OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY—They say it's really spring when the girls and dandelions blossom forth in color. Maybe Toni Ernst, Aurora, Ill., sophomore, is enjoying the warm spring breezes at Potter Lake and hopes that class time never comes.
Majority In Racial Survey Approves Desegregation
Nine out of ten persons replying to a survey on the refusal of some restaurant owners to serve mixed racial groups said they would continue to patronize the establishment if the owners would change their present policy.
The survey, sponsored by the Al Student Council and Sachem, honorary senior men's society, was conducted in 43 organized houses.
The following question was asked of each person;
"It has been a long-established policy of several Lawrence restaurants to refuse service to members of a particular racial group. "Would abandonation of this policy by any particular restaurant cause it to lose your patronage?"
They received 1,964 replies with only 251 answering that they would not continue to patronize the restaurants.
"The survey had two primary reasons," said Richard Goldsby, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and member of the sponsoring group. "The first was to get a factual report which could be presented to restaurant owners. Secondly, it was designed to bring the problem to the attention of the students. We feel the poll certainly accomplished this."
Goldsbay said the two organizations have no plans to take the results of the poll directly to restaurant owners.
"However, we feel that this information will be available for citation to these restaurant owners by various interested groups," he continued.

Mr. Horn served his internship at El Dorado and was assistant city manager there for three years after receiving his degree. He left there to become city manager for Concordia until chosen for the Lawrence position.

Arco, Idaho, was the first community in the world to receive all of its light and power from atomic energy (1955).
A teacher in one of the local grade schools discovered that one of her second graders was more precocious in some ways than she had thought.
He Learned, But It Wasn't Arithmetic
The young man in question was the quietest and smallest boy in the class. He looked more like a kindergartener than a second grader, and he often had trouble with his work. One day last week, the teacher was explaining to him what he had done wrong in an arithmetic problem.
As she walked off, she overheard him say to himself, "My God, I really foofed on that one."
The Jayhawk Sports Car Club, Inc. will sponsor a Blind Gymkhana at the Kansas State Fair grounds in Topeka June 2. About 300 sports car enthusiasts from this area will be invited.
A gymkhana is a twisting, winding course to test the skill, accuracy, and control with which a driver can handle his automobile. The drivers will not know the course and will have only a white line to guide them through it. The course is $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles long.
The Sports Car Club is devoted to safe driving and promoting better sportsmanship on the American road.
Sports Car Show In Topeka
Most of the cars will be European although a few specially built American models will participate.
Various forms of driving skills will be incorporated during the six leg run. A spectators' area will be provided at each stage of the event.
Points will be given according to the condition of the automobile, and the accuracy and time in which the driver can complete the event.
The club will hold a banquet at the end of the event. Trophies will then be awarded to the top three contestants.
Experience, driving skills and safe judgment of the car's actions will be displayed at the event. The event is one of the monthly programs of the Jayhawk Sports Car Club. Most of the past events have been held here. The Sports Car Club of America is helping the club with this event.

New Housing May Be Completed By Fall
With enrollment climbing each semester, every effort is being made to speed completion of two University housing projects by fall of 1958.
The 416-man Joseph R. Pearson dormitory is in the final blueprint stage and designers are hurrying to finish their work for federal approval.
A 124-apartment Stauffer Place, similar to the one already built on the southwest slope of the campus, is also in the final blueprint stare.
The first Stauffer place is nearly finished and will house married students beginning next fall. One hunderd and five couples have signed up already. All names on the waiting list should be processed by the time the semester is over, said J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
"There is some question whether the building will be ready by the fall of 1958," Mr. Wilson said. "We hope to be ready to submit it to contractors by May 20. We had planned for the contractors to get their bids in by June 20."
The second Stauffer Place will be just north of the first Stauffer structure. The $710,000 Pearson Hall is to be located north of Carruth-O'Leary Hall on West Campus Road.
The building will be similar in design and interior decoration to Carruth-O'Leary Hall, but will be constructed of buff-colored bricks.
