Judging Changes Eyed for Revue
The audience which annually packs Hoch Auditorium for the Rock Chalk Revue may be a factor this year in skit judging.
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior and producer of the revue, said the staff will discuss new systems of judging at a meeting Oct.14.
PREVIOUSLY, WHITMAN said, judges have used only their own opinions in selecting winning skits.
The suggestion to change the judging system was voiced at a staff dinner Sunday evening. Among other "gripes" brought up then was the use of extremely large casts in the past by organized houses. Several of those at the dinner, who said large casts were attempts to stage "spectaculars," suggested that casts be limited to 40 or 50 persons.
Theme of this year's Rock Chalk is "Historical Hysteria." Themes are to be based on historical events.
"Literary quality may be emphasized more this year than in the past." Whitman added.
THREE FRATERNITIES will have the chance this year to retire the first place trophy. The trophy, which normally "travels" to each succeeding first place winner, is now awarded to any house which wins first place three times.
Two years ago Pi Beta Phi sorority retired the first place trophy.
Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Tau Omega, and Delta Upsilon fraternities have won first places in Rock Chalk twice.
Two years ago Pi Beta Phi sorority retired the first place trophy. Fraternities and sororities known to be preparing scripts to submit this year are Alpha Tau Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Chi and Chi Omega, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Gamma, Beta Theta Pi and Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Nu and Alpha Chi Omega.

A BRILLIANT FIRST RECORDING BY THE "WEST SIDE STORY"
OSCAR-WINNING STAR! (S)T-1750
Dean Gorton described the Van Cliburn competition as the largest such event ever held. The winners of $20,000 in prizes, including a $10,000 first prize, will be announced tonight.
The pressure of competition is no new experience for Prof. Perry, who joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1960. He won two international piano contests in Europe in 1959—the Busoni Piano Competition at Bolzano, Italy, and the Viotti International competition at Vercelli, Italy.
He plays his semi-final numbers today. Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said that Prof. Perry had to prepare for $4\frac{1}{2}$ hours of performance, which is equal to about four concerts.
