Corbin Presents 13th Christmas Pageant
Back in 1935, Mrs. Charles Brooks, director of Corbin hall, planned a Christmas party for administrative and faculty members of the University. Since then the "Christmas revels" has taken on the pageantry of an Old English Christmas. This year's annual party was held Thursday night.
Everything is done in costume, with appropriate speeches in rhyme and
ranges to go with each ceremony. $ \textcircled{1} $
Everything is done in costume, wi songs to go with each ceremony. The hall is decorated in holly and winter greenery with a giant Christmas tree in one corner. The rooms which are lit by candle, are made to represent the long aisle of the medieval court.
A herald in costume announces the guests' arrival with appropriate fanfare. He is introduced under a title befitting his position on the campus. Thus Chancellor and Malott are introduced as "Jupiter and Juno of Mount Oread," and Miss Martha Peterson as "Lady Dorothy Dix of Mount Oread Hill." Professor and Mrs. Stratton become
"Lord and Lady Bunsen Burner of Blazing Bailey," and Professor and Mrs. Sheldon Carey are "Lord and Lady Clayface of Mount Volcanic Ash."
The Lord and Lady of the Manor are portrayed by the president and vice-president of Corbin. They are costumed in long red stockings and the tunics and headdresses of medieval England.
The choristers in costume sing Christmas songs and carols, and the court jester adds to the general spirit of festivity.
Groups of singers and players present special music on the serious and gay side of Christmas. Then the choristers come skipping down through the court proclaiming the boar's head and the flaming pudding. The pages carry in the wassail, which is spiced drink served with cookies to the guests. The Lord of the Manor toasts the guests and Christmas season in rhyme.
The ceremonies close with the lighting of the Yule log from a brand from last year's log. A representative of the hall presents a toast to the faculty and a wish for the Hall in rhyme; one of the guests answers it. This year Chance or Malott gave the toast to Corbin.
Invitations are sent to the governor, members of the Board of Regents, and certain members of the faculty.

Air Force ROTC To Be Separate
The joint army-air force operation of the R.O.T.C. program in colleges and universities throughout the nation will be divided into two separate operations at the end of the current year, Lt. Col. John Alfrey, commanding officer of the University of Kansas unit, said today.
Effective July 1, 1949, the air force will administer, supply, and staff its entire reserve officer training program. Some variations from the current training program are expected.
Since the air force became a three defense force it has continued joint R.O.T.C. training with the army. The air force training differed only for the two advanced years. A common administrative staff served both units.
However, a directive from the 10th air force says "the air force will continue to encourage any possible combined operation and close cooperation with other R.O.T.C. units at the same institution. An example of this is the operation and maintenance of a common supply."
