SGA sent representatives to
the Board of Regents to appeal
Douglas' action.
However, the regents, to no
one’s surprise, showed little or
no interest in the affair and the
appeal fell on deaf ears.
AS A RESULT, Douglas’
committee assumed responsi
bility for the entire budget
(except travel requests) and
that is where the situation
remains today. The only
difference in the present
situation and the action im
posed by Douglas' proposal is
structural. The committee is
made up of four faculty and
administrators and five stu
dents as a result of the refusals
of some students to serve on

By BILL KRl EGER
Staff writer
The Student Government
Association Lobbying Commit
tee. the Interfraternity Council
(IFC), and the Panhellenic
Council are working for an
exemption to the Ad Valorem
Tax law that makes several
fraternities and sororities pay
property taxes.
“This will l>e the fifth year
that we have presented the bill
to the state legislature. But
this year's effort is not at all
comparable to last year's.”
Bob Wolters. advisor to frater
nities. said.
The Ad Valorem Tax
charges fraternities and soror
ities not on campus property a
property tax The fraternities
and sororities on Lumpkin
Street and River Road are
exempt from this tax because
they are on Univeristy prop
erty.
The amount fraternities and
sororities are paying ranges
from $2000 to $6000 a year,
depending on the value of the
property and the house.
Wolters added
Recently Clarke County
voted to raise the sales tax by
four percent. This caused the
property tax to drop about a
third “As revenue increases
from the sales tax the property
tax should be lowered I am
basing this on what Upshaw
Bentley 'mayor of Athens) has
said.” Wolters said
The IFC, Panhellenic Council
and the lobbying committee
are working on an exemption
to the law in cooperation with
Georgia Tech organizations by
writing letters and making
phone calls to legislators.
“Last year we made an all
out effort for the exemption
and it never got out of
committee. This year we have
laid back a great deal becaus*
we were tired of beating oui
heads against the wall,”'
Wolters added.
Two of the reasons cited by
Wolters for the exemption
were the alternative to campus
housing (ireek residences pro
vide and that some houses
must pay taxes and others do
not.
“If the University was to
have to provide housing for all
the students living in houses it
would cost them better than $6
million.” Wolters said.
“We have nevyr been able to
get the local support necessary
to get the bill passed,” Wolters
said The legislators in Athens
have to look out for the citizens
of Athens, who would have to
make up the loss if taxes were
cut for University students.
Of the houses that have to
pay taxes. Zeta Tau Alpha
sorority pays the most. $5700 a
year, according to Wolters. Chi
Omega sorority pays $5200 a
year in property taxes, while
Kappa Kappa Gamma pays
$3800 a year. Alpha Gamma
Rho Iraternity pays $3100 a
year, and Theta Chi pays
$2300. according to Wolters.
