40 KU Students Visit Deaf School
Children who are unable to attend ordinary schools because of deafness are accepted by this state-supported school only after the age of six. Before entering the first grade the children have three years of training, and in most locations of the ninth grade, all are trained in a vocation.
While watching classes in lip-reading, it was explained to the group that although some children use sign language in their casual conversation it is not taught in the school. By not knowing sign language they make more effort to learn to speak.

State Sales Taxes Below '55 Record
March sales tax collections on February retail business in Kansas reflect a downturn from recordbreaking 1955 levels, the University bureau of business research reports. Sales tax collections are regarded as a barometer of business activity.
The $3,184,988 collected on February business is down 2.3 per cent from the seasonally low month of January but is $2,000 above the February 1955 totals. On a calendar year basis, collections for the first two months of 1965 are 2.2 per cent less than a year ago.
Collections for the 12 months ending with February are just over 45 million dollars up.5.7 per cent from the previous like period and continuing to reflect the sustained gains in all months of 1955 over 1954.
Marsala, Sicily, still remembers with awe the day in 1943 when Allied planes dropped more than 100 bombs on the town's wine works. Deep gold Marsala wine burst from tremendous casks and literally ran in the gutters. Wine lovers forgot their fear and came running with pans and bottles.

Good Friday In Greece Held Today, Student Says
By EVELYN HALL (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Today is Good Friday and Sunday will be Easter Sunday—that is, in Greek Orthodox churches all over the world. The Greek Orthodox churches still follow the Julian calendar which is behind the Gregorian calendar in general use today.
Margarita Pipinopoulou, Larissa, Greece special student, explained that Easter is celebrated in Greece about 36 days after our celebration of the resurrection of Christ. She said church services begin early in the morning Friday, and bells toll all day throughout Greece signifying the death of Christ.
Re-Enact Easter Story
An embroidered cloth representing the body of Christ is placed in every church, she said. Re-enacting the true Easter story, people place flowers and gifts around the supposed tomb, she said, which is guarded by men who represent the Roman soldiers who guarded the real tomb of Christ.
At 10 p.m. Friday, people from all the churches in a city or community, gather in the town square
for a hymn expressing praise to God, Miss Pipinopoulou said.
The Easter day services begin at midnight Saturday. Toward the end of the church service, the priest announces that Christ has risen, and each person lights a candle, and by candelight, walks home.
Easter Soup Served
About 1 a.m. Sunday morning, Miss-Pipinopoulou said, a special Easter soup is served in most Greek homes, to celebrate the occasion. Upon awaking Easter morning, she said, it is customary to say rather than good morning, "Christ is risen."
The holiday is topped off with traditional "spit roasted lamb," she said. Added to the meal are the familiar colored Easter eggs. The last Easter service is called the "Service of Love" and is held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Miss Pipinopou-lou said.
Jackson-Hole, Wyo., was called "the most talked-of outlaw rendezvous in the world." Now the bad men have departed but film companies still people the valley with gunmen, cowboys and Indians, says the National Geographic Society.
