American Schools Are Melting Pots' Educator Asserts
George S. Counts Speaks to Kansas Schoolmen This Morning; Lindley Welcomes
TALKING FILMS SHOWN
"The point of education in this chancing and industrial civilization is that education must take its footsteps to the study of American today," said Dr. George S. Counts, associate professor of the Institute of Education, Edmund E. McCormack's College, Columbia University, New York City, who spoke at a meeting of Kansas schoolhouses at the University.
Dorie Counts termed the schools of America as the melting pot for the vast conceptions of the political and economic problems facing the world today was the training of citizens for actual rather than for model citizen-
In speaking of the political unrump, Doctor Counts said. "Many countries of the world today are either in the throes of a revolution or have been created by a possibility of war. The world today is well enough versed in science and machinery that it would be able to deal with such a war could be other than a great one."
'World Can Destroy Itself'
Doris Coulter explained that such conditions might be due to the economic crisis. "France, France, he said, is about the only country not faced at present with such difficulties," she added. The United States, he further explained the reasons of the unemployed number.
Doctor Counts' talk to educators gave a breezy picture of conditions in which the press worked, in which he stressed political, economic, religious environmental and educa-
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in an address of welcome which opened the conference this morning stressed the common problem of schools' lack of reference to the fact that the schools of today need to out superior products because the average product is of no value to the economic or educational needs.

Porto Rico Debaters Want Protection Against Monroe Deocrine
Geictor Gutierrez, Joan Henrique Giocol, and Antonio J. Colorado were the winners of this year’s coach, accompanied them. Burton Kinnibury, Raymond Kohl and Tim McCormick took the side. The Porto Ricans took the affirmative side of the question. Prof. A. L. Owen
The alleged policy of United States in following economic penetration with political penetration in the western Hemisphere was severely condemned by President Ronald Reagan. Perto Rizzo last night when they met the university of Kansas debate team in Prairie's little theater. The question for debate was, "Resolved: that this house confirm the growing dominance of the United States in affairs of this hemisphere."
The Kansas men justified the United States domination on the grounds that had United States not taken the step to have colonized the Americas and have colonized the Latin American countries as they have Oceania, and Africa, and the control would have been permanent and complete rather than nomadic. This was as United States domination has been.
America Plays Safe
In answer to this the Porte Rican argued that there was no proof to show that had United States not stopped in other powers would have. They desired that all states produced them from domination of European countries, there was nothing to protect them from the Monroe Doctrine, and that because of this the United States had enjoyed no opposition to policy of intervention and domination.
In answer to the argument of the Porto Ricans stating that the economic benefits of a trade agreement demission so that the American financiers' investments would be safe, the Karasan said that the quartering of foreign capital on the temporary, and stated further that the progress resulting from this policy was for greater benefit to the Latin Americans.
Larger European states declared that although the Martines were withdrawn, he treaties, and constitutions which had been forced on Central and South american countries remained permanent, and their deterrent or deternal o the countries concerned.
Larger European Investment
The Porto Rican stated that Latin American countries expect much more of United States than they do of European countries, and because the former has proved herself just as grasping as the latter, he wrote in the respect of Apreciar.
In opposition to the argument advanced by the foreign debates that the European courts have completed, the Kansans cited statistics to show that European powers have more money invested in many of these countries than in the case of the Mexican investments Great Britain has practically the same amount alone as United States has.
The Kansas speakers said that although the United States policy had not been utopian, it had been practical. It also stressed that we must use the world needed the products of the Central and South American countries, some nation with capital had a develop the resources, and the other country which could logically do so.
There was no decision given after the debate. The Porto Rico team has decided to stay in the race, despite decisions have been made, and the foreign team has won in 16 of these matches.

PACHACAMACS RAZZED
The Kayhawker, official publication of the Kayhawk club, made its first appearance on the campus this morning. The club is a little paper elicited upon the different Hill problems now before the party caucuses treating such questions as "The Liquor Situation," "Student Government," and "ridiculous and ramifying social problems." An article on the liquor situation brought the most comment from readers if a concernant of different groups can be a criticism or the general Hill at-
"The Keyhawk club will take no definite stand on the prohibition question that has been flamed in New York and across the nation," the article says, going on to say that many people and parties in the United States are straddling the issue. The art
"Without a doubt, everyone is disatisfied with conditions as they now are. The only thing that has been tested is the prohibition has been successful are those who were bribed enthusiasts before the deaths of their leaders." Bribery allegedly cling to antitrust conventions.
"Collegiates" Unfairly Tabloided
"We, as collagues, with a bottle of gas in one hand and the steering wheel of a powerful rooster in the other, are faced with a difficulty greater than almost any group of people, a difficulty originated from false and unfair publicity.
"The University of Kansas has been subjected to humiliations by newspapers and certain persons who have tabuladed our every word. We have had, unfortunately, become 'news' Our closest actions have and will continue to be exaggerated beyond all honorable measure. For this reason we should not be surprised that we would under ordinary conditions."
The article points out that this pathogenicity of the liquor saturation on the Hill is a result of going out into the world seeking a job and will show them in a false light to the authorities.
The stuff, as printed in the sheet, is Dean Chaffees, editor. Patrick McManus, business manager; Leslie Rutledge, Kenneth Forman; Elwin Mendes, Joseph Vosler, Kenneth Crumrine, and Virgil Browne. No articles in the paper are signed.
The aims of the Kayhawk club are set forth in an article and the platform is summarized into eight points in the fly of the paper.
The present Men's Student Council, the Pachacamacas, the Progressives, and the council liquor committee are given many and爽滴 dies.

The old system of mass election of Hill candidates is described, and the one time alliance between the Independents and Smiling Bill Milander club and the consequent election victory is noted.

"But those days of impartial representation, like the mountache cup and bustles, are a memory. Under existing conditions the non-fragrant man has about as much chance of 'making up' society as a Hotton witch doctor."

Revived Tax Row Goes to Supreme Court Tomorrow
Both Sides of Fraternity
Case to Be Presented
Before Kansas
Bench
DECISION NEXT MONTH
Action in the fraternity tax issue will be revived tomorrow when attorneys for both sides present their arguments against Mr. Sweeney's plea. A decision from the court in the mundum action brought by the fraternity was not expected until the next day.
The mandates filed Dec. 9 in which the court set the time for action at Dec. 23 was later postponed until February. During the legislative discussion of a bill to fatten fraternities like the former postpone and set for tomorrow
Harry Frazee, county attorney, who with the law firm of Gorill and Aster, of Lawrence, is handling the defense, in which he was prosecuted at the court at 0 cclock when the list of cases for the day would be started. The position of the tax case is not yet clear. Mr. Frazee, the law firm of Gorill and Aster are also "going to Topeka with Mr. Frazee."
No Decision
Defense officers said today that the court would probably not announce its decision before the first or second Saturday of May. It was also explained that the court's decision would not prevent further court action if either side wins.
Owen Cox, 133, president of the Pan-Hellenic association, did not know this morning just what men would attend the bearing, though he thought that both Bob Dills, c32, former president of the association who hosted the dedication phase of the case assimilated, and Cox himself would probably die.
The mandarin suit was filed in the name of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, the university and Baker as the plaintiffs against the state tax commission, the Douglas county commissioners and the McClure, which planned to dispute the right to tax on both legislative and constitutional grounds. The law requires that the McClure, which is handling the case for the fraternities has since indicated that action may be taken if such cases were previously laid on such were previously paid on any land exceeding a half-acre in size. However, the groups will still be subject to unimprovement taxes as feeowers
Several Issues at Stake
Defense attorneys also indicated earlier that questions which might be brought in were: (1) the actual status of the case, and (2) the appellate court would appoint a commission to investigate each house; (2) a question of the fact that the word "demonstratory" around the phrase should be avoided in the constitution; (3) that social and professional groups may be differentiated as it would be easier to prove the latter educational more easily than the former.
By Dec. 8 all fraternities and sororites had received tax notice with a payment deadline of Dec. 14, but they would not appear before that time. It was brought on Dec. 9. Action for non-payment cannot be taken until June when 5 per cent of the total property tax is paying. The Cosmopolitan club paid its personal property tax of $9.99. A total of three fraternities paid their personal property but two of these did it under protest.
The fraternities would pay 2.84 percent of the county taxes if such action goes through in $135,722 and in $271,898 and they have a personal tax which would be $1,831.38 on valuation of $153,722 and $416.11 receipts for the amount of $1,831.38 and $271,898 respectively.
The case of Kappa KappaGamma was Pearce, in which it was held that fraternities not be taxed, is expected to play a prominent pay in the discussion. The defect is highlighted by the senate following its approval by the house may also have some bearing on the result of the court action.
