The Jay Janes and KuKus collected $205 at the football game Saturday. Organized houses and solicitors turned in $162. The previous total was $960.
Heath asked that all solicitors to private homes and in organized houses turn money and cards in to the Campus Chest office in the activities lounge of the Union immediately.

Appreciative Audience Hears First Vespers
LAWRENCE. KANSAS
Rv COURT ERNST
A small, attentive and appreciative audience heard the first Vespers of the year in Hoch auditorium Sunday.
The A Cappella choir, after somewhat of a slow start with Alchinger's "Regina Coell" came to life and did a splendid job on Withl's "The Monastery" and Brahms "Thy Servant is Downcast," directed by D. M. Swarthout, choir director.
The Men's glee club, under the direction of Clayton F. Krebhbiel, pleased the crowd with its three numbers, "Blow, Trumpets, Blow," by James, "Lord, If I Got My Ticket, Can I Ride?" by Shaw, and "Wanderin" by Churchill.
The Women's glee club, also under Mr. Krehbiel's direction, sang "The Birth of Moses" by Norman Lockwood. This is a magnificent piece of choral music, and although the group was small in size, they did it full justice.
3 One-act Plays Open Tonight
Laurel E. Anderson, University organist, played Bach's "Toccatc and Fugue in D Minor," one of the most famous of all organ compositions. Mr. Anderson expressed the Toccatc section very well. It is written so that it allows a lot of rhythmic freedom to the performer. He played the Fugue section in near-impeccable fashion.
Boosters Import Snake
Sarasota, Fla. —(U.P.) The Junior Chamber of commerce here imported a nine-foot box constrictor from South America to help in its membership drive. The snake was presented to the president, James J. Drymon, to keep until he can find a new member to give it to.
The University choreale, under Mr. Krebbiel's direction, was without doubt the best group on the program as far as technical performance is concerned. The group sang three excerpts from "Songs on Old Texts" by Hindemuth: "The Devil a Monk Would Be," "Of Household Rule," and "Troopers Drinking Song." Although this is not the best music available by far, it served as a good vehicle for the chorale to show its great skill in singing difficult music.
Three one-act plays, termed by B. James Wright, director of the Studio Theater "plays that couldn't happen" will be presented for the first time at 8 p.m. today in the Little theater in Green hall. Performances will also be given Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Lecture by Joyce Cary Set for This Afternoon
"His Oxford house is packed with books, furniture, works of art, musical instruments—the accumulated treasure of a full life. His study under the eaves is lined with bookcases and filing boxes. Clamp boards holding notes and exhortations to himself are braced against the wall, and specially built slots in his old-fashioned desk hold sections of whatever book he is working on, folders with scans of dialogue and random ideas.
"Joyce Cary writes his books in bits and pieces, may drop one section to tackle another, and sometimes drops the whole thing to work on
"By the time he is ready to write, he has dossiers on each of his characters, the looks of the locale, studies of the historical background, even plans of the house.
Joyce Cary, English novelist, will lecture on "From a Novelist's Notebook" at 4 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
"As a talker he is impressive. His mind is crowded with stored-up memories, like the attic of an old house; there is no telling what will turn up.
His books are on display in the University library and on the second floor of Fraser hall.
The Oct. 20, 1952 issue of Time magazine said "Cary is a thin, lively exuberant, man with a richly seamed face, a sharp inquisitive nose, and a thin cloud of unruly grey hair. Tough and wiry, he likes to take long walks every day. During a lengthy conversation, he is apt as not to chin himself on a door.
"He has schemes for at least eight more novels, all of which his readers are confident will add new luster to the Cary tradition of richness and brilliance."
