Questions Censor Group
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Smiles of a Summer Night," is a Swedish film comedy which has received the highest praise from competent film critics in New York, Kansas City, Mo., and other large American cities for its wit, sophistication, high comic spirit and artistic finesse.
Yet this film has been denied a showing at the University of Kansas by a small and relatively unknown group of minor government officials who have been given the questionable moral if not legal power to decide what is fit for you and me to in the motion picture theatre.
I think it is fair that we ask and insist on straightforward answers to such questions as: Who are the persons that have made the decision to ban this film? What were their reasons for so doing? Are they competent to judge the artistic merits of a film?
Perhaps satisfactory and cogent answers can be given to these questions in which case we shall know that we are in good hands. We can rest in the thought that the Board has served us well and that we no longer need to make troublesome decisions for ourselves in matters of taste and artistic preference. The Board in its infinite wisdom will watch over our moral well being.
If we are not content to do this, however, and if acceptable answers to our questions are not forthcoming, then every effort should be made to ensure a re-examination of the film in which the officials would be assisted by people who know the theatre and the cinema and who can employ the recognized standards of

excellence in these fields in reaching a decision.
I would hope that if the Board gives its approval of a showing here for "educational purposes," university authorities would also agree to its immediate rescheduling.

ASC Gets Insurance
(Continued from Page 1)
The 12-month coverage will cost the single student $17.50 and a student with dependents, $96.25.
(Continued from Page 1)
The plan offers nearly full coverage for a 12-month period, while the Student Health Center plan offers less coverage for the period school is in session.
"The plan is a supplement to the present student coverage," said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, "and I encourage everyone to study the new plan."
Lower Than Normal
One important advantage of the voluntary insurance is that the student rate is 50 to 60 per cent lower than what the student would pay if he bought similar insurance coverage as an individual rather than as a group.
This is possible because the University group is at a low age level. Older people, of course, generally require more medical attention and rates have to be adjusted accordingly.
Claim Is Reduced
A large part of the student's claims against Blue Cross-Blue Shield, then, can be settled at the reduced Watkins Hospital rates when the student is on campus.
The new insurance provides the student with 12-month coverage whether he is on or off the campus. He can receive service at any registered hospital.
Here is what the student essentially receives for his present $12 fee;
1. Physical examinations.
2. Medical advice
3. Hospitalization and medicine at moderate costs. Hospitalization and board, for instance—except for obstetrics—costs $3 a day. The only limit on hospitalization is the end of the school year.
4. Immunization shots—flu, polio, etc.
5. Annual tuberculosis tests,
6. General nursing, hospitalization, and the use of the operating room in case of surgery. The student must pay the surgeon and anesthetist.
7. Dependents may use all facilities of the laboratory, X-ray and hospital at special rates. The dependent pays $9 a day for hospitalization as compared with the student rate of $3. The dependent must also pay the physician whereas the student receives the physician's services for his $12 fee.
The new plan, on the other hand,
provides:
1. All general nursing and hospital expenses in a semi-private room or up to $9 a day in a private room. The payments are good for 365 days, except 120 days a year for pulmonary tuberculosis and 30 days for nervous and mental disorders.
2. Full coverage for drugs, laboratory tests, physical therapy, and operating room.
3. Payment at community rates for X-ravs, and diagnostic and specific therapy. This means that all expenses might not be paid if treatment is received in a community which has higher rates than in Lawrence.
4. Two-thirds of the surgeon's

Students who wish to sell books which will not be used next semester may sell to an out-of-town buyer, who will pay 25 per cent of the current price listed.
The Union will be open during its regular hours during semester vacation.

5. A sum of $5 a day from the second day through the sixth day and $3 a day thereafter for doctor's visits to the hospital. This amount is paid up to 365 for general illness, 30 days for mental disorders or 120 for tuberculosis confinement.
6. A supplemental accident payment of up to $500. This payment is for a physician's service, repair of natural teeth, and an ambulance. The accident payment is over and above the other payments listed.
Dependents receive the same hospital coverage as the student, except there is a waiting period of eight months for tonsil and adenoid operation and for maternity cases. Sixty per cent of dependent drug charges are covered.
In the case of maternity care, there is full hospital coverage for the mother, nursery care for the infant. $60 for normal delivery, and $125 for a Caesarean delivery.
Student Allowed 2 Plans
If the student is presently covered by another plan, he can receive payments under both. This depends upon the plan, but most policies will pay.
If the student takes out the voluntary plan, he has to continue to pay the present $12 fee. The rates for the voluntary plan are based on student coverage under the student health service.
The plan will no, pay for loss of an arm or leg. The plan can only be taken out at fee payment times in September and February.
After graduation the plan will continue to the end of the 12-month period—or to Oct.1. At that time the student may continue the plan at another rate.
