Music, Tableaux Impressive In Xmas Vespers
Impressive musical numbers and tableaux were presented at the 89th School of Fine Arts Christmas vespers Sunday in Hoch auditorium
"Ave Maria" (Bach-Gouned), played by an ensemble of strings, harp and organ, created an atmosphere of quiet during the candle-lighting.
Both the processional and the recessional by the University a cappella choir were well-timed. The processional "O Come All Ye Faithful" was sung with spirit. How ever, the organ accompaniment seemed too fast and loud.
Following the procession the choir, accompanied by the University symphony orchestra, sang, "Children's Evening Prayer" from "Hansel and Gretel" (Humperdinck). The vocal and instrumental blended perfectly and the number was one of quiet peace.
Especially effective was the bright light surrounding the angel in "The Annunciation" and the figures of Mary and Joseph silhouetted against a deep blue sky in "The Journey."
The four tableaux, "Hansel and Gretel Asleep in the Woods," "The Annunciation," "The Kings in Adoration" and "The Journey," were excellent. The lighting and stage sets gave the tableau good perspective and the costumes were colorful.
One of the most beautiful numbers was "The Swan" (Saint Saens), played by a cello choir, accompanied by harp and organ. The resonant sound of the cellos combined with the rippling notes of the harp to produce the effect of a gliding swan.
The choir's "O Rise Up in the Morning" (Kountz) was not as forceful as might be expected. However, their "Carillon Heigh-Ho" (Perry) was sung with brightness.
The University orchestra was excellent in the number "Procession to the Holy Grail" from "Parsifal" (Wagner).
One of the outstanding numbers was a baritone solo, "O Holy Night" (Adams), sung by Andrew Klapis, College senior.
The recessional by the choir,
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
(Mendelssohn) was a beautiful finale.
High School Pupils Receive Advice
University representatives interviewed more than 700 students at eight different high schools during the College Day meetings in Kansas City, Mo., from Dec. 13 through Dec. 16.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said 75 colleges and universities of the middle west and the East sent representatives to talk to high school students on college attendance. The colleges were invited by the Kansas City high schools to take part in the College Day meetings sponsored by the guidance bureau of the Kansas City high schools.
Students asked questions concerning entrance requirements, medical school, housing, cost of attending university, and general questions on courses being offered and university regulations, Mr. Hitt said.

KU Christmas Tradition Has Begun As Colored Lights Shine From Dyche
The lights, which were turned on a week ago, will continue to shine every night until the end of the Christmas vacation, according to Mr. Henry Firner, electric maintenance foreman of the building and grounds department. They are temporary flood lights with red, green and amber lenses for the Christmas season.
Shining through the eight openings in the top portion of the tower.
For the last several years students at the University have had the chance to see the evolution of a new campus tradition.
Just how long it takes a custom to become a tradition is open for argument, but for several years lights have been placed in the tower of Dyche hall, the museum of natural history. Again this year the lights are adding to the spirit of Christmas on the campus, and it is safe to assume the practice is well on its way towards becoming an established tradition.
the colors are visible every night and comprise a part of the campus decorations which include the lights on the trees in front of Frank Strong hall, the Christmas trees in the Union and Frank Strong hall, and the wreaths which decorate the interior of various campus buildings.
Drive Carefully, Chancellor Warns
Highway accidents have taken their tragic toll among our University students this year.
I ask all students who are driving to their homes for the holidays to take every precaution to drive safely and at moderate speeds, and to be constantly watchful of the unpredictable driving of other car operators who often endanger the highways.
Holidays Begin 6 p.m. Wednesday
DEANE W. MALOTT Chancellor
The Christmas recess authorized by the University Senate, will begin at 6 p.m., Wednesday.
Classes will resume at 8 a.m.

Need Buildings Now Malott Says
The eight buildings requested by the board of regents fill current need at the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malott said today.
He pointed out that the requests were made not to cover the expected growth in future years but to fill a present need for "adequate facilities."
"All buildings approved by the legislature will be started as soon as possible," the chancellor said.
The $5,055,000 building program requested for the University by the board of regents at their December meeting includes a field house, a fine arts building, a new science building, remodeling of Fowler shops for the new journalism building, two requests for additional funds for remodeling and new equipment at the University of Kansas Medical center, and an additional request for funds to complete the library addition.
Ray Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, said, there are many problems to be considered in the building program. Six locations for the field house are being considered, he said. These cites include both the varsity baseball field and the land south of the campus owned by the Endowment association.
Mr. Nichols said there had been no large scale building program at the University for many years. Temporary quarters being used now are not adequate.

Need Invitations For Students

Cafe Group May Seek Laws To Curb Union
"We think that private citizens as such should not be allowed the use of the Union food facilities." He added that parents visiting students should be allowed to eat at the Union.
Bv GERALD V. FETTEROLF
W. E. Murphy, president of the Douglas County Restaurant association, said today that if the board of regents does not restrict the Union eating facilities to students and faculty members, the association would seek legislation to curb the practices.
Mr. Murphy, who operates a restaurant, Brick's, at the edge of the campus, said that the restaurant association holds that the Union is engaged in private enterprise. He pointed out that the Kansas constitution does not allow state institutions to engage in competition with private firms.
"We hold that the University Extension isn't a school, but a promotional scheme for the University." Mr. Murphy said. He added that since there were no minimum requirements for entrance to the extension service conferences, and that since there were no classes as such the Extension conferences were not part of the service of a University and therefore the University was not obligated to feed and house them.
Mr. Murphy said that he had not protested to the Union Operating committee about the action of the Union. He said that he had written to the board of regents because University officials had informed him that the University was operating according to a directive by the board.
Ogden Jones, chairman of the operating committee. said today.
"The operating committee gives the directives to the Union director and would appreciate any group having fancied grievance being kind enough to put the matter in writing and send it to me." Mr. Jones added that when he received such grievance reports, the matter would be brought before the Union operating committee, "if it warranted attention."
Asked how the restaurant association felt about private, taxpayer citizens eating at the Union, Mr. Murphy replied.
Mr. Murphy revealed that on Dec. 15 he had made a request for a dinner at the Union for a private group and that a bid had been made to him by Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Union.
"I told her that I would like to arrange a dinner meeting for approximately 125 salesmen of the Continental Products company of Western Missouri," Mr. Murphy said. "She made a bid to me for the party, and I told her that I would need the bid in writing so that I could show it to my company. I sent another person over to the Union on the next day to pick up the bid signed by Miss Zipple." He said that the signed bid was in his hands, for proof that the Union was entering competition by making bids to private firms.
Mr. Murphy added that he did not believe that the Union was making unfair competition by underselling private restaurants. He said that the competition was by direct solicitation of business through the many letters that are sent out by both the Union and University Extension.
