Vespers Welcome Christmas Dec.15
The Christmas season will be welcomed at KU with the 33rd annual presentation of the Christmas Vespers, Dec. 15 in Hoch Auditorium. Performances will be given at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m.
All departments of the School of Fine Arts plus 400 students and faculty members will participate in the program. Included are the A Cappella choir directed by Clayton Krehbiel, associate professor of music education; the University Symphony Orchestra led by Robert Baustian, associate professor of orchestra; Ronald Barnes, University carillonneur and instructor of music history; a choral ensemble directed by Edwin Foot Jr., Washington, D.C. graduate student; and a horn ensemble led by John Hill, instructor of music education.
Approximately 6,000 persons are expected to attend the Vespers. There is no admission charge.
A recital on the Memorial Carillon by Mr. Barnes, and Christmas carols by a brass ensemble led by Mr. Hall will precede the programs at 2:45 and 6:45 p.m.
Following an organ prelude by Laurel Everette Anderson, professor of organ and theory and University organist, the traditional ceremony of lighting the candles will be held.
The A Cappella choir will present six selections, "Fanfare for Christmas Day," "I Saw Three Ships," "Carol of the Drum," "Three Kings," "Bulalalow" and "Glory to God in the Highest."
The University Orchestra will play two Brahms choral preludes. "There Is a Rose in Flower," and "O God, Thou Hollest," and Corelli's "Christmas Concerto."
Four tableaux have been designed by Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, Robert Green, associate professor of drawing and painting, and Robert Sudlow, assistant professor of drawing and painting. They are "Anunciation," "The Angel of the Lord," "Three Kings," and "Adoration."
In the tableau "Anunciation" the Madonna will be portrayed by Kav Cunningham, Metairie, La., freshman, and the angels by Carolyn Yates, Kansas City, Mo. senior, and Barbara Jane Everly, Eudora junior. James Hamil, Kansas City, Mo. senior will portray the angel in "The Angel of the Lord."
In the third tableau, "The Three Kings." Miss Cunningham will be the Madonna and Bill Burnison, Ontario, Calif. and John Book, Kansas City, Kans. sophomores, and Bob Ebendorf, Topeka freshman, will be the kings.
In the tableau, "Adoration," Jerry Krause, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, Jay Fisher, Marion, and Richard Berger, Kansas City, Kans. seniors, will be the shepherds. Miss Cunningham will again be the Madonna.
Restore KU Cut, Docking Asked
(Continued from Page 1.)
"I would never hesitate to give a good professor a good salary," he said.
interest is to see that such things as salary increases are handled on a "scientific basis."
Mr. Boyd said KU has 32 vacant faculty positions which can't be filled and which the University cannot even get applications for.
Mr. Boyd told the hearing that even the proposed 5 per cent increase would put Kansas State College faculty salaries 19 per cent below the national average.
Mr. Nichols said Thursday it would take a 20 per cent increase in salaries to bring those at KU up to the level of pay in the Big 10 schools.
Below National Average
At the hearing Gov. Docking asked how Kansas salaries compared with the Big 8. Hubert Brighton, regents secretary, said KU ranks third in professorial pay, first for associate professors, second for assistant professors, and fourth for instructors.
"But, we aren't in competition with other Big 8 schools for faculty members," Mr. Nichols said. "We are in competition with the Big 10 and the southwest schools."
Place Order For Tickets
Students who want tickets for the Big Eight pre-season basketball tournament in Kansas City Dec. 26-30 can now place their orders with the athletic department.
Earl Falkenstien, business manager of the athletic department, said his office has ordered 1200-1500 tickets, which should get here in a week or two.
He said these tickets are reserve seat tickets, and must be bought for all four nights of play.
Tickets not sold in the 4-ticket sets will be sold individually at a later time. The KU athletic department will also have about 600 general admission tickets.
During the tableaux, a choral ensemble directed by Mr. Foot will sing "Salutation Carol," "While Shepherds Watched," "Kings in Glory," and "Lo, How a Rose."
