Closing Hours Lessen Import Of Curfew Issue
Now that our patriotic night club owners have retired behind their saluted consciences—now that the "Little Flower" has wilted and his blasphemers are silenced—we may well sit back, put our feet on the cuspidor, and take an objective look at the curfew.
The country as a whole has been bent, but surely not broken by this cruel blow. The activities of those who possess a great deal of leisure time have been curbed, of course. And that has led to a great deal of speculation on our national morals. One probably may say with a reasonable degree of surety that while the prevalence of some forms of night life has decreased, that of others has increased. Why, some people even predict a return to the days of the speakeasy. But, from amid all this abstract conjecture (on a very high plane, of course) comes the more or less individual clamour of those deprived of their pleasure.
Wherefore arises the tumultuous and vociferous shouting? We have a right to ask—we who are accustomed to our undearing good-nights at no later than 10:28. Oh, let it not be said that we could desire a better lot—merely, that we who lend joyous shouts to an emergency closing-hour extension find a little wonder in our hearts at the necessity of Fiorello's nightly hour of grace. We find no political, moral, nor hedonistic principles at stake—just a matter of fact.
Our question, then—"Who's abused?"

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
After reading "Kansas Comments," I had to chuckle. Why would you expect students to get interested in a plan to give themselves fairer representation in the ASC? Who wants to be represented in the biggest political fail on the Hill?
Can't you just see every student on the Hill waiting with anxiety for a chance to be represented in an organization that has all the power to decide where cars can be parked or where cigarettes can be smoked.
No one wants any part of a student government association that is controlled by one man, who can ignore anything the organization does, punish anybody any way he thinks fit, or regulate the lives of the students as he wishes.
If K.U. can get an ASC that can say something and do something, you will see the interest in both the elections and the organization grow
You said that the change was brought on the belief that students are dissatisfied with the present system of elections. It is not the elections, but the system of student government that they are dissatisfied with.
—Charles F. Smith
Museum Receives Montana Rabbits
Five rabbits from the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever laboratory were sent to the Natural History museum by Maj. William L. Jellison of the United States Public Health Service, Hamilton, Mont., Dr. E. R. Hall, director of the museum, announced.
They were sent to the museum as part of a cooperative study of certain animal-borne diseases being made by the staff of the laboratory in Montana and the staff at the museum.
These are key specimens, explained Dr. Hall, in that they establish the marginal occurrences of geographic range of the two kinds of rabbits.
Scientific identification of the rabbits is made here at the museum, and identification of diseases is made at the Spotted Fever laboratory.

Rustles of spring—Ben Raymone is an unscrupulous camera fiend who prefers to shoot his victims while bathing under the sun. From his research work he finds that though the Kappas look mighty sharp draped on out their fire escape of a sunny afternoon, 'tis Fete Rader of "clut 8" who takes the cake.
Pete follows the sun around all over the premises—at 2 p.m. maybe perching up in a tree, vaguely like Tarzan, at 4 p.m. balancing precariously on the almost vertical roof, and at 6 p.m. marching to chow cocking his eager ill face up toward the sun so as not to miss a single ray.
doin' a dance dressed in a coupla sheets of crepe paper!"
It's a fifty-fifty chance—The glorified tin can that sits in front of the Teke house belongs to Jonothan Danneberg who complains that the "Mad Russian" is the most temperamental coed on the campus. And as if the "Red" didn't make enough noise by herself, various and sundry trat brothers yell from the windows
More bunnies—Over at the Deegee house, Boo McCleary and Sarah Worsley bought a pair of Easter bunnies for a pair of sailors. This being strictly agin' navy regulations, however, the anchorettes were obliged to harbor them in their own house pending transfer. Sunday night a very weary, worried Betty Leibbrand said she was still dodging wabbits—that a gal never could tell where they might turn up next and probably would.

Share and share alike—Sole inmates of the "Keyappa" house Easter weekend were Mrs. McKay, Misses Free and Everly. Marge took advantage of the secluded situation to deck herself out in all the finery of her departed sorority sisters. In fact, by the time she was ready to step out for church, she was a corporation in spiked heels—Sue Crabble, Gloria Gray, and Mary Ainsworth each having an "interest" in her outfit.
Cheesecake—Sigma Kaps threw a Gay Nineties spree recently a strictly stag affair. Mag Wright, a lil' frosh who really can can-can, was a fraction of the floor show. Just before making her grand entrance clad in a somewhat "chilly" costume, she gazed at herself ruefully in the mirror and said, "Gee, if only mother could see me now—

SURGICAL LAMP TINY AS GRAIN OF WHEAT
So tiny that it is barely visible when held in a man's hand, this "grain of wheat" lamp is made at the Bloomfield Lamp division of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company. Used mostly for surgical instruments, it generates one-fifth of a watt and measures a little over one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter.
