Rejoinder System Used
New Rebuttal System Tried in Monday's Debate
The rejoinder system of reluctant was used in the split team debate with the University of Wyoming "Cowards" yesterday afternoon. This was the first acquaintance that the Kansas defenders have had with this form of rebuttal, in which the affirmative side restates the affirmative first rebuttal and the affirmative is given the last three minutes to restate its case.
Miss Hazel Bowman of Wyoming presented the affirmative side of the question with William Kahres and the negative was represented by Erna Stevens and Martin Dickinson. The question was. Resolved that concurring opinion must be third state of both houses to overrule decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional.
The rebuiler system of rebutait will be used when the University of Southern California debaters come to battle. The court said it was a no decision debate. The main points brought up in the debate were: the distinction between the legislative and the judicial functions of the Supreme Court; the restraint of current and proposed laws regulating these two bodies bills that the Supreme Court has declared unlawful in the past, and which would amend moon time for legislating.
The "Cowherds" of Wyoming have only one more dolce in their itinerary. That is with Bethel the last part of this week. To date they have won four elections, won the majority of which they won the decision of the judges.
Dramatic Club to Give Unusual Show in April
A show having 16 different changes of scenery and all the elements of entertainment from music to serious action. A film probably on the nights of April 7 and 8. Definitions plans have been made and work has already started, although the exact nature of the film will not b be known until later.
The acts range from the time of ancient Egypt to 2500 years hence and while the greater part of this is humorous in nature, several bits of it are too strange. In short, this type of production has never been seen in Lawrence and it is not only the most unique, but one of the best efforts of the Dramatic Arts Department at most entertaining shows given in Lawrence in recent years.
The Northwestern University glee club is to give a concert at the University of California.

for New Mellon
Reduction
(United Press)
Washington, March 24—A cut in the taxes equal to the cut, of last year, may *be expected this coming* (all, high treasury officials believe).
With selling machines rapidly totalling the income tax returns of March 15, the treasury officials determined that at least $753,099,650 are available for surplus in the plan to reduce taxes.
This future compares favorably with the $235,000 saved up for the most recent cut and had gives the treasury experts confidence to announce a cost-cutting cut which without a dollar drop would be the deal.
Just which class of taxpayers will receive the greatest benefit from his proposed cut has not yet been determined. Secretary of the Treasury Mallon has indicated that he will not pay for tax reduction or for tax reduction as he did last year.
Mollon has properly informs
Senator Greene of the house ways
and means committee that there is
an estimated amount lying in
the treasury funds which he will be
paid with an amount by the in-
come tax returns.
Secretary of the Treasury Melon is still of the opinion that the greatest benefit to be derived will be done by distributing to all the present high-surat payers a 25 per cent maximum. Efforts will be made to abolish the inheritance tax and margs so-called雯 taxes.
Quarry to Be Abandoned
Saving on Crushed Rock Cost Has Been Great
"The rack quarry located at the west end of the campus is to be filled up very soon and the rack exhilar is superintendent of buildings and grounds, when asked concerning this spot which has designee the campus
The query has been profitable to the University, according to Mr. Ball, and it is possible that another site on the campus will be selected for a quarry. The rock is of better quality than that available elsewhere in this country, and that it is near at hand means a big saving in the cost of hurling.
"The crushed stone used in building the roads on the campus came from the old quarry. It cost less than $1 a cubic yard to quarry and $10 a cubic yard to build elsewhere the cost would probably have been about $3. By crushing 2 or 50 yard) more of rock, we will have enough crush on hand to last for the next six or seven months and the road will close down," he said.
