' Thorc is a mystery extant lo-
jjlay which is one of the most
Mysterious ever to mystify civilization.
jj Briefly, now that your curiosity
tn aroused, It is the mystery of
fcow come rabhtts, which are mam
mals, have the ability to lay Raster
We can formulate two hypoth
i escs about the matter. The first
would be that it Is true that rab
1 bits lay eggs. This would be a
radical departure from orderly
science as concerns the varied
type of reproductive activities.
The rabbit invades the realm of
the rooster-hen combination
when he lays eggs. Obviously,
this is not, as the English would
put it, exactly cricket or sport
4 Ing on the part of the rabbit.
He Is welching, as it were, on a
hen's domain. Hence the term
t welch rabbit. It would upset the
; life work of some scientists if
, this hypothesis were true so let
J us take a look at the alternate
possibility.
j The second hypothesis is that
t-abbits do not lay Kaster eggs but
fere given credit for doing so. Per
forming under false colors, s it
vere. This second hyptohesis is the
true one. We found out by asking
a major in zoology.
However, we still have a prob
lem on our hands. That is, just
how did it ever happen that a
mammal like the rabbit was
credited with laying Kasler eggs.
Was it all just a big biological
mistake? Or was it a dastardly u
bit or publicity designed 10 steai
glory from the hard-working lien .'
One look at Easter advertisements
i nd the packages of egg dyes will
how the latter assumption to be
' '4 rue. How did it first happen Let
us reconstruct what was probably
the birth of the Easter-eggs-from-rabbits
idea.

It was a day late in March. The
president of a hatchery in an
eastern state was in his office,
alternately wringing his hands and
tearing his hair. His production
manager fidgeted in his chair be
eidc the presidenfs desk.
"I am afraid, sir," said the pro
i 'h duclion manager, 'that we are go
. ing to have to sell the five thou-
t sand eggs that have piled up on
lis next week, or throw them away
' to avoid smelling up the place."
. "But where, Jenkins, to whom?
People seem to be turning to meat
for their proteins. The only way
we can sell those eggs is to sell
them at one-fifth or one-sixth of
the cost of production. That 1 re
1 fuse to do. Jenkins, you must fig
A lire out some way to get those
people to want eggs. Now think!'
. Jenkins looked out of the win
1 dow and thought.
5 "If I don't sell those eggs," said
I the president, "I can't afford to
) buy my wife a new Easter hat.
! Prices on hats always mm to go
up in the spring for some reason
or other. 1 guess maybe it's on
account of everybody willing to
bnv one to wear for the Easter
' parade."
Jenkins felt an idea struggling
for liberation within himself
"I don't know why people dress
up anyway," said the president.
:l "But they seem to want gay colors
; and cute things."
"I've got it! Eureka!" shouted
Jenkins. "Why not dye all of these
eggs we have on hand in fancy
colors and publicize them as being
i a necessary part of Easter. You

Boh Edelstein. sophomore from
New York Cily, was awarded the
$10 prize for writing the best
songs for the Kosmet Klub spring
show, "Hades' Ladies," at a meet
ing of the Klub held last night,
Edelstein has written four of
the show's seven songs, and the
Klub found it difficult to name
any particular one as the best,
stated AVinfield Elias, president. It
is therefore awarding him the
prize on the basis of the general
excellence of all his entries.
Show songs composed by Edel
stein include "Ten Bad Men," "I'm
Satan (the King of Hell)," "Out
of the Corner of My Eye" and
"Ladies of Hades." He is affiliated
with Zeta Beta Tau fraternity on
the campus.
A modernized and enlarged pro
gram will be distributed to show-
goers attending Hades Ladies
during the week of its run, April
25-30, according to Frank John
son, who is in charge of its pub
lication. A new cover has been
designed similar in color and treat
ment to the one placed on copies
of "Sweet Nebraska Sweetheart,"
distributed at the fall show. There
will be at least 20 pages to the
program and Included will be a
complete synopsis describing the
two acts and eleven scenes that
make up the action, and a com
plete history of the Klub in addi
tion to the usual cast of charac
ters and list of musical numbers.

"A good idea, Jenkins. But
it
lacks Hppcal. Can't you work in
something more attractive than a
hen and an egg."
The Denouement. '
Jenkins pursed his lips and
thought.
"Why not," he asked after a
pause. "Let it out that rabbits
had something to do with it. My
little daughter thinks rabbits are
the cutest things n four legs
They are appealing little rascals."

join this spring to present the
second annual University Grid
iron dinner. Arrangements have
been made to hold the dinner in
the ballroom of the Student Union
building on Friday, May 13, as the
first big affair there following the
formal opening.
Because of the success of last
year's dinner and the acclaim
with which it was greeted, plans
have been under way for this
year's affair for several months,
according to Ed Murray, president
of Sigma Delta Chi. The faculty
committee on student attairs nas
given permission now to go ahead
with the dinner.
Murray has appointed the fol
lowing committees: Program:
Bruce Campbell, chairman, Ralph
Reecler. Edmund Sleeves, Fred

dinner, and Jane Waloott will act
as co-chairman with deBrown on
the ticket committee.
Bruce Campbell, chairman of the
program committee, stated that
the purpose of the show presented
at the dinner is not to ridicule
maliciously or salaciously the Uni
versity, but rather to poke a little
good-humored satire. It affords an
opportunity for constructive criti
cism given in humorous form.

buildings, and events, off-the-rec-ord
skits will again be offered in

Illuminating evidence about the
possibility of introducing tests for
venereal diseases into the Nebras

disclosed in a report submitted to
a psychology class by a committee
composed of Norman Bolker,
chairman: Fred Strandskov, Law
rence Barret and Herbert Hilde-
brand.
All teachers college students
will be vitally affected by im
pending legislation through which
the state will require a clean bill
of health from each applicant for
teaching position, according to
C. E. Taylor, state superintendent
of instruction. Dr. Roy A. Ly
man, student health service dircc
tor, has suggested that the school
give complete health exams to all
teachers college students annually
Students Take Treatment.
"Any student affected with a
disease, venereal or othenvise,
must become aware of his condi
tion and take treatment .thus be
ing eligible for teaching, instead of
culminating four years of study by
rejection by the state legislature."
Folicy of the university, accord
ing to the chancellor, in the mat
ter has not vet been determined,
but four significant conclusions
were reached by the student com
mittee:
1. That venereal disease exams
should be adopted by the Univer
sity of Nebraska as part of the
routine physical exam for all en
tering students. The tests should
be administered for both syphilis
and gonorrhea by a standard sero-
logis test such as Wasserman.
2. Thnt venereal disease exams
should be available to nil upper
classmen on indication or request,
as is done at present.
3. That all samples and smears
be sent to the state health labora
tories, as is done at present, where
diagnosis will be made without
cost to the university.
4. That when a case of venereal
disease is discovered, treatment
must be made available, to the stu
dent either by private physicians
or by the student health service;
if treatment is made by the latter,

Proposed Activity System
Meets Fate as Result
of Balloting.
The men of the campus will go
to the polls Tuesday to choose
their Ivy Day orator, nominate
their future Innocents, and decide
whether or not they wish to adopt
a men's activity point system.
Polls will be closed from 10 to 115
in the morning for Honors convo
cation. Ivy Day orator candidates must
be senior men in good standing
at the time of election. Names
must be filed in the Student Ac
tivities office by noon tomorrow.
Because of the shortage of time
before the election, it would be
advisable for candidates to make
sure of their eligibility lieforc they
file, Al Moseman, president of the
Student Council, pointed out.
Vote for 25 Innocents.
Twenty-five candidates for the
Innocents society, senior men's
honorary, will also lie chosen at
the Tuesday polling. Only the
names of Juniors can he written
on the ballots. From the 25 can
didates named by the balloting.
the present Innocents society will
choose its membership and tap the
new members on Ivy Day, May o.
The names of five nominees no
less must be written on the bal
lots to make them official.
Plan Not Final.
Fate of a proposed men's activ
ity point system will also be deter
mined at the booths. The question
on the ballots will ask only one
question: Do you favor a men's
activity point system? Voters
should not necessarily feel that the
actual set-up as it has been pro
posed will be final, a member of
the Council maintained. There is
little doubt, he said, that there will
be manv changes if the election
proves favorable.
After several alterations result
ing from the Student Council's
open forum Wednesday afternoon,
the proposal went to the judiciary
committee of the council where it
was unanimously approved. In a
