Vespers To Present Xmas Tableaux, Music
The annual Christmas Vespers of the School of Fine Arts will be presented Sunday afternoon and evening in Hoch auditorium. Because large crowds usually attend the services, the program will be given twice, the first performance starting at 4 p.m. and the evening performance at 7:30.
A cappella choir, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout, will sing four numbers. One of the highlights of the service will be a brass ensemble playing Robert Palmer's Fantasy on Christmas Carols." Palmer, a member of the Fine Arts
faculty, composed the number especially for the vespers.
Another feature of the program will be the tableaux presented by the departments of design and drawing and painting. Special scenery for the tableaux was painted by Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting. The four scenes will be; "the Posada," a Mexican religious ceremony, "The Annunciation;" "The Road to Bethlehem," and "Madonna of the Window."
During the services the Jay Janes will take a free-will offering for the Fine Arts scholarship fund.
A brass quartet will play Christmas carols from the balcony for 20 minutes preceding both performances.
The Christmas Choralogue, by W. B. Olds, will be read by Robert Calderwood of the department of speech and drama. The A Capella choir will furnish a humming background for the reading.

Holiday Extras Will Spice Hop Dedicated to K.U. Soldiers
A sudden spurt in sales is expected to follow the recent announcement of the festivity to be introduced at the Sophomore Hop in the Memorial Union ballroom from 9 to 1 a.m. tomorrow night.
Hot spiced cider and wafers, balloons, serpentines, noise makers, and mistletoe will combine with the danceable music
of Red Nichols for a pre-Chir mas celebration.
The sophomore class and the Varsity Dance committee have dedicated the Hop to those students who are leaving the University to join American armed forces.
They said, "It is our hope that all University students, from freshmen to seniors, will unite in 'holiday hilarity' at what will be a farewell party for many of us."
Tickets, costing $2 plus tax, are on sale at the business office in Frank Strong hall, at the hostess desk in the Memorial Union building, and downtown at Bell's music store.

She said, "anyone wishing to view these exhibitions should come to the museum at the first opportunity."

War Blackout Sends Hollywood Citizens Running
Hollywood, —(UP)— Thomas A. Edison was a great man; we veterans of Los Angeles' first wartime blackout can tell you about him.
For three hours last night Hollywood was as black as a horse-opera villain's part. And that's something for this place, which normally is about as brightly lighted as any we have seen.
At 7:45 p.m. the town from our hilltop window looked like a Christmas tree on its side, a carpet of red, white, green and blue twinkle, from the neon triangle on the RKO studio water tank to the electric whirligig on Labrea avenue's nightclub row.
The sirens screamed and the electric light company began to lose money. In 15 minutes the street lamps for miles were doused. And so were most of the big red signs. In 30 minutes the view almost had disappeared. There wasn't a light except for a one-mile ribbon of incandescence. That was Hollywood boulevard Santa Claus lane, illuminated by 500 Mazda covered Christmas trees. The boys finally found the switch—and we might as well have been looking into the ear of a mule at the bottom of a coal mine.
Then the army's searchlights on the surrounding hills began to sweep the skies with blue-white light, looking for those Japs. That was familiar.
