Fraternities Fight Movement to Tax Societies' Houses
Advances Against Propose Measure Will Be Made During Easter Vacation
Plans for combating the movement to tax fraternities by state action were discussed Sunday at the meeting of the inter-fraternity board, up in the legislature, and has a good chance of passing if some organized lobbing is not done by the fraternities according to members of the council.
A circular letter to the various fraternity men and women was adopted by the council and ordered sent. The object of this letter is to get every person who joins in with the politicians in their districts during the Easter vacation and get the candidates to leave the "fraternity tax proposition" out of their platform so that they will not feel neurally bound to support such a measure.
Arguments Against Tax
Arguments Against Tax
Five different arguments against the bill are advanced in the letter, as follows:
1. Fraternal organizations such as the Masons, O. L. O., F. and Elks are exempt from such taxation in the state of Kansas. Fraternities have the same benevolent features in addition to the educational feature.
3. Fraternities and sororites are not operated for profit, and every effort is made to operate economically. The effect of taxing their property would be to increase the living expenses, and thereby the cost of education, of those students who belong.
2. Fraternity property was all purchased in good faith on the assumption that the present statute would be amended. (In accordance with tax such property now.)
The only change which would result if the fraternity and sorority houses were not on the campus would be that the University would be compiled to build dormitories and the state would have to pay this extra expense, while at the same time these dormitories would be tax-free.
5. If the fraternities were taxed they would act as a double taxation in that the parents are paying taxes at the school and if taxed here are taxed twice.
Bill Comes in Next Session
The bill, which will undoubtedly be brought up in the next legislature, will, if passed, repeal the present law which says that "all real estate not exceeding one-half acre in extent, and the building thereon situated and used exclusively by any college or university society as a literary hall or as a dormitory, if not leased or other than with all books, furniture, apartments, and instruments belonging to such society, shall be exempt from taxation."
The council has adopted for its motto, "Do it Easter," and expects a yeer fraternity man or woman to play an important in an effort to de feat this bill.
Choir Presents Cantata
Old Passion Music Modernized by Presbyterian Choir
The modern version of the old Passion music was presented by the choir of the First Presbyterian church in the cantata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ" at the evening service for Palm Sunday, April 13.
Each part was treated with both solo and chorus parts which produced some dramatic effects considered unusual. The whole was a religious service rather than a concert, the spirit and meaning of the music as well as the artistic phase being outstanding.
"The work of the choir chorus was probably the finest ever given in Lawrence," and Prof. C. S. Kilton, of the School of Fine Arts. "The solo parts were excellent, and the organ accompaniment, by C. W. Streitfon, son of the conductor with the choirs. It is hoped that this form of seasonal and holiday music can be widely followed by churches in the city."
Miss Mabel Torniquet of Topeka was the week-end guest of Lois Rhinette, c'24.

University and U. S. Governmen Make Oil and Gas Tests
Dr. R. C. Moore, head of the department of geology, returned today from Russell where he has been for a few days making a geological survey with special reference to oil and gas.
The United States government and the University are co-operating in a limited survey. Work will probably be continued around Russell until the last of May. W.-W Rubey and J.D. Riley are in the department of geological surveying, are doing the field work under the direction of Doctor Moore.

NO.153
Convert's Conscience Causes Contribution
Included we find $1. A few years ago I was going to school there and I picked up two small articles in the cloakroom. Since the Lord saved them, he then reminded of this. This dollar will more than cover the price of them.
"Dear Sir;
Very truly, L."
The above letter was received at the University several days ago. No name, no explanation—just a man who had a conscience. The words, written in rather an illegible hand, were scrawled on a sheet of plain white paper. One one remembers the loss of the articles. No one knows who took them. But one man knew, and he retrieved that loss by a dollar bill and a scrawled note on a sheet of plain white paper.

Publishes 1924 Yearbook
Success of City Manager Plan Shows in Increase
At the time of going to press of the tenth issue of the yearbook, March 15, 1924, there were, so far as the office could ascertain, 326 cities operating under the city manager plan of government in the United States and Canada, as compared with 20 cities in 1914.
The city manager plan of government operating in cities in the United States with a total population of 4,725,716, according to the ten yearbook of the City Manager's Association, which has just been published, the office of the executive secretary, John G. Stuk, at the University.

Juniors Hostesses to Victims
The junior women's basketball team entertained the senior women's championship basketball team at an informal dinner Sunday evening at the home of Mrs. Emmy Gauguin. During the evening, the Shrill Whistle, the latest scandal, was read. A prophecy of the members of the championship team was given, with musical accompaniment, by the junior girls. These present besides the members of the two teams were: Margaret Barto, Ruth Hoover and Louise Phillips.
"We believe, consequently, that while part of this increase may be attributed to the natural population trend in some of the more rapidly growing cities in the newer states, it can still be taken as indicative of the progressive character of the cities operating under the city manager plan, to which the city managers themselves contribute no small part."
Mrs. R. L. Sellers, of Paula, formerly Iris Russell, A. B.'19, was a cuet at the Alpha Delta Pi house during the weekend.
Mountain breezes, cowboys and bucking bronchoes all furnished inspiration for "Flunk Insurance," the senior play. The play also has another claim to distinction. A picture of Sue Moody, c24, the author, appears in this week's Saturday Evening Post an illustration of Struthers Island in the shape of a Dude Wrynaugh. Miss Moody, with two other people, is pictured leaving the Bar-C ranch on horse back.
K.U. Playwright Gets Publicity in Magazine
Although the play is a college play, and not one of the wild and woolly western type, through the three acts there is a refreshingly western atmosphere which bears witness to the inspiration.
The picture was taken last summer when Miss Moody was working on a dude ranch in Montana. During her leisure hours she amused herself by writing, and it then was that she answered the plot of "Think突厥.”
