Old Fraternity House Will Become Faculty Club .. Building formerly belonged to Phi Kappa Tau ..
The recently formed University of Kansas Faculty Club is seeking 600 members and $150,000 for renovation of club facilities, according to Henry Snyder, professor of history and chairman of the club's steering committee.
$150,000 Needed for Faculty Club
The club has enrolled 225 members since its formation in December, said Snyder Tuesday. He said that the university faculty should account for two-thirds of the new members and the Lawrence community the remainder.
The club's home is the former PiKappa Tau fraternity, 1120 W. 11th St. The cost of renovating the former fraternity is estimated at $15,000, said Snider. The club expects to raise about $50,000 from gifts, pledges and membership fees. They have now received about 60 per cent of that figure, he said.
The club has requested a loan from the University Endowment Association for the completion of the work of Snyder, was pleased with the progress of the club and had recommended that the Endowment Association approve the loan from the completion of the membership drive.
The usual membership fee of $0$ is being waived for anyone willing to donate $300 to the renovation fund, Snyder said. In addition to the membership fee, annual dues are $70.

Snyder explained that the goal of the club was to help people acquainted with faculty in other departments of the university and people in the Lawrence School of Medicine. Nichols was pleased with the strong support that the community had given to the club.

Haskell Plan To Stimulate Earth Interest
A program to spark Indian student interest in the Earth sciences is under way at Haskell Indian Junior College. The program is a cooperative effort of the University of Kansas department of geology, the Kansas Geological Survey and the U. S. Geological Survey, according to Thomas McClain, geologist for the Kansas Geological Survey.
In an interview Monday, McClain said that the program was part of a plan to interest more minority group students in the Earth sciences. McClain said that the local chapter was led by William Hambleton, director of the U.S. Geological Survey in Lawrence.
McClain said that so far a series of about six lectures on geology and related fields had been delivered in Sequoia Hall on the Haskell campus. These lectures by KU and geological survey members were concluded before the Christmas break.
McClain said that Hambleton contacted survey officials in Washington and officials in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and received their approval. KU became involved in the program because of the need for a school where Indian students could continue their studies after being graduated from Haskell Indian Junior College.
No further lectures were planned, McClain said. Program officials were checking with Haskell faculty and students to find what interest there was in the program.
Rock Chalk Entries Checked for Prejudice
Scripts for this year's Rock Chalk Revue were reviewed by representatives of the Commission on the Status of Women and the Racial Awareness Center, according to Dave Sites, Manhattan senior and producer of the revue.
Sittes said the two groups reviewed the scripts to eliminate discrimination, sexual and racial connotations. The policy was approved by a group of educators that have occurred in recent years, he said.
Sites said that the persons judging the scripts this year did not know who the other judges were and that the manuscripts they wrote were not shown, so they don't show the names of the groups involved.
The groups included in the 23rd annual revue are Hashinger Hall, Pi Beta Phi sorority-Kappa Sigma fraternity, and sorority-Alpha KappaLambda graturity.
The judges were Janet Sears, assistant to the dean of women; Chip Crews, Lawrence senior; and Robin Groom, Arlington, Va., senior.
The theme of this year's reverence is "Always Leave Thern Laughing When You Have To Ski." The skiers were broader in scope than those of previous years. Although still humorous and entertaining, a note of humorlessness was evident in two of the skills, he said.
CWC Plans Special Program
The awards presented at the revue have also been revised. Best production, best male performer and best female performer awards will be presented instead of the best skit, actor and actress awards of past years. The Rock Chalk committee is also con-

Nuenmaker was chosen as the place for the program, Gilham said, because it was a college-with-a-college not associated with the university and offered courses for louring and available counselors.
The 'non-traditional student' is a student who doesn't fit the education pattern of four years of college directly after finishing high school. The traditional student, justlasting to the college education, Gilham said.
"The staff will be particularly attuned to helping non-traditional students with admission and enrollment problems as well as personal and career advising, Gilham said. We think this is going to be a good way for the staff to meet others in the same situation."

A University of Kansas field expedition has returned from Mexico with more than 150 specimens of Riculiniella, a rare group of insects related to spiders and scorpions, to William Overal, Lawrence graduate student who directed the research force.
The small, reddish-grown Ricinulae are extremely rare. Overal, said and live in deep caves in the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and San Louis Potosi.
"This is a remarkable, lucky find he said, trying to take advantage of it," he said.
Overal said Ricinulli, which live in bat droppings and leaf litter, were almost unknown to scientists. He said little was known about their reproduction, movements or food.
Overal and Robert E. Beer, professor of entomology, and systematics and ecology, are attempting to find answers to these questions, Overal said.
