Carols Replace Lawyer's Whistles
HAROLD G. BARR
The long, low whistle usually heard from the steps of Green hall has given way to the yuletide spirit.
From 100 to 150 law students gather on the steps of their school at 9:50 and 10:50 a.m. and 12:40 and 1:50 p.m. to sing Christmas carols. They began Tuesday and plan to continue until vacation begins.
Their leader, Earle Brehmer, third-year law student, said they began the caroling the past year. The group was then accompanied by a trumpet and an accordion. This year, he said; the lawyers are without either and would especially welcome as an "honorary member" any student who could accompany them with a trumpet. They are using carol books given them by the Lawrence Sanitary dairy.

Hoopes Gives Christmas Talk
"Im allergic to strawberries, mice and slight effort," declared Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor emerita of English Tuesday evening. She spoke to members of the Bacteriology club at their annual Christmas party on the subject "The Christmas Spirit."
After delivering a whimsical account of her early childhood she gave a brief history of the New Testament.
"People today who are dealing with the Hebrews should read the Old and New Testament with great care in order to understand their thought patterns and values," she said. "The Hebrews current way of thinking is clearly displayed in these great writings."
The speaker exhibited a personal collection of Bibles, many of which were in foreign print.
"I spent three years reading the Bible, twice from cover to cover and I took notes during the whole process. It must be studied with great thought."
Miss Hoopes read various Bible passages which were connected with the Christmas story, then paused and gave stimulating "free translations and interpretations" applying them to the world today. She also read passages in Greek to demonstrate the "beauty in the sound" of the language.
The speaker finished by reading brief phrases from "First Christmas Ewe" by Alfred Domett and "The Kings Bread" by A. A. Milne, verbally portraying her characters.
