East ruled this week that it must pay inherit ance taxes. The case went to Judge East Feb. 5 when the State of Oregon claimed the organization should pay inheritance taxes on its pro perty at 727 13th Ave. E. The property was willed in May, 1944, to Co-Ed Housing Inc., of which Rebec House is a member, by the late George Rebec, former dean of the graduate school. The organization had sought an exemption from taxes as a benevol ent or charitable organization, but Judge East ruled that the group's real purpose was "to provide econo mic living for students with limit ed resources," and defined a strict ly charitable group as one which applies its revenues to the relief of its members. Although it commended the spirit behind the organization, the court declared that "to hold that such an organization is exempt from the inheritance tax would do violence to the meaning of the words ‘charitable’ and ’benevol ent’.” (Please turn to page eight) 51 Senior Ball Will Feature King Perry's Musical Group ■Ur ? i KING PERRV, whose orchestra will play Saturday night in the Stu di'nt I nion ballroom when the Senior class presents its annual dance, “Cotton Pickers’ Ball."
