Sorority pledge numbers up
This year's formal rush pledge class was nearly 55 members stronger than last year's because of house additions and a new annexing policy that will allow some sorority members to live at Jayhawker Towers.
The amexing program was encouraged by the Panhellenic Association, which governs the KU sororites, in an effort to get more students involved in the Greek system, according to Mary Murguia, Panhellenic vice president for membership.
Of the 643 women who registered for rush, 418 were asked to pledge one of
twelve sororities. Murguia said this represented 65 percent of the women who went through rush.
Sorotories such as Chi Omega and Beta Phi Bi plan to take part in the anningex at the Towers on an experimental basis, filling one to three apartments with interested upperclassmen.
The Alpha Delta Pi and the Delta Delta Dha house presidents said that they wouldn't be annexing, but would have additions to their houses complied by the fall semester and would be able to accommodate more members.
The Tri Delta have tried an annex program for the past three years, but decided to use the funds spent on the plan to buy more staff. According to Karen Dittmer, president.
The Sigma Kappa house didn't take part in formal choreography, but will be holding a program.
of the 418 new pledges, Alpha Chi Omega pledged 34; Alpha Delta Pi, 47; Alpha Gamma Delta, 19; Alpha Omicron Pi, 21; Alpha Phi, 40; Chi Omega, 35; Delta Delta Delta, 45; Delta Gamma, 45; Gamma Phi Beta, 31; Kappa Alpha Theta, 50; Kappa Kappa Alpha, 29; and Pit Beta Phi, 29.
KU credit union's business outgrows facilities
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
The KU Federal Credit Union has a problem—not enough room to handle the business of its 6,638 members, involves nearly $7 million worth of assets.
"We just don't have enough room," Janet Price, manager of the credit unit, said.
As the first step toward constructing a new credit union, the credit union plans to open a small branch office at the university. The credit union, which serves KU faculty, staff and students, handles more than 500 transactions a day and 100 new accounts a month. Price it. It offers 20 minutes of room foot in 101 Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
The branch office, which Price said should be open by Feb. 15, would house two tellers and one administrative office to handle deposits and withdrawals.
"Basically, it'll just be a deposit withdrawal situation, although applications for loans may be available there also," price said.
£rice said the location of the branch site was the result of a survey done two years ago to determine the area that would best be served by a branch office. "The credit union is inaccessible here," she said, pointing out parking problems and distance of Carruth from the main campus.
"So we asked ourselves what would

"The survey showed that people in the southwest part of Lawrence wanted it and needed it," she said.
The membership itself has grown from the 10 charter members of January 1962 to its present total of nearly 7,000 members, Price said.
Growing interest in the credit union was illustrated Sunday afternoon when 697 members attended the credit

County Demos back severance tax
American Society of Travel Agents
or stop by our downtown office. 900 Mass.
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
Douglas County Democrats gave their full support to Gov. John Carlin's proposed desecured tax last night.
"The severance tax is clearly something Kansas has needed for years," David Berkowitz, chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Central Committee, said at a meeting at the Lawrence Public Library.
"This is the first time we have had a chance. I think we will have one, if not in this session then at least in the next Legislature."
The severance tax, a tax on minerals, promises to be one of the biggest issues in the 1982 Kansas legislative session.
Gov. Carlin's plan calls for a 5 percent tax on the production of oil and natural gas, a 4 percent tax on natural gas liquids and a 2 percent tax on coal.
The revenues from the tax would go to the state's general fund, freeing more money for schools and highway repair. Carlin said several times during last year's unsuccessful fight to它它 him against a lawsuit against Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, other Republicans, and by oil and gas manufacturers.
Carlin also argued that a severance tax would hold down property taxes by reducing the property tax burden of supporting schools.
property taxes would increase by another $50 to $100 million next year.
House Minority Leader Fred Weaver, D-Baxter Springs, recently predicted that if the severance坟 failained, again.
ine governor has built the severance tax into the budget for the first time this year," said State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence." Our biggest stumbling block is Mr. Doyen. He's just sitting over there on the right. I think if he wants to do that, we should let him sit over there by himself."
State Rep. Jesse Branson, D-Lawrence, said that research was being done into other ways of raising money, in taxes, or taxes on alcohol and cigarettes.
"But most of the legislators feel that until we've resolved the severance tax, not much else can be done," she said. "If we don't resolve it, the serious and overwhelming needs in higher education that concern our community."
