New Tax Proposal Provides Refund for All Students
Retention of Enterprise
Ticket or Jayhawker
Will Be Optional
to Student
Final action on the adoption of the blanket tax, and the functioning of this tax, will be taken at a meeting on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Dear Dyer's office. The student enterprise committee, composed of Albert Peterson, president of the Men's Student Society, and Dr. Paul President of the W. St. A. Kaur clerk of the University; Dean Husband; and Dean Dyer, chairman of the committee, will attempt to adopt a plan of execution of the blanket tax.
The present plan of the tax is that it will not be compulsory. Students will be required to subscribe to an enterprise ticket covering athletic and other university events but after registration, the ticket or certain parts of it to the treasurer's office and collect the money which they paid for it. It has not been definitely settled just what will be included under the blanket tax.
Excuse May Be Obtained
Exercise May Be Obtained
students who are aware will have line and go to a designated office to get excused from paying the tax as they enroll. The inconvenience of leaving their place in the line will be the only means of attempting to induce them to pay the tax, according to the present plan.
The tax will probably include athlete events, band and orchestra concerts and recitals, glee club performances, dramatic productions, and in fact, all that has formerly come under the enterprise ticket. The Jahawker is to be optional, and may be obtained by the student body or through a regular tax fee. Included in the tax will be council fees, which at present are paid separately. These fees are the 25 and 30 cent fees which are from the students as they register.
K. S. A. C. Uae Plan
USES PLAN
Since basketball will be included, and since undoubtedly tickets will be sold to more students than the gymnasium can accommodate, a plan of limiting the date of reservations will be adopted. All people who do not get reservations before a designated deadline may obtain a refund of $3.00 for their basketball ticket. Also, if you have purchased a basketball tickets may obtain this refund of $3.00. It is thought that the plan of the deadline for reservations and the exemption will keep the numbers within limits that can be cared for.
A similar blanket tax plan is in force in the Kansas State Agricultural College, where it is taught by the Teachers at Emporia, and is very much in favor in both these places, according to Dean Dyer. The University also uses blankets.
Little Difference in Cost
Difference in Case
The present case is the
practice of some students, is not essentially
different from the present practice
enterprise plan, and will cost practically
The main difference from the enterprise prize plan is that under the present system, the student is left to decide for himself, he must under the blanket tax plan, he must decide not to accept the tax. This plan will save the committee in charge of the labor and expense of the university. In this case the students all the advantages they now enjoy with no additional cost. The success of the plan at K. S. A. C. was a prompting motive for agitation by the adoption of the plan here at Kannawa.
Will Reduce Sale Cost
Will Reduce Sale Cost
The plan, when submitted to the
education for a vote at the last elec-
tioned with a majority of some
80 votes.
At present the enterprise ticket sales amount to about 2500 each year, and it is believed that the tax plan will increase the sales to 3,000 or more. Even if the sales do not increase, the company advertising the tickets will make the plan well worth while, the committee believes.
