sans want the question put to a vote. However, most state political experts see little hope for it until 1972.
A simple majority in both chambers is all that would be required for passage of a sales law which would prohibit the sale of certain items on Sundays. The Supreme Court in 1962 declared unconstitutional a law prohibiting Sunday sale of many types of merchandise.
A 1963 law prohibiting Sunday sale of some items also was struck down. The high court ruled the exceptions in the act constituted discrimination.
"Regardless of the issues considered by the legislators, leaders of both parties believe that any action taken in the legislature will be taken with the political consequences in mind because it is being held in an election year.
B & G examines ice; okays Potter skating
The scene is Potter Lake in early January, and romance could be dangerous. But thanks to those magnificent men and their Buildings and Grounds department, it isn't.
Actually, the credit for keeping Potter Lake visitors aware of how safe the ice is goes to the Physical Education department and the B&G men assigned to them.
Every day they check the thickness of the ice by boring test holes in several portions of the lake. Three and a half to four inches is considered safe for "activities."
According to Professor Henry Shenk of the Physical Education department, there has been little trouble over the years concerning skaters, sledders or lovers dropping in unexpectedly, but this year there seems to be a new factor involved.
New Sledding Procedure
"People are sledding from the north side of the lake for the first time this year and like to slide onto the lake from the hill" says Shenk.
The only casualty reported so far this winter occured last Sunday when Alexander Mitchell of Lawrence, his wife and daughter slid onto and into the lake. No injuries or damage was reported.
Shenk reports the last test showed seven to eight inches of solid ice over the campus's favorite winter recreation and atmosphere spot.
Visitors to the lake are still warned starry eyes can mean more than one thing at Potter's— of you're not careful.

Operas to be sung
Excerpts from operas sung in French, Italian and German will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
"An Evening of Opera Excerpts," presented by 20 juniors, seniors and graduate students enrolled in an opera workshop course, is free and open to the public.
"This is the major production of opera workshop this semester," said David Holloway, voice instructor and assistant director of the production. Director of all
opratic activities is George Lawner, who also directs the University Orchestra.
Puccini's entire one-act comic opera, "Gianni Schiichi," will be sung in English for the last excerpt in the program.
"An Evening of Opera Excerpts" is produced by the music and theater departments. Each spring they also jointly present a full-length opera, with participation from the opera workshop class. This spring's opera will be Stravinsky's "The Rake's Progress."
Clocks will be exhibited
The evolution of decorative clock and watch design will be explained by John Ittmann, Cincinnati, Ohio, sophomore and Art Museum registrar, at 8 p.m. today in the Art Museum lecture hall.
When watches were first made is uncertain, but early watches were made in Germany and at Blois, France. By the middle of the 20th century it was being contended that they originated in Italy.
Ittmann will discuss the evolution from late sixteenth century to late nineteenth century in Europe. The title of his talk is "Clock and Watch Designs." The talk will be given in conjunction with a collection of timepieces on exhibit in the Art Museum. It will be on display until Jan. 19.
A dozen clocks from the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City and KU Art Museum's own collection along with 65 prints and drawings from the Metropolitan Museum are also included in the exhibition.
