German Department To Give Nativity Play Wednesday
An old German nativity play will be presented by the department of Germanic and Slavic languages at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Fraser Theater. German, Russian and Swedish carols will be sung in their original languages.
The play is a traditional nativity play which originated in Tyrol, southern Germany close to Italy and Austria, during the Medieval period. It is divided into three parts: the appearance of angels who announce the betrothal of Mary to Joseph, the scenes of ill-minded inn-keepers, and the arrival of shepherds and the magi.
The cast includes Joyce C. Eliott, Independence, Mo., freshman; as Mary; Charles Edward Platz, Hutchinson freshman, as Josephi Jesse M. McNellis, Deerfield junior; Gary L. Porter, Columbus junior; Herbert M. Hilgers, Plainville sophomore, inn keeps. James D. Uhlig, Kansas City junior; Michael Roth, Lawrence junior and Richard A. Goldsby, Kansas City, Mo., junior, shepherds, and Ruwal H Freese, Topeka sophomore, the devil.
"The play is the mixture of holy scenes and secular elements; angels and shepherd scenes are about the heaven, and the devil and inn-keepers reflect the society," Gerhard Fisch, assistant instructor of German, said. He will direct the play.
The play is open to the public.

Students will be selected on the basis of interest in science, recommendations by their science teachers and grades in science courses. The number of students in the camp will be limited to 80 to prevent overloading of laboratory facilities.
Dr. Russell Mills, chairman of the biochemistry department and camp director, said scholarships of varying amounts will be available to help defray the camp fee of $80.
The program will be organized to give students a better idea of the type of work involved in each of the basic sciences and to introduce them to scientific ideas and methods, Dr. Mills said.
The Arab-Israeli dispute will be discussed at 7:30 p.m. today at the YMCA-YWCA international commission meeting in the Pine Room of the Student Union.

Many students wandering through Fraser Hall have been mystified recently by the high scaffolds, heavy tarpaulin floor coverings, and fresh plaster.
Facelifting Begun On Campus
C. G. Bavles, superintendent of building and grounds, said the face-lifting operations are taking place in practically all the buildings on campus.
Mr. Bayles explained that every year about this time the job orders are slowed down. This gives construction men an opportunity to give the University a thorough going over to make repairs.
Oscar Ingle, construction foreman for the building and grounds, is in charge of the plaster work. Work in Fraser Hall is expected to be completed in the next two weeks.
Sanitation Meeting To Be Held Jan.4
The sixth annual conference on sanitary engineering will be held Jan. 4.
About 90 persons are expected to attend the conference, which is sponsored by the School of Engineering and Architecture, and its department of civil engineering; University Extension; the Kansas State Board of Health's Division of Sanitation, and Kansas practicing engineers.
The meeting is so timed that those who wish may also attend the joint meeting of Consulting and Municipal Contractors on Jan. 5 in Kansas City, Mo.
In the Gulf of Aden schools of porpoises reach vast proportions, says the National Geographical Society. Some school numbers thousands of these mammals that can leap 20 feet out of the water.
ON THE FAMILY TRAVEL PLAN
For children, travel is sugar-coated education. They not only enjoy it but profit from it. They see new places, meet new people giving knowledge and poise that go beyond "book learning."
Union Pacific makes family travel easy on the pocketbook. Only one parent pays full rail fare. Others pay one-half to one-quarter fare depending on age.
So plan to take the youngsters with you. Find out from your nearest Union Pacific representative how little it costs.
