which had a large part last winter in shaping the tax code.
The treasury department today reported that revenues since July 1 are this year $300,000,000 less than for the same period last year.
"Proceeds from the federal tax bill have in the main been disappointing," George said. "Only the so-called nucreal money is showing any increase for the treasury."
The "3-event postal measure, which was intended to reduce the postal deficit, has had the effect of actually increasing the amount of money with postal receipts of a year ago."
