David Stipes, Manhattan senior and producer of this year's Rock Chalk Revue, said Tuesday that he was enthusiastic about the new game. "This is Sites fourth year in the Revue.
"This year the skirts are on an even keel," he said. They are all professionally done and are more sophisticated than they were in past years."
"The skits this year rely on legitimate and visual humor," he said. "They are here to be entertaining."
States said that nine scripts considered for this year's revue were screened three times by a board which included representatives of theatrical companies and the Commission on the Status of Women.
All of the groups submitting scripts were notified Jan. 10, he said, and practice for the four groups designed for Rock Chalk began in Hochberg Feb. 15, he said.
Stites said that he was equally impressed by all of the skits.
The not-*oo-blessed side of life in the animal kingdom will be presented in the Kappa Sigma-Gamma Phi Beta skilt, called 'Animal Domain Liberation or it's a Really
"They are all very different. There is no duplication of ideas or presentation," he said.
Two clowns starring in Hashinger Hall's presentation, "Ha Ha Ha," will represent the inner and outer selves of a person and portray the conflict between them.
A new angle to the boy-meets-girl story will be presented in the Sigma Pk-PI-Beta Phi skit, "The Comedian," as optimist and warrior in a battle over the best philosophy of life.

New compositional techniques and individual performers' imagination will highlight the performance of the Kansas University at 3:00 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre.
The program will focus primarily on Wilold Lutakowski's "Livre pour Orchestra," which includes many of mid 20th century music's new compositional techniques.

Alpha Kappa Lambda-Chi Omega skit, "Twice Upon a Time or the Long Tail of Success", as a dragon is forced to live among humans.
"Livre" is divided into four chapters, which are separated by interludes. In the interludes, the rest pause normally occurring between movements is given musical shape by the composer. The piece also includes a section in which the composer deliberately gives up control of the rhythmic element of the piece; the piece is the imagination of the individual performers and the conductor. The composer then slowly imposes rhythmic shape upon the music, creating a huge climax of rhythm order.
The revue's 17-piece orchestra will be conducted by Lynn Schonick, Lawrence Winningham.

would give the judges a better chance to performances in the 20-minute skills, he said.
According to Sites, costumes and sets have been deemphasized this year to keep costs down.
Sites said that the volume of tickets sold so far this year was about average. He said the number of tickets sold for three-fourths of the $3,000 tickets for Saturday night had been sold by Tuesday. The greater number of tickets sold for Sunday night were because awards are presented on that night.
According to Sites, each group in the revue will be reimbursed $50 by the KU-Y. Rock Chalk sponsor. Actual costs average about $500. Sites said, and participating groups hope to make up the difference by ticket sales.
