Concordia Club Joins UP Camp, Raps Vox Populi
Concordia Club, until now unaffiliated, has voted to join the University Party because "in UP, everyone has a voice."
The move brings to 16 the number of UP bloc memberships.
Concordia Club is a colony of Beta Sigma Psi, national Lutheran fraternity. But until the club receives its charter, it is listed as a co-op.
WILLIAM PANNING, Ellinwood sophomore and rush chairman of Concordia Club, said the group voted to join UP because "Vox is controlled by certain groups. In UP we can at least get our voice heard."
Roger Wilson, Wichita senior and president of Vox, said, "I don't know what he bases that on. An individual in Vox has just as much voice as in UP."
"It's a statement that would be very hard to substantiate," Wilson added.
Panning said the election of Art Ogilvie, North Kansas City, Mo. senior, to the All Student Council also played a part in his club's decision. Ogilvie, UP, defeated the Vox candidate, Danny Johnson, Jamaica, N.Y., sophomore, for the ASC seat from the co-op and professional fraternity district.
PANNING ALSO SAID that his group was dissatisfied with the "political maneuverings" of Vox. He mentioned John Stuckey, Pittsburgh junior, and his decision on the classification of Theta Tau fraternity during the last election.
Stuckey ruled that Theta Tau would be classed as a social fraternity since the group had applied to the Inter Fraternity Council for recognition. Only social fraternities may belong to the IFC.
Wilson called Panning's charge "ridiculous." "It's hard to disassociate a man from the party which elected him, but people on the ASC do not act according to party whim," he said.
KU 'Keeps Christmas' With Lights, Decorations
A white star glows over Watkins Hospital.
Bright red candles burn in wreaths hanging on the front of Hoch Auditorium.
Santa Claus pauses in the act of climbing down the chimney of the Delta Chi house.
These and other decorations are part of the way KU "keeps Christmas."
FOUR BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS workmen worked about a week (from Dec. 3 to Dec. 7) putting the lights up on the campus buildings. The decorations have not changed for at least five years, according to Harry Buchholz, buildings and grounds superintendent.
The greenery around Strong Hall probably has more lights per branch than that surrounding any other campus building. Four large trees, two smaller ones, and a group of low-lying shrubs are covered with colored splotches of light.
The 24-foot high tree in the rotunda of Strong was another buildings and grounds assignment. Before the tree was placed on its revolving stand, it was soaked to prevent drying and fire-proofed.
In contrast to the gaily colored lights which cover most of the campus, the blue lights at Danforth Chapel beam out in gentle reverence.
BUCHHOLZ SAID he did not know how many bulbs are used in campus lighting, but said that 900 bulbs were replaced in one night this year. "They don't pick any one place," he said, referring to "bulb snatchers."
Organized living groups are also "saying it with lights" this year. Residents of Lewis Hall created a stained glass window effect with tempera paint. They cut out a silhouette of the Madonna on brown paper, painted it black, and placed it in the center of the display.
Templin Hall has an outdoor "tree"—no greenery, just lights—outlined on the side of the building.
THE ROOF OF THE Delta Chi house is traced in blue lights, with the Greek letters formed in red. At last report, Santa was still stuck in the chimney.
Acacia's decorations give a new twist to an old theme. Rudolph (with his red nose blazing) is still pulling Santa, but Santa is riding a sputnik!
Colored lights are strung across the roof and balconies of the house.

Plans Released For Greek Week
The Greek Week dance will not be held in the Kansas Union this year.
Just where it will be held is not certain, but David Huffman, Hays senior and co-chairman of Greek Week, told the Inter-Fraternity Council last night that he is looking into the possibility of renting the National Guard Armory for the dance.
He said dances in the Kansas Union are usually poorly attended.
THE TENTATIVE SCHEDULE for Greek Week is as follows, Huffman said:
Thursday, March 21 — Scholarship dinner in the Kansas Union. The scholarship awards and the Greek Week queen and her attendants will be announced.
Friday, March 22—Greek Week sing in Hoch Auditorium.
FOLLOWING THE tug of war will be a picnic dinner on the patio above the lake. The Greek Week dance will be held Saturday night.
Saturday, March 23—Chariot races, followed by a tug-of-war across Potter Lake, pitting Greeks from the west side of the campus against those from the east side.
Sunday, March 24—Religious observance.
The IFC also set Sept. 4-7 as the dates for Rush Week next fall.
