Students And Faculty To Sing In Vespers
The 105th performance of the All-Musical Vespers to be held at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hoch auditorium will feature 371 University students and faculty members.
Included in the program are the University Men's and Women's Glee clubs, the A Cappella choir, the University Band and G. Criss Simpson, associate professor of organ and theory.
G. Criss Simpson, organist, who will play "Alegro risoluto" (Whitlock) appeared on the first All-Musical Vespers program 27 years ago.
Irene Peabody, professor of voice, will be soloist with the Women's Glee club in a presentation of "Serenade" (Schubert). Clayton Krehbiel, director of the Women's Glee club and a member of the A Cappella choir, will be soloist in the "Alma Redemptoris Mater" (Palestrina).
Miss Mildred Seaman, program director of radio station KFKU, said @riday that the hour long Fine Arts presentation will be recorded Sunday and will be rebroadcast a week later on Sunday. Nov. 26, from 4 to 5 p.m.
D. M. Swarthmore, founder of the Veepot, held Friday that the first vespers held on Nov. 25, 1923, were in the nature of an experiment to see if University and townpeople desired such a rogram.
"We thought that an afternoon of concert music might be acceptable to local people and would fill a place on the general music calendar. The vespers seem to be successful." he said.
Mr. Swarthout directed 104 Vesper services from the first held in 1923 to the last one held in March, 1950. Mr. Swarthout is now director of the A Cappella choir.
Thomas Gorton, dean of the school of Fine Arts, is program chairman of Sunday's presentation.
Work Started On Dorms
Workmen today began clearing the sites for three residence halls that sometime next year will provide $300 scholarships for 100 men and 50 women.
Workmen of the Eby Construction Co. Wichita, took the first steps toward construction of the Lyle Stephenson and J. R. Pearson halls for men and the Gertrude Sellards Pearson hall for women in Alumni place near the top of the east slope of Mount Oread.
J. J. Wilson, K.U. business manager, said the contracts had not been signed, but agreements had been reached with the contractors on several alternate proposals for the Pearson halls, made at the request of the donors, that will push the total costs beyond $422,000.
The late Lyle Stephenson was an insurance executive of Kansas City, Mo. The Pearlsons live in Los Angeles. The bequests and gifts are being supplemented by a $150,000 appropriation by the K.U. Endowment association to make construction possible now.
In a letter to the University Daily Kansan, Jack Baldwin, social chairman of the Kansas State College independent Students association extended an invitation to University students to attend the Kansas State Sadie Hawkins celebration today.
K-State Invites KU Sadie Hawkins Fete
Judging of a beard-growing contest will start the celebration at 8 p.m. and will be followed immediately by a Sadie Hawkins race. There will be a dance at 9 p.m. Tickets are 50 cents for non-members and 30 cents for members.

Prize winners in the brief I.S.A Treasure hunt will be announced tonight at the Treasure hunt dance from 9 p.m. to midnight in the Union ballroom.
Admission to the all-student dance will be free to I.S.A. members and 50 cents to non-members. The winners do not have to be present to be eligible for the prizes.

At the Flicks By Bill Stratton
"Gun Crazy"
Jayhawker Theater
Crime definitely does not pay. Last night at the daywalker theater not more than 100 people were enticed into seeing "Gun Crazy," a none too worth while bit about a pair of criminals.
Laurie Starr (Peggy Cummins), a fast girl with a gun, entrasses Batt Tare (John Dall), who has made unconvincing efforts to overcome his fascination with firearms, into a life of violence and gunplay.
'Miss Cummins' acting is of the deadpan or neolithic school, while Mr. Dall expresses emotion with a turned back and a slightly weaving head which suggests a charmed sobra. All in all, it is pretty exhausting.
"I'll Get By" Patee Theater
In a fair musical, named "I'll Get By," June Haver and Gloria DeHaven display a type of beauty that certainly would have been attacked by a male audience at a personal appearance. Sentimental and well-worn songs, and the trumpet of Harry James, provide agreeable listening. Dennis Day plays Dennis Day, which is all right with me, while William Lundigan carries the plot.
The action begins in 1939. The plot if that's the word, deals with a couple of song publishers whose lives are devoted to plugging their songs, mostly at the expense of the two singers they want to marry. The publishers' eagerness to sell songs occasions jealousy which soon complicates the double love affair.
It all ends happily, and improbably enough, when Miss Haver and Miss DeHaven turn up as U.S.O. entertainers at a marine camp in the Pacific where the war has carried our two publishers. The reconciliation is due, in large part, to some preliminary spade work by Thelma Ritter, the sharp-tongued ex-secretary of the publishers.
Miss Ritter is familiar to most fans as the witty supporting actress of "A Letter To Three Wives" and "All About Eve."
Articles to be sold at the bazaar are being made by members of organized houses. They include knitted goods, candy, Christmas cards, shell jewelry, stuffed animals, "Coke" aprons, and luncheon sets.
YW Bazaar To Be Dec.1,2
There will also be maple syrui and Hawaiian hand-made articles Lawrence grade-school children are contributing items they made in school.
Carol Donovan, co-chairman of the bazaar, said the prices will probably range from 25 cents to $5.
A Y.W.C.A. bazaar will be held Dec 1, and 2 at Henley house.
German Movie In Hoch Tonight
"Seven Journeys", a German movie with English sub-titles is fourth in the foreign movie series. It will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in Hoch Auditorium. The film tells the story of people persecuted by the Nazis in the years between 1933 and the end of the war.
Athletic Dept To Survey Plan Of Reserved Seats
The University athletic department plans to make a survey of reserve-seating plans for football games. It will select the best one and refer it to the Campus Affairs Committee which requested the survey. The committee will then decide whether to recommend that the plan be submitted to student vote.
Before the committee decided Wednesday to request the survey, various reserve-seating systems were discussed. Included were plans for allotment of sections to the classes, to organized houses with a separate section for students in private homes, and to holders of different colored tickets.
The seating problem was solved at the Oklahoma game. But Arthur C. Lonborg, director of athletics, said the difficulty at the Nebraska game arose because non-students were in the student section. They came from the opposite side of the stadium and from the bleachers.
Several committee members reported that most of the students they had talked with were against a reserve-seating plan. Their main objection seemed to be that dates and friends wouldn't be able to sit together. The student guest problem was also mentioned.
Mr. Lonborg said that at the Oklahoma game there were enough seats in the student section and ushers were stationed to keep outsiders away. He added that if a reserve-seating plan is not adopted, the athletic department will maintain the usher system.
The topic at the next committee meeting will be the feasibility of having some method by which students could offer constructive criticism of courses and teachers. The meeting will be Thursday, Dec. 7.
Sour Owl Out Monday
The Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, will be on sale on the campus Monday, Nov. 20. Francis Kelly, editor of the magazine, said this year's magazine will be larger and better than previous publications. It will sell for the regular price of 25 cents.
The Sour Owl will be sold in booths set up on the campus and in organized houses. It will be on sale only two days, Monday, Nov. 20 and Tuesday, Nov. 21.
This issue will contain 32 pages of cartoons, jokes, illustrations and feature articles. Adorning the front cover will be a portrait of Miss Rosemary Owen, fine arts freshman.
Most of the cartoons for the magazine were drawn by Paul Coker and Dick Bibler. All articles will be illustrated.
James M. Burgoyne, director of Student Union Activities, was guest at a coffee given by student members of the Student Union association in the Union Tuesday.
New SUA Director Guest At Coffee
About 50 students and faculty members attended. Beverly Jennings College junior, and Jean Trantum education junior, poured.
Mr. Burgoyne is the first faculty director the S.U.A. has had. He came to the University from Michigan State college, where he was on the staff of the student union.

Dr. Pisky-Schmidt is now wanted for Hungarian underground activity and is faced with a 10-year prison sentence if he returns to his native land. His wife, who was unable to escape with him, is already in a Russian prison.
Thirty-five years old and a native of Budapest, Dr. Pisky-Schmidt holds degrees in law and philosophy. However, much of his career has been spent as a journalist.

"The county club plan this year is more of a success than I had hoped. The students that did organize county clubs plan to send several copies of the Jayhawkers magazine to schools in their county to bolster interest in the University at home. Several clubs have already planned parties that they will give here and in their home counties, as well as skits portraying K.U. life to be given in their county's high schools." Porter said.
