Two fraternities to appeal tax decision on real estate
Two University of Kansas fraternities declared Wednesday that they intend to appeal a district court decision that they must pay taxes on real estate and personal property. Alpha Kappa Lambda and Sigma Alpha Epsilon will appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court concerning the assessment of $9,-210.58 in taxes paid under protest in 1968.
Douglas County District Court Judge Frank Gray said the fraternities must pay taxes because they are corporations and are not "benevolent and educational" to the extent they should escape local taxes.
The fraternities contended that they were non-profit organizations but the court ruled they do make profits. J. Glen Hahn, Kansas City, Mo., attorney for the two fraternities, said that the real
issue was whether or not the houses are educationally centered.
Hahn said the two fraternities were the only houses presently contesting the issue. All of the other houses on the KU campus are currently paying the taxes. If the appeal is successful, Hahn said the other fraternities might use the case as a precedent.
Hahn said there is a question concerning the money taken in by house fees going to the payment and maintenance of household goals. Kansas law states that such household goods are not subject to taxation, Hahn said.
The case will not go to the Kansas Supreme Court for another 15 to 18 months, Hahn said.
