- Committee of Cabinet and Senate To Meet With Regents To Select University Head
Three members of the faculty committee are from the Chancellor's cabinet, which consists of deans and heads of divisions. Remaining members are from the faculty at large, and were chosen by the Senate advisory committee, selected at a Senate meeting Friday. The advisory committee completed its work Saturday, reporting to the Chancellor and cabinet yesterday morning.
Membership on a University faculty committee to meet with a committee of the Kansas Board of Regents, searching for a Chancellor to succeed Dr. E. H. Lindley, was announced yesterday afternoon following a meeting of the Chancellor's cabinet.
Dr. H. L. Snyder of Winfield has been appointed chairman of the Regents' committee, and additional regents are to be named shortly according to Ralph T. O'Neil, chairman.
Other members of the committee are L. E. Anderson, professor of organ; Carrol M. Clark, professor of sociology; Robert McNair Davis, professor of law; Domenico Gagliardi, professor of economics; E. R. Elbel, assistant professor of physical education; W. S. Johnson, professor of English; F. E. Kester, professor of physics; H. A. Turing, professor of design of engineering; and A. H. Turney, associate professor of education.
The faculty motion authorizing the advisory committees to make selections, specified that the advisory chairman, Professor Kester, and two others of the advisory committee be included. Professors Anderson and Russell are those advisory committee members.
The committee of 12 chose Dean Stouffer as chairman and made plans for asking all members of the faculty to submit any information which might be of interest to the regents' committee.
War Referendum Signers Sought
Professor Gagliardo was named secretary on the faculty group.
What is described as a "whirl-wind campaign" to get 1000 signers on a petition to Congress to pass the Capper-Ludlow War Referendum this morning by the Current Action Commission of the Y.M.C.A.
Signatures of University students will be added to those obtained in other colleges and will be presented to congress in January.
This amendment to the constitution giving the people of the country the right to vote on whether they will fight in any war outside the United States, said congress again in January, according to Gerald Banker, chairman.
"We believe that if students can be aroused to sign petition for such issues as a new football coach, they will be interested in expressing themselves on the issue of war—war that will probably threaten their lives in the near future," said Banker.
"While we do not believe a referendum on war would be any panacea for peace, we believe that this bill would place the responsibility of killing enemy troops back on those who have to do the fighting and in war."
Hygiene Class To Hear John Jacobs This Morning
John Jacobs, assistant principal of the Lawrence Memorial High School, will speak to the University hygiene class at 11:30 a.m., this morning, on the topic "What a School Administrator Expects of the Physical Education Teacher." The class is held in room 15 Fraser hall. All students interested are invited to attend.

Allen Picks Oklahoma Cagers To Win Big Six
Hope for the future, rather than optimism, was expressed yesterday by Dr. F. C. Allen, coach of the Jayhawk cagers, in remarks on the Big Six outlook in general and the Kansas team in particular.
"Already we have lost two out of our first three games played," said Dr. Allen. "This is as many games as we have lost the whole season last year—two out of twenty. We will lose several more games this year. The Oklahoma Aggie games were very similar to our experience with Drake last year. We lost to Drake University of the same conference later in December by about the same difference in points. But we play these early season games for experience.
"Our final goal," Dr. Allen added, "is the Big Six conference championship play which starts Jan. 7. Personally, I would rather lose every pre-season game on the schedule than to lose a Big Six championship game. I do not look for a very bright season this year so far as our team is concerned." Big Six championship are concerned. However, it has been ten years since we have had a very bad season. Ten years go we lost 15 out of 18 games.
"Perhaps due to the fact that Kansas has won championships the last few years, many experts are picking Kansas again this year. No team
Negro Upheld by Supreme Tribunal
Columbia, Mo., Dec. 12—(UP) —Students and officials of the University seemed convinced today that Lloyd Gains, St. Louis negro, would "not be very happy" if he enrolled in the University Law School.
His right to enroll was upheld today by the Supreme Court of the United States. Dean of Men, Albert K. Heckel, also said he believed Gains would not be happy, but added that he thought the faculty would show no resentment towards him.
Spokesman for Phil Delta Phi and Delta Theta Phi, legal professional fraternities at the University, believed Gains would not be satisfied or contented if he enrolled. In its verdict the Court upheld Gains contensions that since there is no opportunity for negroes to study law, they cannot be authorized by authorities in barring him because of color violated the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment to the federal Constitution.
"Manners Make Men," a book on etiquette written by the members of "The Witan," an elected organization of Campus men, will be printed and distributed to all regiment members shortly before Christmas.
The state provides separate education for negroes at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. Education for the races has been separate since Missouri became a state. In Jefferson City it was city叮 that the next legislature would fix the race. It is now the law courses at Lincoln University. The Supreme Court reversed a decision of the state high court.

'TIL CHRISTMAS VACATION
can lose an incomparable Praille and a versatile Schmidt, the quarterback, without feeling the loss. The veterans on the Kansas varsity are not going well. The sophomores are showing much promise. We have been unable, however, to find a man who can spark the team as Praille did last year and we miss Schmidt's steadiness tremendously.
"Henry Iba's队 at Stillwater is a good team this year, but any time a Kansas team makes but seven out of 20 free throws there is no need to look further for the reason of the defeat. From the field Saturday night Kansas shot 65 times and hit only six. We beat ourselves. But these defeats are good things if analyzed intelligently.
"Very few of the Kansas followers last year at the beginning of the season expected Kansas to win the Big Six. Neither did the players nor the Kansas coach. The players voted on a guess that they would finish this season. It is the Kansas's business to develop teams. We will do our best."
NUMBER 62.
"Personally," said Dr. Allen, "I see three major championships for Oklahoma—Tom Stidham in football Bruce Drake in basketball and Jag Haskell in baseball. Missouri is powerful and George Edwards' team will undoubtedly rank second if it doesn't nose out Oklahoma.

6,000 Hear Yule Vespers Sunday
the Pacific Coast conference.
Then, while Delph Dolph, Jr. and Whitfield Anderson lighted the tapers in the huge candelabra placed on each side of the stage, a string ensemble played the ever effective "Ave Maria" (Bach-Gounod), until every member of the audience be thoroughly familiar with the instrument.
Perpetuating one of the University's most beautiful traditions, the School of Fine Arts presented the Christmas Vespers in two performances before crowds numbering 10,000 in Hech auditorium Sunday.
By Jimmy Robertson, c'40
In playing the prelude, Mr. Anderson made comparatively few mistakes. His batting average at the console was around 300, and is considered a very good average—for batting.
Softly diffused blue light flooded the evergreen trees (courtesy of the Barteldees Seed company) which adorned either side of the stage. While the auditorium was dimly lighted, Laurel Everette a clinically intelligent organ prelude, "Hasten, Shepherds" (Busser).
sauillus, cello; Raymond Stuhl, cello;
Mervyn Anderson, harp; and Laurel Everette Anderson, organ. No comment.
Following the ensemble, the Vesper choir of 90 voices, wearing white surplices (through the courtesy of First Presbyterian church, the First Christian church, and the Trinity Episcopal church) and carrying lighted tapers, marched down the two side aisles.
For the processional, the choir sang a novel four-part arrangement of "Adestre Fidelis," or as it is sometimes called, "O Come All We Seek" from the novel arrangement was taken from "The Golden Book of Favorite Songs."
Robes From Churches
There followed then the opening tableau, "The Legend of Saint Lucia," based on an ancient Swedish story of how on Dec. 13 each year the Saint is said to appear with her six attendants to bring coffee and
Choir Sings Again
The choir then opened the program proper with a stirring rendition of Tschesnokov's "The Angel's Song" with its brilliant opening lines of "Sing and Rejoice." The choir was under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout and sang unaccompanied with remarkable accuracy as to pitch and interpretation.
cakes to the peasants. The tableau did not depict a Y.W.C.A. tea as some supposed.
Cornets Are Novelty
With the stage itself bathed in a rich red light, the curtains put to disclose a striking background of vivid blue with a forest of pine trees. Saint Lucia wore a crown of seven burning tapers, and was portrayed by Juanna Brown. The six attendants were Meredith Dyer, Veregle Fraser, Alice Harrington, Nancy Hanover, and Jeanne Sunderland. Lots Lessen and Joe Crow were the peasant woman and child.
As an interesting novelty of this year's program, a quartet of muted cornets played a group of well-known Christmas hymns. Since it is difficult to play high notes gracefully on a muted cornet, there is no comment. Those in the quartet were Louis M奥斯, Leo Horacek, Eugene Crabb, and Eugene Whetstone.
The Chorus again filled the stage to sing Noble Cain's "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." The sopranos did exceedingly well against a vocal background of bell-like effects from the rest of the choir. And soprano chimes were scarcely audible—not enough to touch the audience.
Rare Beauty in Pastorale
What was perhaps the most beautiful of the tableaux followed. Against a background of roman arches and pillars Elizabeth was depicted on the floor with Zacharias bowed in reverence before the brilliantly lighted figure of Mary, bidding her welcome. The characters were Jean Werner, Charles McDonald, and Nancy Kessler.
Ruth Orcutt at the piano then dominated a number of rare beauty, a Pastorale from Corell's "Christmas Concerto," played by Karl Kurstener and Olga Eltner, solo violin and harp. She added a string quartet composed of Edua Gixens, Paul Stoner, Carrol Nickels, and Rita Gusallaui.
Seated around a glowing fire in a dark blue light were the five amazed shepherd with arms out-stretched toward the dazzling white form of an angel. The grouping and lighting of this picture were of the finest.
The third offering by the choir was a lively eight-part number from the Moravian music entitled "Hark, Now, O Shepherd" which served as an effective introduction to the third tableau, "There were Shepherd Abiding in the Field." Shepherd Are Amazed
