Fine performance puts 'Hawks in bowl
ROCK CHALK REVUE

Long hours pay off for five groups

For six groups, the last three months of work lead to only disappointment.
For five groups of Jayhawks, the last three months of work to get into Rock Chalk Revenue has paid off with another three months of even harder work.
Will Russell, Wheaton, Ill., senior said his group of Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi waited anxiously for word from the Rock Chalk Revue board.
The five groups making the show are Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta, Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Gamma, Delta Upsilon and kappa Kappa Gamma, and Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi. All will perform in this year's show beginning March 9.
"It's a relief knowing you did a lot of work and were successful," he said. "It made Thanksgiving break a little easier on me."
Twelve judges selected the five groups after reviewing a notebook of their performance including character sketches, costume designs and song lyrics.
Eric Tedder, Wichita freshman, was one of the six scholarship hall residents who worked to prepare for the judges.
Jaime Lamb, Lenexa junior, said her group of Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta had even more work to do now. She said the group would hold tryouts before the end of the semester to find the 25 men and 25 women who would perform.
She said once the spring semester began, practice would pick up. Rock Chalk Revue requires each group to practice one hour a day during the week and an hour-and-a half a day on the weekend to make sure it is ready a week before the show is scheduled, Lamb said.
Russell said he was glad to make the show for the second year in a row after being left out for nine years. He said his group's show, "Rockin' the Boat," was chosen for its strong writing and singing.

While Lamb's and Russell's groups look forward to the spring, the effort of the scholarship halls to make it into Rock Chalk fell short.

New center will break ground next semester

After years of planning, a rendering for the new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center was unveiled last week.
Ground-breaking for the $2.7 million building, long sought by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and student leaders, is scheduled for
Spring 2006.
The architects Gould Evans designed the building. Construction bids will be sent out in the spring semester. The building is projected to be complete by Spring 2007.
The new MRC will have
Santos Núñez, director of the current Multicultural Resource Center, said the updated facility was crucial.
"The current facility outgrew its space within the last six years. Having an updated facility is imperative for KU students to be able to educate themselves regarding multicultural issues and compete in the real world," Nuhez said.
more than 7,000 square feet, twice this size of its current facility in a renovated military annex building south of Anschutz Library.
Robert Page, director of Office of Multicultural Affairs, said he was unsure about what would happen to the old facility.
The original MRC was created in 1992.
David Ambler, at that time vice chancellor of student affairs, decided to create the MRC at Louisiana Street after student groups petitioned the Student Senate.
The current building, which is 2,469 square feet, includes a computer lab, classroom, resource room, student lounge and office space.
The center gradually outgrew its space, increasing from 415 student visits five years ago to more than 7,000 this year. In Spring 2001, the Office of Multicultural Affairs presented a plan for the new building to University administration.
In 1995, Facilities Operations renovated the annex and it opened on Sept. 6, 1995.
It wasn't until Spring 2003 that the University agreed to move forward with plans for a new MRC.
