Thomas Flatley, Ph.D., professor of economics, to handle the statistics involved iii a monthly business survey which they are conducting. All information will be sent directly to Dr. Flatley and he will be the only person to see the individual figures. The survey, which will be broken down for restaurateurs in the four sec tions Loop, North side, South side, and West side will enable members to compared their sales figures with the average figure for their section and with the city as a whole. Restaurant managers, seeing the month-to-mouth rise and fall of their own figures, will be able to predict their percentages somewhat, and may- find ways to conserve food during a current drop.

Preluding the ceremony, the Glee club, under the direction of Adalbert Huguelet, will sing the Christmas Hymn arranged by Specker and the light- hearted Ding Dong Merrily on High by Geer. As the Glee club members finish, repre sentatives of the Faculty, the Alumnae, the classes, and the clubs, carrying light ed candles, will come in procession from the entrance of the auditorium to the stage. During the ceremony, each stu dent will hold a lighted candle in her hand.

Caroling Procession Will Begin Tomorrow Evening President Gives Message On the first Christmas night, over 1900 years ago, the coming of the Sa vior, the Prince of Peace and the Light of the World, was heralded with joyous Hallelujahs sung by angel choirs, and by the appearance of a brilliant Star in the East. Tomorrow, the students and the Fac ulty- will join in honoring the feast of the Nativity in a way similar to that in which it was marked on the first Christmas. Singing voices will re sound through the corridors as the students will join from all parts of the building, from the eighth to the first floors, in singing the Christmas carols. Form Symbolic Cross Replacing the Star of the East will be a nine-story cross of candle light, made up of 52 glowing tapers which will shine southward over Chicago. With the ringing of the 3 o'clock bell, the holidays will become a reality and the students will be invited to a motion picture in the auditorium. At 5:30, a holiday supper will be served in the tea-room. When darkness begins to fall, about 6:15, a radio chime will summon sen iors to the eighth floor, juniors to the seventh, sophomores to the sixth, and freshmen to the fifth. Say Traditional Prayer Then, as the candle lighting prayer, I touch you, O Candle of Faith, with Light, the Symbol of His Love Who is the Candle of the World ... is spoken, class and club officers will light the tapers which will gleam from the windows of the building and down over Sheridan Road. Then, at a signal, the carolers will start, and the procession, headed by seniors in caps and gowns, will wind down through the building, being joined on the way by the classes on the different floors, and out the east door of the College for the hanging of the wreaths at the main entrance. Hear Christmas Message Inside once more and gathered around the giant candle, the students will hear the Christmas message of Sister Mary Justitia, B.V.M.. President of the College. The evening ceremonies will end with the singing of carols, and a Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night will be the parting words as the holidays begin.
