The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas FOUR PAGES No.150 Court Overrules Motion to Quash Action by Greeks LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1931 Move of County Official to Have Issue Tried in Local Courts Is Quelled ANSWER IN 20 DAYS Topeka, April 10—(UP) —The Kansas state supreme court will pass upon merits of the controversy over college fraternity taxation. the court飞 yesterday overruled· motion to quash mandamus proceedings filed by Greek letter organiza- tion to re-establish their tax-exempt status. The motion was filed by attorneys for Douglas and Riley county tax officials and the state tax commission who wanted the issue sent back to the district court for hearings for testimony in support of the contention that the fraternities and not other organizations were not immune from action to remove their property from the tax rolls. In dismissing the motion, the court gave Douglas county 20 counties in which to file its brief in answer to the mandamus petition. Previous to last year fraternity proper was deemed that it was used by societies as literary halls and dormitories. When county tax officials placed the Greek letter property on the assessment roll list, the University of Kansas, Kansas State Agricultural college, and Baker University joined to test the legality of the supreme court a witt of mundanum to require the county officials to remove the property from the tax lists. A bill requiring taxation of such property was defeated at the last session of the state legislature. County Attorney Harry Friday said that the defense attorneys would not hurry their effort to get their brief into the supreme court, which is in its 20 days as granted by the court yesterday afternoon. Owen Cox, T33, president of the Pan-Hellenic association, had nothing to lose and the result of ower's court action. The supreme court let the Riley county case, which involves only the case for K.S.A.C. be moved to the district court before the court. The brief in answer to the mandates petition will be handed by the two counties but the case will also be heard by a district court, where the county officials of both counties are trying to have it sent, action will necessarily have to be carried out at the University, of the three schools, are in Douglas county. It was said today that should action be deferred to the district courts that it could not get arranged in time to be placed on hold, they would have to which would necessitate delaying the case until the fall dockett. The move to have the case sent to the district courts is being made to cut down the expense incurred at this time. The writ to quash the mandamus petition was first entered by the county men in December, but he was acquitted until yesterday when it was finally brought before the court. No action was expected by defense attorneys until in January the judge said it was rather a surprise to most persons involved. There was practically no verbal argument by attorney present for both fraternity and county groups before the verdict.

Invitation From French Army He was given a rest in April, 1915, and during this time the British government sent him to Italy from the French government to draw for them. Then the Italian government asked for him and he was sent to the Duke of Milan who took him to the Austrian embassy to receive the invocation of the Austrians and Italians. While he was still in Italy he went to Rome and it was here that he conceived the idea of "Ole", which is a resume of the experiences he had during his time at the same theater in London and seven on Broadway, and it is soon to be made into a moving picture film. Mr. Bill received an award from Billy Bill and received an offer from judge for which he has been drawing once a year.
