Before the vespers, Albert Gerken, university carillonneur, will play short musical selections at the Campanile. KU's Brass Ensemble will add to the music with carols played from the balconies of the auditorium.
FOUR TABLEUX, "The Annunciation," "Starlight, Tree Bright, Noel," "Carolers," and "Madonna and Child," will be
focal points of the services. The tableux were designed by the faculty members of the School of Fine Arts.
Preceding the presentation of each tableau the University Chamber Choir and the University Concert Choir will sing.
After each tableau is presented the University Singers will perform.
INSTRUMENTAL music throughout the services will be provided by the University Symphony Orchestra.
A candlelight recessional by the robed University Chamber and Concert choirs will close the services.

KU's Children's Hour Wins Service Award
KU-Y volunteers in Children's Hour, Inc., have been given a morale boost by several recent developments, Linda Gilha, Manhattan senior and co-chairman of the group, said.
Children's Hour recently placed among the eight semi-finalists for the Lane Bryant award for community service. Miss Gilna said, Mrs. Walter Blackledge, a Lawrence executive of the group, went to New York to receive the recognition on behalf of Children's Hour.
MISS GILNA said, "We've moved into the basement of the Ballard Community Center. Everything has been fixed up and painted."
Ballard Community Center is the renovated schoolhouse which houses the Children's Hour nursery school. It is being restored for this purpose, Miss Gilna said.
There is one problem with the nursery school volunteers. "They're operating pretty well, but when the semester changes, so will the hours of availability of the teachers. We may need new ones." Miss Gilna said.
THE KU STUDENTS helping Children's Hour are not all with Miss Gilna's organization. "The Alpha Chi Omega sorority is giving toys to Children's Hour this Christmas," she said.
The special activities groups of the Children's Hour will continue as usual despite semester changes, Miss Gilina said. She described the program as "four college students taking four nursery school pupils to museums, children's plays and other places such as the library.
Wives Sponsor Christmas Dance
Psychology wives will sponsor a Christmas dance Dec. 11. The dance will be held at the Elks Lodge, 725 Vermont Street, from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Graduate students and faculty members of the psychology department are invited to attend.
"THE SPECIAL activities groups compose about one third of the nursery school. The Lawrence High Y-Teens will give a Christmas party for the children in the small groups," she said.
Another area is the afterschool tutor service. Bill Manning, Wichita senior, is the KUY coordinator and is in the process of recruiting tutors.
nity Santa Claus will bring gifts to 30 underprivileged children at a party Sunday. The men collected $150 for the party.
MANNING SAID he was geting some response but "still needs volunteers."
SANTA CLAUS will also visit twelve orphans at the Alpha Tau Omega Christmas party Wednesday night. After the children receive presents from Santa he will read Christmas stories to them. Sisters of the Maltese Cross will assist the fraternity with the party.
He said the program is in the stage of being revamped and closing arrangements are being made for the program.
The ATO's will hold their Christmas formal December 17 at the Holiday Inn. Dinner will precede the dance.
Residents of Miller, Sellards, Pearson, Jolliffe and Stephenson halls are combining their Christmas formal this year at the Hotel Eldridge. The formal is scheduled for tomorrow.
TOMORROW Battenfeld Hall will hold its Christmas formal at the Holiday Inn. Dinner at the Kansas Union will precede the dance.
Residents of Stephenson Hall will hold an informal stag party Tuesday. The men are contributing to the Toys for Tots program this year.
Mrs. Claire Brown, Alpha Chi Omega housemother, will be honored with a holiday tea Sunday afternoon.
