Browman, county clerk of the county to nominate the nine-nounced shortly after the spring semester had closed and a temporary organization was set up to protect the organized homes.
Beliefs Fraternities Exempt
During the meetings the representatives
propose and gathered information to be
laid before the permanent organization
at the opening of the fraternity, other towns, lawyers,
state leaders, who are concerned with
this matter. After talking to lawyers,
the members agree that fraternity will win the case.
Wilford Latz, a senior Law student and member of Deli Sigma Pi fraternity was elected president of the summer organization and Frank Godding, vice-president of Kappa Sigma fraternity was chosen secretary – treasurer. Several meetings were held but no definite action was taken. The group decided to wait until the opening of school this fall. Fan-Isakson could take charge.
Following the announcement concerning the tax, representatives from the fraternities and security who were in summer school immediately organized the Kauai Association of Fraternities to association to the county tax assessment.
Temporary organizations have been formed in Manhattan, Baldwin and other cities to provide everyone and all members to be in the battle with the University take
(1) That the houses "are not used exclusively as literary halls and dormitories, within strict construction required."
Douglas county placed the houses on the tax role on the basis of legal opinion by Gorrill and Asher, local attorneys, in which they question the constitutionality of the Kansas statute and court decision under which such cases are now enacted from taxation. The reason given by Gorrill and Asher are:
(2) . "That the houses and character of the houses are not such to bring them within the category of exemp. prop. in the constitution" [and] defined in the state constitution.
(3) That the section 79-26 of the revised statutes of Kansas under which fraternities are now exempt, "in unconstrained constitution having provided in express terms what property in the state may be exempt from taxation, must be held under the well scaled relief that is intended for all property not so defined therein must be subject to tax, and that is not within the power of the legislature to exclude exemptions than are authorized by the constitution. (b) Because the attempt of the legislature to exempt certain real estate from taxation as provided by Section 10, article II of the constitution, in that it violates the provision thereof "that these legislature shall provide for a uniform and equal rate of assess-

average valuation of $30,000 on the

There is a Kansas supreme court decision of 1914 which decided that in the case of the Kappa Kappa Gamma association vs Peeyear that "all property used for educational purposes or contended with any material property should be tax free. It is under this decision that Kansas chapter houses felt safe in building new homes.

UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION
HITS K. U.; 300 OUT OF WORK
The world employment depression has hit the University of Kansas, according to Sum Carter, secretary of the university. "It's men's employment in the University."
Already the Y. M. C. A. has 300 applications for work and no jobs for the men. Workers here in previous years have come back and taken their jobs, and now they've left. Also the large number of organized houses using their members to do the work necessary has decreased the number of positions. Mr. Carter said that many students were having to work at the present time than in years.
Rushees Supreme as 'Greeks' Seek to Fill Vacancies
Sororities Near Close of Rush Week as Fraternities Get Start
SPIKING IS PERMITTED

Miss Agnes Husband, dew of Women, says she hopes the women of the University abide by the rules that they make. The women of the University make their own rules, and it is up to them to keep them. They keep the rules that they make.

Two other extravagances come with the 1520 year of rushing. The rushes may receive favors this year with the exception of the $175 to exceed $175 for the amount to be spent in rushing. Only four meals are allowed in the three-day period of rushing and an unlimited account of food is to be sent to Ft. Hancet lien from each security.
Another twentieth century ruler for the rushes is that they may double date with members of any sorority. The rule was that, although it was against all rules for members to see a rushes at any time outside of the dates she kept with the

On Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, the rushes will WILL out of preference for Monday. The priority pledges will be announced and oledging service will be held Monday.

An afternoon date lasts from 13:00 until 5 p.m. From 8 to 11 m. until 5 engagement and from 11 p. m. until 12 p.m. until 5 engagement, the cuisette supposedly) sleeps.
The fraternities officially begin rush reek yesterday morning at 10 a.m. will continue until Sunday even if they can get through a Monday morning's Kauai.
The time and manner of rushing of fraternities and sororites is also much different. Sororites spend the morning on the lawn, while fraternity members and have no rushes around the house, but the fraternity has new students coming on to the Hill goes to the sorority house and presents herself when the men come to the University need not worry about going to the sorority house, men go to the rushee and take him to the house. When the time for the next date comes fraternity and sororite data is available to their house.
All fraternities will "call" their list of pledes Sunday evening.
May you find here pleasant and profitable days. Best of all, may you discover that the University is a community of persons. Some of these are inspiring teachers. Others are fellow students who have much to give. You have opportunity to win the friendships of many of the best of these. They will give a new and upward angle to your life. May the year be a fruitful adventure of friends.
