(UP) The art of dancing, which once was banned from Kansas schools as sinful, is back in such favor that State Sen. Payne II. Ratner of Parsons wants it rec ognized as an important part of the curriculum. Ratner's efforts are being made as part of a campaign to exempt extra-curricular activities from the state's sales tax. Ratner argued be fore the Kansas Supreme Court that a youth must learn to dance to boast of an education. The state senator seeks the exemp tion of student dance tickets from the sales tax and also wants football game tickets similarily exempted. The Hollon, Kas., school board has refus ed to pay the tax on its school events and the state tax commission has begun mandamus proceedings to force this payment. "The boy or girl who isn't educat ed in dancing goes into the world under a great handicap," Ratner aid "and may not be able to hold his own with the youngsters of other states." At one time in Kansas when Miss Lorraine Elizabeth Wcoster was state school superintendent, a campaign to eliminate dancing from school build ings was conducted.
