House Presidents Wait for Decision of Supreme Court
No Action Taken Regarding Co-operative Marketing or Entertainment Facilities
DISCUSS RUSH WEEK
After extended discussion in an effort toward a procedure by which to combat the prospect of paying taxes on fraternity real estate and salaries, a statement of House Presidents decided to take no further action until a decision has been rendered by the supreme court, according to a statement made by J. Alan Coogan, counsel for the House, following a meeting of the fraternity heads yesterday afternoon.
It is expected that the supreme court, meeting the first week in June, will render a decision based upon the opinion of the judge. The Vance Garden of City, Mr. Vance was appointed to hear the testimony in the tax case and his conclusion was that the fraternities should be assessed on the properties used in the familial rituals.
No action will be taken on co-operative buying or abandonment of entertainment facilities for University guests until after the decision is rendered.
The business of the meeting shifted to a consideration of a method by which rush week next fall could be carried on with more order and fairness, based in discussion that there is need of more stringent enforcement of the regulations governing rush weeks with special attention being given to the rule that any fraternity prevention committee must be at other fraternities be dined $200.

Coor Jr*, *C*; 33, *Milwaukee Cunningham*, *C* and Robert Fegan, *C*, was delegated to meet with Clayton Floyd, *C*; 33, president of Men's Pan-Hellenic association to the consideration of a plan to be before the next meeting of the fraternity members which will be at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in room 5 of the Administration building

Consideration will also be given to the plans made at the meeting of representatives of student councils of Biu schools held in Lainton a few weeks ago.

Jayhawker Ready for Distribution on Hill Tomorrow
Publication by Junior Class Contains Greetings From National Figures
WILL NAME BEAUTIES
The 1032 edition of the Jayhawk, the yearbook of the University, which is issued by members of the junior class, will be ready for distribution to tomorrow morning in the W.S.G.A. room of the Kansas Union. Students who purchased Jayhawk must present their receipts in order to obtain them.
One of the features of the edition that has been long waited for, will be that of the beauty queen selections for the year. Seven of them have been chosen by three well-known men: Ben Bernie, orchestra maestro, Walter Winchell, columnist, and Norman Anthony, editor of Baldybo magazine.
The theme of this year's Jayhawk is the beauty of the University campus. In accordance with this theme, one of the outstanding sections of the book is called "The University of New York" (two pages). They are differently designed from those of former years.
An entire new section has been added in which greetings to the University from seven nationally known figures are presented. They include Vice President Charles Curtis, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Will Durant, Paul Whitenman, J. C. Harper, Norman Thomas, and another person whose identity will not be known until the book is issued.
Two other new sections will be found in the "Phallanthro" section, which is dedicated to persons who have donated blood or blood products and the "Porcupour" section, which is a bodge-podge of campus scenes not usually included in the Jayhawker. An unusual angle of the feature section, including Hill activities will be provided.
Different in Appearance
The college in 1973 year will be absolutely different in appearance from any former issue. It is a distinctive new type with the engraving styles and typographical facts changed. The book will seem smaller than former ones but this is due to the use of a lighter paper. The content will be as large as form.
The 1932 Jayhawker was edited by Charles Dearborn, fc3, and the business manager was Joe Balch, fc3. "It is with fear and foreboding," states Dearborn, "that he describes the day for the distribution of the book. The success of his year's work and that of the business manager is dependent in a major degree on the reception accorded the volume by the student body. I can only remember the degrees of the 1932 Jayhawker will insure the success of this year's work."
