A 20-foot rotating tree in the rotunda of Strong Hall adds to the Christmas atmosphere at KU.
A smaller tree, decorated by members of the art ed is on the drop ceiling in the foyer of B

Also included in the museum Christmas displays is a painting of the holy family's flight into Egypt by the 17th century French painter, Sebastien Bourdon.
Several sculptures of the Madonna and Child are included in the museum's standing collections. Most outstanding of these are a piece of 13th century Italian work and a statue by the 15th century German sculptor, Tilman Riemenschneider. The museum will be open throughout the Christmas vacation. It will close on Christmas and New Year's days.

Flood Control Plans Reviewed

Panhell Names Seven Chairmen
Women's Panhellenic Council named seven committee chairmen for its projects during the year at a meeting of the Panhellenic Council Monday.
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 1957

The council voted to set a date for the rush chairmen to be seated in Panhellenic Council beginning next year. Betty Lou Douglas, Kansas City, Kan. senior and president of the council, said that this change would enable the rush chairmen to become Panhellenic members at the same time so a training period can be held.

Have faith and stay in school men, and you will probably miss the draft until after you are graduated.
Draft May Wait Until Graduation
James K. Hitt, registrar, said Monday that there is little danger of students being drafted while in school, because draft quotas have been low for the last year and don't appear to be increasing.
Deferment now exempts the student from the draft for the entire school year and not only for a semester as in the past, Mr. Hitt said. The only time a student might be drafted during the school year is when he is called after having been deferred once, he added.
A report from the Lawrence Selective Service office Monday said they haven't had a draft call since September and don't know when to expect another one.
Docking Ponders Replacement For 2 Regents
Gov. George Docking today indicated that he will not re-appoint Mrs. Elizabeth Haughey, Concordia, to the State Board of Regents when her term expires Dec. 31.
"She is a nice woman and I admire her, but I can't see that she has done much." Gov. Docking said.
Gov. Docking also said that he is "thinking about replacing" A. W Hershberger, Wichita. Both Mrs Haughy and Hershberger are Democrats.
The governor described Oscar Stauffer, Topeka, also up for reappointment, as a "very capable man."
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, when asked his opinion this morning, said, "No comment." George B. Smith, dean of the University, also said, "I have no comment."
Docking praised McDill Boyd, Phillipsburg, whose term will not expire this year. He singled him out to say that "he has done some good work and a lot of it."
Other members of the Board of Regents are Claude C. Bradney, Columbus; Ray Evans, Kansas City, Kan., Clement Hall, Coffeyville; Lawrence Morgan, Goodland, and Harry Valentine, Clay Center, Hubert Brighton, Topeka, is secretary.

Polio Injection Cost Reduced
Hospital Lowers Price On 1st,2nd;3rd,4th Free
Campus Chest Drive Extended
A bargain sale on polio shots at Watkins Hospital will start today. Ralph L. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said Monday that 700 doses of the vaccine will be available at reduced prices to students taking first and second shots and free to those taking their third and fourth shots.
The Campus Chest drive will be extended through Wednesday, Robert N. (Jim) Davis, Dodge City senior and chairman of the drive, said Monday. A total of $2,250 had been collected by 10 p.m. Monday.
Davis said the drive was being extended so the solicitors would have more time to turn in their money.
"Things are moving satisfactorily," Davies said. "The Four Freshmen concert and the Mr. Campus Chest contest brought in more than expected. If the solicitations from the student body are what we expect, it looks as if we will have a record drive."
Approximately $1,150 was cleared on the Four Freshmen's concert Sunday. The Mr. Campus Chest contest brought in $352. Organized houses have turned in $748. Hodder Hall has turned in the most money per capita and Gerturde Sellards Pearson Hall is second.
Foreign Student Tea Is Thursday

George (Buzz) Hunt, Chicago, Ill
sophomore will sing folk songs
Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, Miss Patricia Patterson, assistant dean of women, and Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, have been invited as special guests.
Weather
Cold wave warning east portion. Few snow flurries northeast this evening. Much colder tonight with temperature drop reaching cold wave proportions east portions. Continued strong northerly winds 25-35 miles per hour diminishing by morning. Low tonight 10 northeast to 15 southwest. Fair and cold Wednesday with highs 25-30 east to 35-40 west.
Low this morning 39. Low Monday was 23, high 57.
Must Be Used By Jan. 1
The shots, which usually cost $1.50, will be offered to students taking their first shot for $1. The second shot will cost 50 cents. Dr. Canuteson said.
Dr. Canuteson said the 700 doses will not be safe to use after Jan. 13, so the hospital had to try some way to see that the vaccine was used. Students may take advantage of the bargain price if they have taken their previous shots at the hospital,
"Public health agencies are recommending that a fourth shot be taken six months after the third shot," Dr. Canutesan said.
Don't Forget About Flu
Don't Forget About Dr. Canuteon also said that students are not taking advantage of flu shots. He said that the hospital was having an unusually quiet period since the Thanksgiving vacation.
"Wait until after Christmas," he said. "We will probably be back above normal then and that's no time for anybody to get sick, with final examinations so close."
The number taking flu shots this year is practically unchanged from last week's 4,350. Dr. Canutson said absenteeism in Kansas public schools has dropped to a near normal 6,000 from the 35,000 at the peak of the flu epidemic.
"Our problem is not having enough flu vaccine, but how much to buy," he said.
There were two nudes in the magazine, both in advertisements. One ad for a cleaning firm showed a woman from behind with the words, "Don't be caught with your backside bare, let us clean the clothes you wear."
All The Nudes Fit To Print?
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP)—The University of Missouri humor magazine, Show Me, came out today and the director of student publications immediately said it showed too much—of nude women.
Director Fred Robbins ordered the magazine off news stands and banned street sales.
Another ad for men's clothing showed a woman from the front, with several strategically placed "toy" signs. The words said, "Ooops, sorry, we aren't in the toy business but we've got just what you need in the way of Christmas clothes."
The Board of Student Publications has a regular meeting scheduled for tomorrow and will discuss the magazine at that time, Mr. Robbins said.
Ike Fitness To Attend NATO To Be Checked
Doctors this afternoon were to pass on the fitness of President Eisenhower to travel to Paris for next week's NATO "summit" conference.
Only a firm veto by the physicians is expected to keep the President from personally trying to rally the NATO nations to meet Russia's space age challenge.
In view of his apparently rapid recovery from a mild stroke Nov. 25, a negative verdict would come as a surprise. Vice President Richard M. Nixon will head the U. S. delegation if Mr. Elisehower is not allowed to attend
A KU professor of physiology told The Daily Kansan in an interview recently that reducing the
President's workload won't necessarily decrease his chances of having another stroke.
Prof. Kenneth Jochim said: "There is no way of fortelling whether the President will have another stroke or not. He might go for years without one. "The stroke doesn't seem to have left any permanent bad effects. Only a small part of the brain was involved and apparently the blood supply has been restored."
"Of all the organs in the body, the brain is least able to withstand interference of the blood supply. The fact that he has one such stroke means that the probability is greater that he will have another."
