Hunters----Send Quail Wings To Museum
Students who go quail nunting this season can do the University a service by cutting the right wing off their kill and sending it to the Museum of natural history.
Bv JEANNE LAMBERT
These wings will be examined there by Dr. Rollin Baker, assistant professor of zoology, in an attempt to learn more about the birth-mortality rate of the game birds.
If an abundance of young birds is found in the state an extension of the "harvest season," as Dr. Baker calls it, might be recommended.
By looking at the wings Dr. Baker can tell whether the bird is young or old. Young birds have tattered wings. Older birds have smooth glossy feathers, because they molt right before hunting season and new feathers come in.

Dr. Baker also hopes to discover whether or not the unusual amount of rainfall and other weather conditions in Kansas the past year have affected the quail population.
All quail wings should be tagged with the location of the kill and sent either to the museum or to the office of the Douglas county clerk.
If a student does not already have a quail stamp to attach to his hunting license, he can no longer purchase one in Douglas county. The fish and game commission which issues the stamps, sent 1,100 to the county clerks office here and these are gone. Usually the office has a surplus to return at the end of the season.
Quail may be shot in the county on the following days: Nov. 30, Dec.2,4,6 and 8.
The mimosa is known as the "sensitive plant." If the pot is gently shaken, or if the leaves are lightly touched, the leaves immediately bend downwards as if the plant were dying.

Theater Audience Enjoys Pan In Pimlico' Fantasy
By PHIL NEWMAN
A novel theatrical style, that of staged reading, entertained a KU audience at the season's second Lab theater program Wednesday and Thursday evenings. ◆
Two other plays were on the program but "Pan in Pimlico," a fantasy on human nature, was the most impressive.
With a complete absence of scenery, costumes and other theatrical tools, the drama challenged the theater-goers to construct their own individual set and form a mind's eye picture of the action.
Ernie Dade and Sam Sebesta as two mythological fauns, formed the framework of the story. Carolyn Oliver mastered the difficult Cockney dialect necessary in the production.
Peggy Horne and Dale Bowers appeared at ease in their roles of the unperturbed-through-anything husband and wife.
Everyone had fun in presenting an old favorite farce, A. A. Milne's "The Man in the Bowler Hat."
Patricia McNabney's performance in the psychological drama, "Escape by Moonlight," somewhat belied her
lack of collegiate drama experience.
As the psychologically-tormented Kathy, Miss McNabney led the cast in entertainment. David Conley's easy style seems to have held over from his part in the recent musical show "Good Medicine."
The plays continue at 8 p.m. today in the Little theater in Green hall. Tickets are 25 cents each and will be on sale at the box office.
To Talk On Mental Hygiene
Mrs. Anni W. Frankl, instructor in psychology, will speak on "Mental Hygiene for Pre-School Children and Their Parents" at 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, at the KU Nursery school, 11th and Missouri streets. Anyone interested in the welfare of pre-school children may attend the meeting sponsored jointly by the Lawrence Pre-School association and the KU Nursery School Parent group.

The number of federal prisoners in the United States reached a peak of almost 28,000 in 1932 but declined by 10,000 immediately after the repeal of prohibition.
Most of the sources of the River Jordan, as well as much of the stream itself, now lie outside the young republic of Israel, observes the National Geographic society.
