Three comedies and a light drama performed by all-Greek casts will compete in the 24th Rock Chalk Revue at 8 p.m. Friday in Hoch Auditorium.

Ombudsmen to Resume Program
Student ombudsmen may have been "somewhat remiss" in setting up the program this semester, but there will be someone in the office today, Kim Roberts, the first-year law student and director of the ombudsman program, said yesterday.
The student ombudsmen program was established in the spring of 1970 to investigate student complaints and questions about the University.

Roberts said the office would be open from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.

"We lay out the problem, tell the administrator why we think it can cause up, tell the administrator what to do."
An ombudsman isn't allowed to give legal advice, Rathbun said.
"We refer students to Legal Aid or the CPA" he said.

Five judges will view the skits Friday and five other judges will view the skits Saturday. Judges were selected by the revue committee, Kahler said, and are members of the students who have watched the revue before and a professional in musical comedy.

Kahler said that there was no obscurity in this year's revival and that no cuts had been made in any of the scripts by the people who had been asked to read them.
"I think groups are really sensitive about hurting people's feelings," Kahler said.

"YOU REALLY GET close to the groups and you get to see how they have interacted."
The KU-Y sponsors the revue, which is self-supporting through ticket sales.
"We just hope we can sell enough tickets to break even," Kahler said. Tickets are $2.50 for the Friday night performance and $3 Saturday night.
"The biggest expense is the orchestra and getting the music arranged," she said. "We send the music to a professional arranger in Kansas City."
Kaulier said that each group received $300 in performance as a “often thank-you.”

Bailey Hall's Namesake Chemistry Professor

University of Kansas officials congratulated themselves when the state legislature appropriated funds in 1899 for a new building, a grant to build a building allocation granted to KU that year. Chancellor Snow had been trying unintentionally in years to get the allocation approved.
Chemistry classes had originally been in a room in the basement of Fraser Hall. This was the case when E.H.S. Bailey, who originated the Rock Chalk Chant, became the University's professor of chemistry in 1883.
His class contained 35 students. When he retired 50 years later, the chemistry department had 35 instructors and 700 students.
Those who had clauses in the upper floors of Fraser complained about odors seeping through the walls.
The chemistry department shared the Shack with the School of Pharmacy and the building soon became overcrowded. A basement was dug which provided two classrooms in the atmosphere was so bad there that instructors frequently had malarial attacks.
In 1883, the legislature was persuaded to appropriate money for a new building, officially known as Chemistry Hall, nicknamed the Shack.
Finally, the new chemistry building was completed in 1900, and was known for thirty years as a model for similar buildings.

The building looked much the same then as it does today. However, when it was built, the roof had more than a dozen chimneys to let out fumes from exhaust hoods in the labs. It was finally named to honor Bailey in 1938.
When the chemistry department moved to Malott in 1894, Halley was handed over to the Society.
