An Advent wreath with four red candles representing the four weeks of the pre-Christmas observance hangs in the German department. Near the wreath sits a small ginger-bread house, iced in white and decorated in red hots and surrounded by wooden figures.

Bible reading and a dream sequence Poetry and carols, also in German were a part of the evening's activities.
The sounds of the Christmas celebration at Green Hall echo across the campus as the law students gather on the steps between classes toing carols and cheer. "We are, we are, we are, we are the KU bar." A Santa Claus greets passers-by with candy and a jolly laugh.
Christmas is quiet at Watkins Hospital, Erma Morgan, secretary of the Health Service, said. No patients will remain there over the holidays, she said. Patients were visited Tuesday by carolers.
THE NEWEST CAMPUS building is the scene of a past KU tradition. From 1920 until 1940 students gathered around a tree in front of Blake Hall to sing carols. The highlight of the night was the presentation to the Chancellor of funds raised for needy foreign students, refuge relief in the Near East, and the KU loan fund. The funds were raised through the sale of candles by the nen clubs.
The spirit of Christmas becomes a group spirit for students in living groups, religious organizations and campus clubs.
Many living groups began their Christmas activities early in December. Parties ranged from formal dinner-dances to tree trimming get-togethers.
GIVING WAS A THEME behind most parties as students exchanged gifts which were then given to the Toys for Tots drive. At some parties children were entertained by student Santas and treated to refreshments and caroling.
The religious aspect of the holiday has not been forgotten amid the rush of last-minute tests, shopping, and parties.
The Kappa Phi Methodist organization will carol at the Valley View Rest Home at 6:30 p.m. today.
After caroling, the group will hold a Yule Log service, a traditional worldwide Methodist service, according to Mrs. Karl Edwards, the group's adviser.
THE SAME YULE LOG, to be lit in a fireplace, is burned a little every year while the traditional Yule log story is read and carols sung.
KU students in the Evangelical United Brethren Fellowship presented a reading last night at a
Christmas program. The contemporary reading, "Just a Christmas Legend," depicted Christ observing how Christmas is celebrated on earth today.
