Chiapusso To Perform As Soloist
Jan Chiapasso, professor of piano and concert pianist, will make his second appearance with the University Symphony orchestra at 8 tonight in Hoch auditorium. He will be the robiest on an all-Brehms program. Prof. Russell L. Wiley will conduct.
This concerto is considered very difficult for University students. The entire program is tremendous and would be a challenge to any orchestra. Professor Wiley said. A four and one-half hour rehearsal was held Sunday night in final preparation.
Tonight Professor Chiapusso will play Brahm's "Piano Concerto No. 2 in B Flat Major." As a student at the Cologne conservatory in Germany he studied this work with a pianist who had been one of Brahm's and Clara Schumann's outstanding proteges.
In Detroit, the conductor-pianist Cabrilloitch, who is noted for his mastery of Brahms' music, engaged Professor Chiahpuso as soloist for four performances of Brahms' "B Flat Flato Piano Concerto."
Professor Chiapusso played the Beethoven "G Major Piano Concerto No. 4" with the University Symphony orchestra, Karl Kuersteiner conducting, several years ago.
The program for the orchestra's annual winter concert will last one and one-half hours. Student activity tickets will admit. Tickets will also be sold at the auditorium.
Funeral services were conducted Friday for Dr. Frank C. Neff, professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical center, at the Trinity Methodist church in Kansas City, Mo.
The program is "Academic Festival Overture." "Symphony No. 1 in C Minor," and "Concerto No. 2 in B Flat Major."
Funeral Held For Dr. Neff
Ten students were initiated into Sigma Gamma Epsilon honorary geology fraternity, at a ceremony in Lindley hall Thursday.
Present to pay tribute to the memory of Dr. Drew were members of the medical profession; friends, relatives, and students. Dr. E. B. Frye, pastor of the church, in speaking of Dr. Neff, said he had "the confidence of those into whose homes he went. He was truly a man of God."
15 Shopping Days Til Christmas
Dr. Neff had retired from pediatrics at the medical center in 1945 after serving as head of that department for 21 years.
Private graveside services were held in Forest Hill cemetery.
mitides included Raymond K. Mann, Robert A. Simons, Wayne C. Granger, John E. Hickox, Sailendra K. Chakravorty, John R. Sacks, Bernard W. Kleiheg, William W. Hambleton, Edward I. Blincoe, and Joe S. Turner.

Car Thieves Thick In KC
Don't leave anything valuable in your car when you park it in Kansas City. Mo.
That's the advice of Charles Roth, engineering sophomore, who learned his lesson Friday night when his car was broken into and robbed of valuables estimated at $600. The car had been parked at Meyer boulevard and Swope parkway while Roth and his wife were attending a movie.
The calendar staff consists of Joan Joseph, College junior, editor; Duane Postlethwaite, first year law, business manager; Dale W. Fields, College sophomore, advertising manager; Richard B. Collins, sophomore, circulation manager; George Byers, sophomore, publicity manager; and Marjorie Stark, fine arts junior, cover designer.
Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity, will revise the University picture gallery of "Who's Who in Engineering," last revised in 1939.
Suits, dresses, and wedding presents, including a movie camera and a set of sterling silverware, were stolen. Roth said the loss was covered by insurance.

Engineering 'Who's Who'
Members also decided at their December meeting Thursday to start a tutoring service and a slide rule course. They may also hold a dinner dance soon.
A policeman told Roth that such thefts were widespread in Kansas City.
Campus Scenes In New KU Calendar
The K.U. Calendar is back after several years absence because of the war.
It contains 12 reproductions of campus scenes with appropriate titles. For February, there is a picture of the clock on Blake hall; for April a picture of Watkins hospital; for August, a view of the Lila lane through the arch of Spooner-Thayer; for December a picture of Dyche tower.
ISA Hits Rents, Wages
Members of the social welfare committee of the I.S.A. meet with administrative heads at 2 o'clock today in the dean of women's office to discuss the results of the committee's survey of the students' economic situation. Administrative officials present will be Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, Willis L. Tompkins, assistant dean of men, Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, and Irvin Youngberg, director of dormitories.
Ralph Moberly, head of the committee, said that its investigations had been in housing, food, and wages. The investigations have been conducted since the opening of school by members of the committee.
They reported that, since housing is no longer a scarce commodity, a return to normal prices should be made. The report recommended a partitioning of the city into rent districts. All houses charging overcelling rents would not receive the protection of the University housing code.
Food costs were reasonable and comparable to those charged in other cities, but certain restaurants charge high class prices without giving high class service, the report said. It recommended that the I.S.A. compile a list of select eating houses.
Wages in Lawrence were not adequate, the committee felt, to allow respectable living. It recommended that a minimum wage of 60c per hour be established.
Gas Causes Blaze Friday In Annex B
A faulty gas main was blamed for a small blaze Friday in the secretarial training department in Frank Strong Annex B.
The Lawrence fire department was called.
Gas collected around a furnace in the east end of the building and was ignited by the heating unit. The explosion set fire to some paper and trash.
Tickets On Sale To Public Today
Five hundred basketball season tickets went on sale to faculty members and the general public today. They will cost $5. Saturday evening was the deadline for the student price of $2.15.
There are a few group two tickets left, but the majority are group one. Group two includes games with Colorado, Oklahoma A. and M., Missouri, and Iowa State. Group one offers Oklahoma, Drake, Nebraska, and Kansas State.
Pre-Vacation Flu Shots Urged
As a precaution against the seasonal flu and cold epidemic following Christmas vacation, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, urges students to take advantage of the influenza vaccine available at Watkins hospital. The service is available until Dec. 19.
Only 3,023 vaccines have been given this year, compared to 8,647 shots given last year. During October, 2,803 students were given the vaccine, 195 during November, and 25 so far this month.
The vaccine is available for all students, faculty members, University employees, and student's families over six years of age.
"We can practically promise the vaccine will not lay the student up," Dr. Canuteson said.
Dr. Thomas Speaks At YMCA Meeting
If the demand for the vaccine increases, temporary stations may be set up on the campus for the convenience for the students.
Dr. Winburn T. Thomas, missionary, told members of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet Friday of the North American Student Conference on Christian Frontiers to be held at the University Dec. 27 to Jan. 1, 1948.
The United States and 25 foreign countries will be represented among the 2,000 students attending the conference. Dr. Thomas said.
Dr. Thomas, who is conference secretary, says that his only difficulties are locating housing for the delegates and finding classroom space for the discussion groups. Dr. Thomas said that there are only 75 classrooms available, excluding venience of the students.
Devotions Replace Religious Week
Devotions, with speakers and organ music, will take the place of a religious emphasis week this year. Twenty-minute devotional periods will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Friday in Danforth chapel.
The Student Religious council voted to have the devotional program until Christmas vacation begins. The council decided on several meetings of this type, rather than a single week of intensified religious work.
Charles A. Dillon, president of the Student Religious council, said, "In times such as these we need to have something to strengthen our beliefs. These devotional periods will help a student prepare himself for each day's work. The 11 churches on the Student Religious council are providing inspired speakers who know the problems that face the students."
The worship services will be open to all students.

"Blithe Spirit," the Noel Coward three act comedy-farce, will be another sellout judging from advance ticket sales, Donald Dixon, assistant professor of speech, said this morning.
May Hold Play Over
"There are only 100 tickets left for tonight's performance and they are going fast," he said. Tomorrow night's show and Wednesday's performance are virtually sold out too. The play will undoubtedly be a sellout by late this afternoon when we close the ticket office."

The play will open at 8:15 tonight in Fraser theater. It will wear Herk Harvey, education senior, as Charles Condomine; Sarah Heil, College senior, as Ruth, Condomine's second wife; Bee Brady, College sophomore, as Elvira, Condomine's first wife who has been dead for seven years; and Joan Woodward, College senior, as Madame Arcati, the person who is responsible for much of Condomine's trouble.
Other members of the cast include Tom Rea, College junior, as Dr. Bradman; Marilyn Magner, education junior, as Mrs. Bradman; and Vivian Rogers, College senior, as the maid who is successful in discovering a way to restore order to the Condomine household. Ready For Curtain Time
Ivan Sparling, director of the play, said this morning that all preparations are complete and everything is ready for curtain time. The cast staged a dress rehearsal Friday night before members of the state teachers speech conference and last-minute flaws were ironed out.
Student activity slips may be exchanged for tickets at the ticket office in Green hall until 4 p.m. today. Professor Dixon, who is in charge of ticket sales, said that there is no cost to students who have activity books even though the slip may have been stamped for tickets to the previous speech and drama production. Booth Set Up In Fraser
