Ballot by Student
Council.

to the student body itself for ap
proval or rejection when the
referendum vote, held in connec
tion with registration for next
fill begins Monday morning. .
' All undergraduate students who

tive deans' offices as they complete
their registration process this
week. The referendum will con
tinue thruout the week, closing at
noon Saturday, May 27th.
The ballot is divided into three
parts. First, there Is a brief ex
planation of the compulsory activ

dont publications, athletics and
other projects of all-school inter
est. The second part puts the
question to a "yes" or "no" vote
as a principle. The third part of

inclusion in the plan with squares
where each student will check
those ho thinks should be included.
A copy of the activities tax
ballot will be found elsewhere in
today's Nebraskan.

students approve the plan as a
principle for financing student
projects, a detailed recommenda
tion to the board of regents, in
cluding those items which get the(
approval of a preponderant ma
jority of those voting, will be
formulated by the council.
A sample vote of s ior opinion
on the plan was take., at the re
cent regular spring election, giv
ing the plan 210 Xo 79 approval.
"It is, however, the opinion of the
underclass students since they,
not graduating seniors, will
have to pay the tax that the
council wants before it 'goes fur
ther with the plan," the council
In a final statement before the
activities tax committee explained,
voting begins, Howard Allaway,

CONNECTION
A Summary of the Arguments
In Favor of the Blanket Tax
The following summary of points in favor of the activity tax
plui which will be voted on by all undergraduate students during
the coming week presents the editorial point of view as to why
this paper favors the activity tax.
1. Because every student pays the tax, the cost of the various
enterprises to each individual is reduced very greatly.
2- AH enterprises and publications which are a part of the
tax plan are guaranteed a certain financial support and can lay
their plans definitely to insure a uniform quality of their services
to the students.
3. The tax plan provides a means for financing such campus
improvements as a student union building, unusual convocation pro
grarns, etc., which is clearly the best way of financing such projects.
1- The tax plan makes probably the existence of a far more
unified student spirit on the campus since all instead of just part
of the students will be taking part in various student enterprises.
r The tax plan eliminates the necessity for so many sub
scription and sales campaigns. Like a community chest subscrip
tion, the tax takes care of these various items in semesterly payment.-!.
Student projects such as the Student council would become
absolutely independent student organizations not having to rely for
tu'ir financial support upon gifts from university and athletic
fund
7. For those who are absolutely financially unable to pay the
tax exemption provisions will be made.

Sample Ballot
ACTIVITIES TAX BALLOT.
The activities tax plan, as here proposed by the Student council, is a
plan for financing certain activities and enterprises of general student in
terest by spreading the cost over the entire student body, thereby reducing
the cost to the individual student and, at the same time, maintaining the
necessary revenues for tne operation of these activities and enterprises.
The proposal, if approved by this nil-student referendum, will be sub
mitted to the Board of Regents for their action with the recommendation
of the Student council that it be adopted beginning next fall.
The fee, one-half the lump sum total for the year for the several activ
ities and enterprises included in the final plan, would be paid at the same
time regular university fees are paid each semester.
The fee would be compulsory for all full time undergraduate students,
excepting those at the Medical college and School of Nursing at Omaha.
Exemptions would be granted only on the grounds of financial inability to
pay and only after a hearing and approval by a committee of faculty
members.
The items to be included in the final plan recommended by the Student
council to the Board of Regents would be those approved by the pre
ponderent majority of students at this referendum. The figures quoted
below, while not final, would in no case exceed those quoted for any item.
They would be subject to downward revision after investigation by the
Board of Regents. If any item could not be offered in the plan at the
figure quoted, it would not be recommended by the council for inclusion
in the compulsory plan at all.
Do you favor the adoption of the student activity tax plan at Nebraska?

O Cunningham of Kansas and
Newblock of Oklahoma were res
ponsible for the bettering of the
old marks in the 880 and the high
jump respectively, and Cunning
ham made it a big day for himself
by winning the mile and the two
mile also. The great Kansas run
ning machine negotiated the half
in 1:52.2, which time bettered his
old mark of 1:53.3. Newblock high
jumped G feet 3 ?-4 inches to oust
the 6 foot 3 5-8 mark held by Mil
ton Ehrlick of Kansas State. The
old half mile mark was set last
spring, and the jump record was
set up in 1931.
Heye Lambertus, who was doped
to set up a new Eig Six record in
the 220-yard low hurdles, hit the
last barrier and sprawled in the
dust, thus blasting his hopes un
til next year. He won this title last
spring when he was clocked in
23.6 seconds. Plumley of Kansas
won the race In 24.7 seconds.
Coach Schulte's squad made the
affair a dual meet with Kansas,
with the other teams delving in
for a few points now and then. It
was the second and third places
which enabled the Huskers to
come thru with the successful de
fense of the title. Out of the fif
teen events the Jays won 10 and
the Scarlet 3. Nebraska, usually
powerful in the track events, and
not much so on the field, reversed ,
the usual set of things, and piled
up eleven counters in both the dis
cus and javelin events, and 10 in
the broad jump. Scoring 6 points
in the shotput, 6 1-2 in the pole
vault, and 2 5-6 in the high jump.
