Chorus to give winter fete despite finals, Super Bowl
In Hoch Auditorium, James Ralston, KU choral director, and three assistants were straightening 400 chairs.
THE UNIVERSITY Chorus is entering final preparations for its winter concert to be given at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, in Hoch Auditorium.
Competing against the world championship football game between Kansas City and Green Bay, not to mention finals, the 400-voice choir will sing Mozart's Grand Mass in C Minor. They will be accompanied by a 65-piece university orchestra, and all will be directed by Ralston.
THIS IS THE FIRST University Chorus concert which Ralston directs.
"We do have an acoustics problem here," Ralston said of Hoch, but he has installed several sound boards to direct the music toward the audience.

mercial vehicles (taxis, buses, trucks), Schumock said.
Schumock said he can expect about 150 vehicles to come through between the time he comes on duty and the time when the campus is opened to general traffic. This is an average of a little over one car per minute.
WHAT'S IT LIKE to be a tugboat captain?
"It's interesting. You meet all kinds of people. It's a little hot in summer and a little cold in winter, but I like it." Schumock said.
He started an ordinary shift by tidying up the place. He arranged the short-term passes so the wind wouldn't scatter them when he opened the door. He cleaned the windows on the south side. He noted how much traffic had been through so far during the day.
A CAR STOPPED at the booth.
An alum who hadn't been back "for about eight years" who "wanted to see the old place again" asked for and received a visitor's pass and a map of the campus.
When does the campus get the most traffic?
ON INDIVIDUAL DAYS, the peak comes during the lunch hour.
Seasonally, the most people come on campus during the summer, just before university vacations, and around Homecoming time.
Schumock starting working for the KU police last March. At that time he rode "shotgun" with a patrolman in a car to learn the campus, the parking lots and about "KU police-ing" in general.
Then he moved into one of the control stations for training. After that, he went onto the
evening shift and started the regular tugboat routine.
AFTER HE CLOSES the control station at 4:45, he begins to foot-patrol the campus.
"I check the parking lots and buildings to make sure nothing is going on that shouldn't be. I also write tickets for illegally parked cars."
His "beat" is the east and southeast part of the campus. Sometimes he goes on patrol in a squad car.
EVERY TWO WEEKS, the five men in the control stations rotate to another station. Schumock will go to the 14th Street station next.
"There's not too much traffic over there. It's kinda slow. Most of the cars come in this entrance."
Has a car ever hit his tugboat?
"No, but I'm kind of amazed there hasn't been. You see some careless crazy driving here on this circle, but I've never seen an accident."
WHAT KIND OF EXCUSES do students give to get on campus illegally?
"All kinds. You have to use your own judgment. As a rule, it isn't too bad. Mostly, they try to make you believe they're not students. Sometimes they use the hospital claiming they want to go over there and that they are really sick."
WHAT IS THE JOB of the captain of a tugboat?
"You have to try not to make the public mad at you. You don't want to keep anyone out that should be coming on campus. You have to watch so they don't run over you."
"But mainly, you try to send them the easiest quickest way to where they want to go."
