As the contract now reads the $6,000 donated by the University will be spent to build a hangar which will become a part of the real estate, thus belonging to the University. Formerly the $6,000 was to be spent on new runways.
Municipal Airport Contract Is Signed
The contract has yet to be signed by William A. Ong, third party to the contract and leasee of the airport. The Lawrence city council voted to accept the change Monday.

Second Gadfly Appeared Today
The second issue of the Gadfly, self-titled "student paper of liberal opinion on social problems," appeared today, bearing two editorials and an explanation of the Gadfly's policies.
"Realizing that the liberals on the campus had no articulate means of expressing themselves, the editors seek to provide this means," the article explained. "The Gadfly has as its purpose to present the liberal side of issues involving not only the University, but also the world at large."
The longer of the two editorials, called "Reflections," concerned the celebration of the anniversary of Pearl harbor.
The other editorial, "Profit or Loss," discussed Bill 13 of the ASC in which the legal jurisdiction over the Book Exchange was transferred. The Gadfly pointed out "the inconsistency of the bill itself," while approving the general attitude of the ASC on a book exchange.
Readers of the Gadfly were asked to sign and mail in a ballot stating, "I believe that the Board of Regents' ban against Japanese-American students at state institutions should be lifted—immediately."
