Lots of Lettuce Is Bunnies' Reward
Kate, a former Kansas University student, is a bunny at the Kansas City, Mo., Playboy Club because the job pays well, she told a speech class yesterday.

"The whole idea of this job for me is to make enough money so I can do what I want to with my life," she said. "I was teased about being a funny at first, but I just say 'look at how much I made this week,' and the teasing quit."
Bunny Kate, Former KU Student, Says Customers Just Look
While working less than 25 hours a week, Kate said she planned to go to school in Europe on her earnings. In addition to her 15 per cent commission on sales, she said she had many opportunities to earn money through modeling and promotion work.
Kate said a bunny must be young, fairly intelligent, and have a fairly good figure—"but they can do just about anything they want with those costumes."
Potential Playboy bunnies receive 40 hours of training where they memorize the club liquors and learn to serve the customers properly.
Serving customers properly necessitates learning the unusual "bunny dip," a technique that entails leaning backward across the table to serve the customers.
"It's absolutely the most comfortable way to serve. If you serve the conventional way by leaning over the customers, your server is not very likely to fail out of the costume," she said.
Most of the bunnies are married and have children, and a lot of the girls are college graduates. Kate said, One Kansas City bunny is studying to become a doctor, and two are enrolled in nursing school.

"When you're a bunny, it's like you're not a person. The customers don't grab you, but they offer you treats because they think of you as a bunny. I've never had a customer touch me," she said.

Older businessmen make up the majority of the club's clientele.
"I don't think the main idea of these men is to date the bunnies. A lot of them probably come just to look at the girls," she said.
Club memberships to women are somewhat restricted. A woman can obtain a club membership only if she is listed as the "playmate" of some male member, Kate
Kate has been a Kansas City bunny for eight months and soon will be transferred to a new city.
