Singers 'Inspiring,' Says Choir Critic
By NANCY STUTZMAN
(Of The Daily Kansas Staff)
The University A Cappella choir presented an inspiring $1\frac{1}{2}$-hour program Sunday afternoon in the theater of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. Clayton Krehbiel, associate professor of music education, directed the group.
Before the appearance of the choir, one was a little shocked at the setting. Tall wooden planks set up around the risers offered a rather poor back-drop for the intended production. But as soon as the choir appeared in its blue robes and white stoles and began to sing, all that could be noticed was the magnificence of the voices.
The program consisted of two major works and four traditional Christmas carols. The choir began with Palestrina's "Missa Papae Marcolli" sung in Latin. Palestrina is regarded as the greatest church music composer of the late Renaissance.
Although the Mass was long, the music was so beautiful that the length was barely noticed.

Thumbs Down On Peepholes
"Many persons believe that if you are cleared in a police case you'll be cleared in civil court. This is wrong," he said.
He said a driver may have his windshield covered with snow except for a peephole and get by the police, but if an accident results through negligence, a civil suit can be brought against the driver.
He said if a person leaves a car with its motor running he is not breaking a law, but it is bad practice since a civil suit can be brought if something results from a person's negligence.
Most persons know that under normal conditions a car should be followed at a reasonable distance, but forget that in the winter conditions are worse and the car should be followed at a safer distance, he said. Here's where a driver can run into trouble with the police, he said.
New Building Bids Slated
The next big construction project on the campus, the 1.3 million-dollar School of Business and department of economists building, should be out for bids this week.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant for operations, said the state architect has almost finished the plans for the building. The next step is to call for bids.
Preliminary plans call for construction to begin by Jan. 1, 1958, and the building to be in use by fall. 1959.
It will be built north of Sunnyside Avenue, east of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.

featured Britten's "Ceremony of Carols." This was sung by the women members of the choir, accompanied by Miss Margaret Ling, instructor of harp. The carols were Middle English poems set to music.
A Wyoming law says only a man's mother, daughter, sister or the girl he is engaged to may wear his fraternity pin.
This number was intriguing to listen to. It ranged from slow moving pieces to those which raced along with such rapidity that at times the choir seemed to have difficulty in forming words.
The final group of selections were Christmas carols arranged by Shaw-Parker. They were "Masters in This Hall," "So Blest a Sight," "Christ Was Born on Christmas Day," and "Here," 'mid the Ass and Oxen Mild."
Answering dozens of questions, explaining why she isn't a Mrs., and being told all the family secrets, are daily routine for one coed who is practice teaching in a nearby kindergarten.
Another Way To Go Wrong
"My parents went to a party last night," a pigtailed 5-year-old told the student teacher. "My daddy must have the flu because he's been sick all morning. But my mommy doesn't even care."
"Your mother cares if your daddy is sick," the coed said.
"Oh no she doesn't," the little girl insisted. "She keeps telling myaddy that it serves him right."

Natural History Staff Collects Specimens For Research
Staff members of the Museum of Natural History collected specimens of mammals for research on two recent trips to Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Thirteen species of 75 different mammals were collected in Gage county, Nebraska, by Sidney Anderson, instructor of zoology; J. Knox Jones, Lincoln, Neb., and Wendell Minckley, Lawrence, both graduate students.
The collection included a woodland vole which had never been captured in that part of the state. Discovery of the animal extended its known range of habitation 50 miles northwest, Mr. Anderson said.

Skins of animals collected for study are prepared for observation and from them, museum staff members get information on rainfall, vegetation and other conditions in different parts of the area in which the animals live. Mr. Anderson said.
