Girls Have First 'Brush With Law'
From their post on the Green Hall steps the lawyers served as an unofficial welcoming committee for high school girls taking part in the district music festival.
Most of the young musicians, in full-skirted frilly spring dresses, appeared shattered at their first "brush with the law," but others were obviously thrilled by the experience.
One of the girls was heard to remark, "I'm glad we didn't wear those sedate black uniforms."

Weather
AGI wanted the primary revoked because the phrase "Vote only for the candidates in your own district" was printed on the ballots.
The practice in primaries has been to allow party members to vote for the entire ticket, although the Elections Committee said the ASC constitution indicates the "district only" rule is to apply to primaries and the general election.
Joel Sterrett, Topeka senior and AGI president, said the party would not contest the primary further, and would run the list of candidates as "certified in the AGI primary."
Reiected for 3 Reasons
AGI had the option of naming any candidates it wished, regardless of the results of the primary.
1. No protest of the election was made until after the committee had certificated the voting.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. junior and Elections Committee chairman, said the committee had rejected AGI's request on three grounds;
3. AGI presented no evidence to show that any elections results would have been changed by the phrase objected to.
2. Even though there was the irregularity in voting instructions, no one was disenfranchised from voting for all party candidates.
The Council also heard Linda Bodle, Plattsburg, Mo. junior and chairman of the Group for Improvement of Human Relations, who told the Council of the work GIHR has done this year.
Misa Bodle said most of the group's work had been without publicity until recently, while working with the University administration and the Lawrence City Council toward desegregating Lawrence restaurants.
Miss Bodle said the group has concentrated this year on discrimination against Negroes and students of Haskell Institute.
The typical response from restaurant owners, she said, was "Personally, I'd be glad to serve them, but we'd lose business..."
About 10 of Lawrence's 50 restaurants are open to all races, Miss Bodle said. She added that apparently none have lost business through the change in policy.
She told the ASC that student government will not have any influence on the problem unless it takes action, such as an ASC statement of its policy on segregation.
Student Directory Loses Money
Student Directory Loses Money The Council heard a report on the finances of the Student Directory, which was printed and sold at a deficit of $38.59, less than the usual loss on the directory. The Council voted to make up the deficit from its contingency fund.
In other action, the Council heard the second reading of an amendment classifying the Student Bar Association, so it can apply to the Council for funds.
A report on Squat, campus humor magazine, was presented by its executive staff, and a first reading was held of an amendment which would remove Squat as KU's official humor magazine. A complaint was raised at the Feb. 25 meeting against the quality of the magazine.
