Thieves Return Flag-Goal Achieved
The identity of the cat burglar who stole the KU flag from Fraser tower Monday remains a mystery. But the flag has been relinquished by the thief.
The flag in a cardboard box was slipped into an open window at The Daily Kansan newsroom last night. The note which was pinned to the box read:
"To whom it may concern:
"We are satisfied at last. The flag now flying on Fraser is equal to the superior quality of the University of Kansas. Please do not fly this ratty thing again.—The Frustrated Alpinists*
The flag was found missing about 10 p.m. Monday when two campus policemen entered Fraser to take the flag down.
How the thief reached the tower is still a mystery. The locks on all the doors leading to the roof were intact.
The police concluded the tower must have been reached from the outside of the building.
ASC to Help Sunnyside Cast-offs
A resolution designed to help Sunnyside residents due for dispossession June 30 was discussed at last night's meeting of the All Student Council Housing Committee.
The resolution, if passed, would ask the housing office to give preference to Stouffer Place applications from dispossessed Sunnyside residents.
The resolution would also ask:

Have Your Ivy Leagues Cleaned & Pressed For the Big Weekend
William Paden, professor of English, described the complexities of painter-poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti's life in the year's second Humanities lecture last night.
Rossetti Inspired By Love, Tragedy
Reweaving, Repairing, Alterations Suede Jackets Cleaned and Refinished
The lecture dealt with "La Pia," a painting of a young woman meditating on her wedding ring. $ \textcircled{1} $
The painting was purchased by the Museum of Art two years ago and Prof. Paden has made a study of it and Rossetti's life.
This type of art became the subject of careful study by Rossetti and a group of friends known as the "Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood."
Rossetti fell in love with one of his models, Eleanor Elizabeth Siddal, and they became engaged.

He had gained new friends, and among them was William Morris, who also was a painter.
Rossetti began his painting under the direction of William H. Hunt, who believed art should include people and things as they actually were in minute and scrupulous detail.
926 Mass.
"Morris became not only a pupil of Rossetti, but a servant," Prof. Paden said.
At this time, Rossetti obtained a new model, Jane Burden. Prof. Paden said she fulfilled the image through which Rossetti saw all women.
Wife Commits Suicide
Rossetti fell in love with Jane, but decided to marry Elizabeth. Morris married Jane shortly afterward.
Elizabeth killed herself and left
Rossetti in a state of deep and lasting shock.
"One must conclude that Elizabeth had discovered his faltering love," Prof. Paden said.
He described how Rossetti now used Jane as his model and began sittings for the "La Pia" in 1868.
Prof. Paden introduced the theory that Rossetti began to lose his health because of "arterial hypertensions." He said Rossetti underwent moments of passion. When he suppressed this passion his blood pressure caused him to suffer the hypertension.
At this time Rossetti turned to literature because his failing sight made it impossible for him to paint. Rival Ingredient, Affair
Prof. Paden said Morris knew of the love between his wife and Rossetti, but it was impossible to divorce her at that time.
Rossetti and Jane spent much of their time together until Rossetti lost his sanity and tried to kill himself. He was nursed back to good health by friends and began painting again.
"Morris stepped not out of the picture, but back." Prof. Paden said.
In 1880 he resumed work on the "La Pia" with Jane at his side. Prof. Paden said she was his symbol of love, life and beauty.
