Departments merge talent for KU's vesper service
Bu JACKI CAMPBELL
Combining their efforts in what James S. Ralston, KU choral director, describes as KU's major yuletide event, the music and fine arts departments will present Christmas Vespers next Sunday.
In Hoch Auditorium, three University choirs and the University orchestra will unite in an hourlong Christmas program. They will be aided with tableaus provided by KU art students.
THE PROGRAM STARTS at 2:30 p.m. with a carillon recital, and a brass choir on the Hoch auditorium balcony will fill the campus air with Christmas music.
The formal Vesper services begin at 3:30 p.m. with a candlelighting and an organ prelude.
Then the 200 choir members will march down the aisles singing "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful," accompanied by the University orchestra.
THE CHOIRS will be directed by Ralston and the orchestra will be conducted by George Lawner. Nick Vaccaro, chairman of KU's drawing and painting department, is working with art students to provide the program's background.
The art will include four tableaus, Vaccaro said. In addition to the artwork, students will be on stage to provide a real life effect. They will remain unmoved and mute, however.
This, KU's 42nd year of Christmas Vespers, will have relatively the same format as in years past, Ralston said.
AFTER THE PROCESSIONAL.
Sweelink's "Hodie, Hodie" and a tableau will come a carol from the brass choir in Hoch's balcony.
Next the orchestra solos will share the spotlight with the choirs in Holst's "Christmas Day."
Another tableau and balcony carol will follow, and then the audience will join in singing "Joy to the World."
leaus and balcony carols, the choir will also sing Kraehunbuhl's "Ideo Gloria in Excelsis, Deo."
while the orchestra plays its next number, will go into the Christmas Vespers Scholarship fund. Scholarships for music and art students come out of it. They are given on the basis of student talent and need.

IN THE FAMILY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — (UPI)— Don Brumfield, who won the Kentucky Derby aboard Kauai King in 1966, comes from a racing family. On the day he was born, May 24, 1938, his father was an exercise boy for Calumet Farm and later trained his own stable.
Next, the choir will sing a combination of Shaw and Parker's "Ya Viene la Vieja" and "Masters in this Hall."
BETWEEN TWO MORE tab-
After the audience enters the program once again in singing "Silent Night, Holy Night," the choir will march in the recessional "Hark The Herald, Angels Sing."
In addition to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. performance will be a final one at 7:30 p.m.
English pro results available soon
Results of the English Proficiency Examination should be out sometime this week, according to James E. Seaver, director of the Western Civilization department which conducts the test.
Seaver said the exact day for publication of the results depends upon when the instructors grading the tests return them to the Western Civ offices, and how fast the Statistical Service in Sum-
merfield can transfer the grades onto IBM cards.
If all the instructors return the tests tomorrow, and if the "Stat Service" isn't swamped with work, the results should be ready by Wednesday or Thursday, he said.

We'll award the brass figurie with bronze oak-leaf palm to anybody out there who can identify the author and the novel referred to in this quotation from a review in the *New York Post*: "The author obviously grew up in a Chicago-shadowed Indiana mill-town and he . . . emerges with a spirited and entertaining tale of well-spent youth. All of the characters are so believable we'd like to get to know them better, and many incidents are gloriously funny."
Okay, we'll give you a hint. This author (let's call him Charlie Applerot for the moment) has been described by the New York Times as "one of the greatest raconteurs in the history of radio." Satyr, the humor magazine of UCLA said "Applerot is a unique phenomenon: a social critic in the mass medium."
What's that? No, it's NOT Susan Sontag, for crying out loud!
Who? Nat Hentoff? The Catcher in the WHAT? Holy Smoke! Isn't there anybody out there who listens to the radio?
Look. This guy once played the sousaphone. He won the Playboy Humor; Satire Award in 1965. (And again in 1966. Wow! Consecutive! The first time in Playboy history!) He appears every Saturday night at a place called the Village Limelight. He's been a columnist for the Village Voice and the Realist.
He's written plays, movies, compiled anthologies, and acted on the legitimate stage. He performs at colleges. Six nights a week he tells them on the Jersey Turnpike what life is all about. Now he's written a novel which gets down to the furry, evil, green-eyed reality inside all of us!
The syllables in his name are blank, blank-blank. All right, all together gang, who is it?
Who said John Updike? Look kid, why don't you go out and get yourself a job this summer. Maybe you'll learn something for a change. We have just what you need. It's called the SUMMER EMPLOYMENT GUIDE 1967 and we put it out in paperback for the National Employment Services Institute and sell it for $2.95. It has over 50,000 job possibilities in recreation, government, and business arranged geographically and by type of job. There must be something somewhere you can do.
Oh, all right. Don't cry. You really want to know about the other thing? Okay, bring it up in the control room — a little of that Reality Razzmatazz. Shepherd! Yes, as a public service, Mr. Jean Shepherd, everybody's favorite, has written a novel of reality entitled IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH. It is at your college store now and it costs $4.50 and if you want one more reason to buy it. Miles Smith of the good old A.P. says: "This is a genuinely funny book . . . about a 20th century Tom Sawyer . . . It isn't funny-bitter; it is funny ha-ha. . . Grab it for a real adventure into unabashed pleasure."
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT GUIDE 1987 and IN GOOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH (yes, for crying out loud, we know it's not a paperback but it is unrequired) are published by Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York, publishers also of Anchor Books and lots of other books you'll find at one of the best-equipped bookstores in the country - your own college store.
