Selection stressful for participants
Judges choose five best scripts for performance
A panel of professional judges from the Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas selected the winners the weekend prior to "In and Out," but the winners were not revealed until the ceremony.
Kyle Evans, Derby senior and executive director for the revue, said that all of the groups performed a segment of their show for the judges prior to the In and Out ceremony.

Jen Ricci, Topeka junior and a Gamma Phi Beta skit director, said that the ceremony was a tense event because all of the work the groups had put in could be finished in a matter of seconds.
"We were one of the last groups called," she said. "When they finally called out our name, we screamed
"The judges were looking for a good quality show." Evans said. "Not just one aspect, but an overall good script. The shows had to be funny and entertaining."

Left-out groups cope with missing the cut
By Chris Fickett
Special to the Kansan
Rock Chalk Revue was in their blood.
For the women of Delta Gamma and the men of Sigma Nu, the revue was almost an annual occurrence.
in 1993, 1994, 1995, again in 1996 and last year, both Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu made the cut. But not this year.
"There are good points of being left out, because it allows you to concentrate on school." Hansen
this year.
Erin Hansen, Wichita junior and one of the directors for Delta Gamma-Sigma Nu skit this year,
said that the group had mixed feelings about not being chosen for the revue.
said. "But we were disappointed."
Dave Wisely, Lawrence senior and a director for the group, said he was a little disappointed that the sorority-fraternity team was not chosen.
Wisely said one reason he was not disappointed was because the revue was a bonding experience.
"I wasn't really down when it happened," he said. "The way I look at it, it was the best we could do."
"You spend so much time with each other, you can't help but bond with one another," Wisely said. "I felt good that we were able to come together and produce something we thought was really good."
Hansen said that her previous two years in the show were a great experience.
"It's the highlight of your year," she said.
During the years, the show has been the highlight and a let down for other groups, as well. Alpha Gamma Delta participated in the revue in 1993 and 1994, but did not make it into this year's show.
Hansen said that after the theme was announced in September, she and fellow directors Wisely, Aimee Mitchell, Ballwin, Mo., junior. Annessa Staab, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, and Nick Santos, Wichita sophomore, met every night to
"Any time you put that much effort into something, of course you're going to get let down if you don't make it," said Erin Veazey, Wichita senior and cast member for Alpha Gamma Delta.
After turning in the notebook. Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu had to wait two weeks for the announcement ceremony, which was held in the Kansas Union Ballroom Nov. 24.
brainstorm for their notebook, which contains such things as the script of show, characters and set designs. The notebook determined if their group would be in the show or not, she said.
Hansen said the ceremony was nerve-racking because each group's hard work culminated on one night
Although the Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu were not selected that night, Hansen said that would not stop the group from trying again.
"We'll do it again next year, that's for sure," Hansen said.
To the men of Delta Chi:
