Rumor is being circulated to the effect that an assistant in the department of psychology was recently put into a trance by a freshman whom he was trying to assert as the names of the persons involved, but to no avail—possibly because the results of experimental responses (in reverse gear) are not commonly set or set down in the an-

Xmas Vespers Are Presented To Big Crowds
More than 6,500 persons attended the fourteenth annual Christmas Vesper services in the Auditorium Sunday. The services were given twice this year, the first time they were begun, to accommodate the visitors.
The Auditorium was filled to capacity for the afternoon performance and was nearly full for the evening show.
The entire program maintained the same high standard of beauty and smoothness that made the professional so moving, especially with her hands. The recreational, seemed to be vying with the hundred-odd voices of the choir in an effort to see who was the loudest. Had the organist not been aided by a mamouth instrument, he懒懒 would have lost the contest.
The Veper Choir sang four numbers in that precise, clear, tuneful manner that Dean D. M. Swarthout seems to be able to extract from the musical organizations he directs.
The songs used by the choir were:
"Today There is a Ringing" (Christianen);
"The Three Kings" (old Catholic nativity song); "The Holy and the ky" (Boughton); and "Praise the Lord" (Frank).
Wilkins Family Features
Especially enjoyable on the program was the singing of the Wilkins family. Prof Joseph Wilkins, director of the Men's Glee club, sang "O Fair Art Thou" (Gradi-Clokey) accompanied by the harp and organ. Mrs Marie Wilkins sang the solo part of the choir's song "The Three Kings"; and he also sang "The Violin by the Manger" (Francik), accompanied by the University string quartet.
Other musical numbers on the program were: "Ave Maria" (Bach Gouned), by the University ensemble; Walden Gael tench, violin Raymond Stubl, cello, D. M Swarthout, cello; Meryen Anderson harp, and Lance Crawford "The Sleep of the Child Jesus" (Busser), Walden Geltch, violin, accompanied by the harp and organ.
The departments of design and drawing and painting staged four beautiful tableaux during the Vespers program. Three of the tableaux depicted events connected with the birth of Christ, the fourth was a holiday celebration, and a small family gathered around a glowing fireplace, stockings hung from the mantle and the father reading the evening paper.

Surprise Move Unearths Dormant Pendergast Scandal
Kansas City, Dec. 14 — An indignant judge and a fast moving grant jury issued subpoenaes in a surprise investigation of alleged widespread election frauds of the powerful T. J. Pendergast Democrat machine.
The summons went out a few minutes after the grand jury heard Judge Albert L. Reeves demand the citing of charges in his case, and we find them in high authority*.
With fit upraised and face flushes, Reewes warned. "We cannot surrender the ballot box to such gangsters that will force machine firms in the streets."
Subpenas were issued immediately for every member of the election board, a bi-partisan group appointed by Gov. Guy P. Park, a member of the Pendergast faction. Other subpenas called for the ballot boxes, poll books, tallies and documents of Klamath City incarnes in which the
machine rolled up landslide majorities.
A. dozen boxes of evidence, gathered by civil organizations and federal agents, were turned over to the grand jury by Maurice M. Milligan, federal district attorney, whose scalp was shot at machinery had promised to take.
"The court cannot sit quietly in this district and witness the open flouting of the election law." Reeves told the grand jury. "A very abort time ago kidnappers were common, now many have been apprehended and many are in their graves. The government stopped that crime and the government will move upon corrupt voting."
Eohong the judge's determination to study the long-lived hard charges against Pendergast was W. T. Grant, insurance man and foreman of the grand jury. Grant served as a financier of the Landon-President club.
dictary body, seeking to ascertain the facts concerning the entire situation." He continued by saying, "The board is not looking for a goat, it is seeking a solution. The board members approached the problem from an analytical and progressive point of view."
The recent student-circulated questionnaire sponsored by the Daily Kansan was given equal consideration with other information and problems having a bearing on the subject.
The fate of the spring program for wrestling and baseball rests on the outcome of the refinancing of the athletic department.
Financial Suggestions
Dr. Alen last night after the meeting had adjourned, said "The discussion showed that there is very much attention at the situation here at the University."
In a letter circulated among board members by Dr. F. C. Allen as preliminary explanation, the athletic director discussed the financial situation and offered five suggestions as remedies to the present financial aid
2. That the intramural field south of the Hill be sold.
1. The student activity ticket fund be reapportioned.
3. The borrowing of $25,000, or part of it, to carry over activities of the athletic department until football receipt starts coming in for next year. The disastrous 1936 season left the department's funds depleted, and cased is needed to carry on the spring sports, pay the stadium interest of the team, send players to pay salaries and operating expenses during the summer.
4. Reorganization of the athletic department abolishing the director of athletics and setting up a financial director in its stead.
5. Sale of property and houses on McCook street now owned by the University.
Another suggestion involved the renting of the stadium to the University for non-athletic events such as commencement and induction ceremonies.
There was no mention of any change in the coaching staff in the letter.
Members of the board of Regents committee which met with the athletic board had no comment to make concerning the meeting. The board used help to report to the entire board of Regents when it meets in Manhattan, Dec. 28.
