A $380 profit over a two-
year period from the student
discount card program will be
expiainea Dy the program's
originator before the Student
Council judiciary committee
next week.
Bob Kerrey, who is second
vice president of the Council,
explained the financial set-up
before the regular meeting of
the Council yesterday during
discussion on an amended mo
tion to arrange the judiciary
vvmuufc;c Hearing.
He told fhf rniinnll ha Aa!

names appeared on the dis
count cards, kept two-
imras ana oifered the same
commission to other members
01 his committee, and others
it, and approximately $300 this
year, Lydick said.
An amended version of
motion by Shirley Voss was
passed by Council, requesting
Kerrey to "appear before
the Judiciary Committee for
d nearing so as to determine
the facts of the Student Dis
count card."
JoAnn Strateman. first vico
president and chairman of the
judiciary Committee, said the
nearing would be held at the
earnest possible date, probab
ly the end of next week.
Miss Voss's resolution, be
fore it was amended by Mike
Barton, called for 1.) With
drawing its endorsement of
the Student Discount Cards
until such time as it can be ar
ranged that no individual is
receiving a profit from the
card. 2.) Presenting U the
Judiciary Committee the
facts concerning lh
which have been made on the
cards and 3.) Requesting that
Mr. Bob Kerrey appear be
fore the Judiciary Committee
lor a hearing regarding the
continuance of his member
ship in this organization."
The issue was raised when
Council President John Lydick
told the Council that it had
come to his attention that Ker
rey was making a profit on
the sale to businessmen of
Student Discount Cards.
Lydick said that a letter had
come into the Council office
iwo months ago, with a check
ior iHu made out to Kerrev.
Dennis Christie, last year's
vuuncu president had origin-
uy pruposea me idea of a
discount card, Lydick said,
and had asked Kerrey to work
on the idea through the Stu
dent Welfare Committee.
According to Lydick, Kerrey
told the Council last year that
the money received for the
discount cards would go for
printing costs. Last year Ker
rey made $81 in personal prof-
Kerrey told the Council that
he was "fresh in student gov
ernment," and was working
on "a method to make the
discount card idea work."
He said he knew that the
idea had been tried bv the
Council before, but was not
successful. A pradnato ce
dent Who had worked on the
idea previously consented to
neip mm, Kerrey said, but
could not afford to do it with
out some pay.
Thus, Kerrey said, he of
fered the student two-thirds
profit on all his sales. He said
he made the same offer to
others for sales.
Kerrey told the Council "t
would never trv to conceal
this. The Welfare rvimmittoo
knew that I would be making
profits, because I told them
so.
"I operated in pooH faith
under the assumption that
what I was doing was right."
Kerrev maintained that had
he felt what he was rioinc
illegal, he would not have said
anything to the Council this
year about the cards, and
would not have had anv
checks, sent to the Council
office.
Miss Stratemann fnlrf tho
Council that Kerrev's main
justification for his actions I
was inai ne was "not ques
tioned bv the Council " Thic ic
a reflection on the Council,
she said, showing that "o u r
eyes w ere not wide open."
"B u t," she maintained
even n no one tells vou it's
wrong, a student government
representative should know
mis is wrong."
She said that no one on the
Council either last year or
this year knew the amount of
money which was coming in
for the discount cards.
Jean Probasco, last year's
Council treasurer, told the
Council that "no money was
taken in by us."
Miss Stratemann said that
though she didn't "relish say
ing this, we should do some-
ming about this matter right
away."
Susie Segrist and former
council member Jim Baer
both maintained to the Coun
cil that since Kerrey had
acted in good faith, and the
Council did not make any at
tempts to look into the matter
eitner year, Kerrey should not

cards were discussed. She
said that the Council, in pass
ins a motion callin? for Conn-
cil endorsement of the cards,
was under the impression that
mere would be no personal
profits. "Thus I think it was
concealed," she said
Miss Segrist maintained
that no action should have
been taken at the C o u n c i 1
meeting, since there was
more humiliation Mian moral
ity Involved in the issue.
She proposed an amendment
to the motion, calling for the
siriKing oi me first two points,
and the words "continuance
of membership in this organ
ization" in the third point.
in response to the amend
ment, Miss Stratemann asked

was replaced bv Barton's
amendment, which was final

Kerrey told the Council that
he felt there was "plenty of
bias now," and that an im
partial group should iudee the
action, rather than the Judi
ciary Committee.

Miss Voss told the Council
that with the motion and the
amendment by Barton, Coun

hearing, but t he Committee
would have the power for the
nnai decision.
Miss Stratemann reported

Committee, John Kenagy told
Council members that the
luncheons which were to be
held with Nebraska senators
had not taken place. He said
that the program had re
ceived the support of the
deans of the colleges, but it
had been difficult to contact
and make appointments with
the legislators.

Students Liable
or State Taxes
University students not only must pay federal taxes
but there are several taxes levied by the state that stu
dents may be liable for also.
According to Mr. Bill Peters of the tax commissioner's
office, every student over 21 and a resident of the state
has to pay a head tax and the Kerr-Mills tax. The cur
rent head tax is $3.50, said Peters, and the Kerr-Mills
tax is $2.
Students included in the above categories should file
a personal tax statement at the county assessor's office.
The head tax is for general funds and the Kerr-Mills
tax is used to finance medical care for the aged.
Peters listed those exempt from the head tax: the
insane. Public charees. the Wind, military riPmnmiAl volun
teer firemen, totally disabled veterans, and persons tak
ing vows of poverty due to their religious order.

passed from the general file by a vote of 5 to 2. He said
this bill would eliminate household tax and substitute a

ages of 21 and 60.
This means that those with household p.Hk would ho
paying less and University students Mould be paying
more, he said. PtrK felt this hill had a

He said mere is another bill, for laier f'fincin'pral inn

ible tax, and five times the tax on the intangibles. He
warned that even savings accounts are liable, except for
certain kinds of building savings and loan accounts.
Some cities of the primary class, 40,000 to 200,000, have
a head tax of up to $3 for those between the ages of 21
and 60, Peters said.
Additional information may be obtained from the tax
commissioner's office 477-5211, extension 505.
Approximately 100 student
assistants will be appointed
in both Men's and Women's
Residence Halls for the 1965-66
academic year. Deadline for
applications is March 1.
These positions require men

Administration Building.
The Board of Regents has
proposed a one-half million
dollar addition to Memorial
Stadium.
The proposed addition would
close in the north end, giving
the stadium a bowl appear
ance. The addition would con
tain 17,000 seats, and boost
the total seating capacity of
the stadium to 61,336. The ad
dition would be built in front
of the field house, and would
cover part of the newly re
surfaced track.
The proposal could be put
into effect with an increase
in the two year season ticket
price to $55. Ticket manager
Jim rutenger said he had
nearly 6500 orders for 1965
season tickets that he has not
jet filled.
"It has been my impression
that when you get west of
Lincoln, many people de
sire tickets but are unable to
get them," Regents' President
Val Peterson said. "This was
indicated to me by a show of
nands at a meeting in Hol
drege just the other night"
Peterson said that Athletic
Director Tippy Dye and the
Board of Regents want expan
sion "if it is economically
feasible-"
The Regents are asking that
anyone interested In season
tickets submit by March 1 a
check for $55 to ticket man
ager Jim Pittenger at the
Coliseum to cover the cost of
a season ticket for ltfis and
1966.
"We want to ask the people
interested in Nebraska foot
ball tickets to indicate their
interest by submitting orders
under these terms," Peterson
said.
"We are not asking those
already holding season tickets
or who already have requests
for season tickets to submit
such a check, but we likely
will ask that they do so with
in a month," he continued.
Peterson pointed out that
the number of seats In the
addition would depend on the
interest shown.
"If it develops that we onlv
need 5,000 more seats, then
we would add only 5,000," be
said. The Regents president
also pointed out that if more
than 5.000 are added lbe sta
dium track would be lost.
The athletic department just
spent $10,000 resurfacing the
track that will be the site of
the Big Eight Outdoor Cham
pionships in May. The track-
however, would not be affect
ed this season, Peterson noted.
If the addition is made, no
work that would hamper a
track meet would be under
taken until about June I, Pe
terson said.
Deadline Tomorrow
For Queen Applicants
May Queen applications
have been distributed to the
various living units. The ap
plications must be returned
to 207 Administration building
not later than 5 p.m. tomor
row. Additional applications
may be picked up in room 207.
Peterson said he could not
rveal plans for replacement
of the track. "All I can say
is that it would be put la a
proper and adequate place,
he said.
The one-half million dollar
project likely would be fi
nanced bv revenue bonds.
Comptroller Joseph Soshnik
said. However, if less than the
17,000 seats are added the
cost would be considerably
less.
