TAX CONSIDERED
AT OPEN FORUM
Howard Allaway, Head of Student Council Committee
On Plan Presents Outline; Professor E. 1
Schramm Endorses Idea Strongly.
frvtr seventy-five students of the university, representing
organization and publication beads, discussed the student activ
ities blanket tax as proposed by the student council for 1he con
sideration of the student body, last night at the Social Sciences
auditorium with Phil Brownell, president of the student council,
presiding.
xne ia pitui, uiv.li " no y
cepted by the seniors or me uni
versity in yesterday's elections by
more than a 3 to 1 majority, was
outlined fully by woware, Aiiaway,
chairman of the student council
committee which drafted the meas
ure for student approval,
in presenting the plan as it ap
pears on the student ballot, All
away stated that the tax was de
signed primarily to distribute the
burden of financing of the vari
ous activities now existing on the
Nebraska campus among the stu
lent bodv as a whole.
"While student approval of the
nronosed plan is not the final
i tion UDon the measure, it is
highly improbable that the board
of regents, which makes the final
approval of the measure, will over
lnnw a strone student sentiment
favoring the adoption of the meas
ure," explained Allaway.
Would Reduce Levy.
It was also pointed out that the
tax would reduce the present
activity levy by over 40 percent,
as well as increase immeasurably
student interest in its activities
nd institutions.
Students should realize the fact
that the ballot tax represents, in
a sense, some maximum estimates,
and if any revisions are made by
the faculty it will be downward
revision only, declared Air. Ana
wav.
"Probably the biggest objection
to the tax plan is the fact that
some students, who constitute i
small minority, are unable finan
ciallv to pav the fee. This matter

Knife and Fork Club,
Finance Group,
Meets.
Inflation was the aabject of a
speech riven by Prof. John E.
Kirahman, of the finance depart
ment, at a meeting of the Knife
and Fork club Thursday. He also
touched upon the various concep
tions of Inflation held by the pub
lic, discarding them in favor of
this: "Inflation is a rise in prices
intentionally created by changing
the currency."
Those being discarded as untrue
or partially true were that infla
tion la an increase In currency, an
expansion of bank credit and the
Idea that goin,j off the gold stand
ard and devaluing the dollar is in
flation. This last, upon analysis, Is
quite harmless, he said.

PROTESTS

AFTER CLOSE AG
Indications Point Toward
Investigation of
All Results.
VOTE IS NOT ACCEPTED
Possible Fraud Is Charged
As Result of Many
Upsets.
By George Round.
Following one of the most close
ly contested elections in the his
tory of the agricultural college on
Thursday, a storm of protest was
pronounced with the indication
that the entire election may be
contested. Indications late in the
evening pointed toward a complete
investigation of results, which,
some leaders say, did not check
out accurately.
The 1933 election was one of
the most weird of all times on the
Ag compus. Altho two of the fac
tions Farm House and the barbs
were combined, the final tallies
indicated that only Alpha Gamma
Rho and Farm house candidates
were successful in gaining offices.
Student leaders, it was said,
were unwilling to accept the final
vote tally as given out from Dean
Burr's office immediately after
the counting board had finished
its job. It was charged that pos
sible fraud had entered into the
elections which was indicated by
some distinct upsets.
Ralston Defeats F i 1 ley.
Vernon Filley, barb candidate
for man at large on the executive
board, was evidently defeated by
Bill Ralston, Alpha Gamma Rho in

COLONEL DAILEY
Oury Says Parade Is Best
Regiment Has Ever
Put On.
The inspection of the university
R. O. T. C. unit Wednesday and
Thursday was pronounced the best,
by the inspecting officer, Lieut. -
Col. George F. N. Dailey, stationed
with the 34 th division of the Na
tional Guards at Council Bluffs,
la., of any in the schools he had
examined. The parade Thursday
afternoon was the best the regi
ment has put on according to Col.
W. H. Oury, commandant of the
unit.
Colonel Outv believed that the
i drill was not as good as it could
I have been because of the bad
weather, but both the basic and
I advanced students did well and the
j inspection was very creditable.
Theoretical inspection.
The basic and advanced men
were given a theoretical inspec
tion on Wednesday covering the
work of the semester. The inspec
tion was thoro and complete and
was considered satisfactory by
Colonel Dailey.
Practical exercises in musketry,
marksmanship, first aid, and the
automatic rifle were given by the
basic men on Thursday morning.
The advanced officers at the same
time were examined on sketching,
military history, military law, and
subjects of a similar character.
The main event of the afternoon
on Thursday was the parade of
the regiment for the reviewing
officer. The unit was rated on
general appearance including
clothing, fit, and the set-up of the
regiment. Companies who were
called upon to give special demon
strations of particular parts of the
drill work of the unit were Head
quarters company which presented
physical drill. Company H which
gave an example of close order
drill, and Company E which dem
onstration extended order drill.
The faculty officers and the higher
cadet officers inspected the com
panies individually.
Following the inspection of the
whole regiment the junior and
senior cadet officers were tested
with a problem in minor tactics.
LIBRARIAN IS GIVEN
ITIONAL
No Appropriation Is Made
For Work Assigned
By Legislature.
Additional duties without the
benefit of intended appropriations
is to be the lot of the university
librarian, it was discovered Thurs
day, when a legislative error in the
bill abolishing the state library
commission was found shortly
after Governor Bryan had r'gned
the bill.
Transfer of the commission's
duties to the university librarian
was provided for in the bill, but
the clause appropriating $1,000 for
this purpose, altho contained in we
body of the bill, was omitted from
the title, and is thererore wenec
tive. Legislators intended that the
librarian should have this appro
priation but prospects are that the
next biennium Must be completed
without it.
The bill becomes effective Aug.
