GOP Fight Gets Fuel
OTTAWA (UP)—GOP District Chairman William S. Bowers, who said he had heard Gov. Fred Hall wants to block him from being a national convention delegate, disclosed contents of a letter today that may explain why.
Mr. Bowers wrote Al Becker, Wyandotte county chairman, that they "should be the last ones to join" any movement to defeat Harry S. Darby's bid to be reelected Kansas Republican national committeeman.

The Ottawa attorney wrote that he believed the majority of Republicans in the nine-county eastern Kansas area, "Politicians and all, feel that Mr. Darby is a popular and effective national committee-man and deserves the support of his home district."
Gov. Hall is seeking a friendly majority of Kansas' 22-member delegation to the national party convention. Vote of the delegation at San Francisco next August will decide whether Mr. Derby, former U.S. Senator of Kansas City, and Mrs. C. Y. Semple of Baxter Springs, are retained as Kansas members of the National Republican committee.

By MADELYN BRITE

senior, constructed the sim.
The devil makes a deal with a KU baseball player in one of the skits, "Damm Frankie," by Phi Gamma Delta.
Eight organized houses will present 12-minute humorous skits on life at KU. First and second place trophies wil be awarded to the houses with the best skits in the men's and women's divisions. The eight groups rehearsing now for next week's show were winners of the annual script contest judged by William Inge, playwright and KU alumnus.
Thetas Start Revue
When the curtain goes up, Kappa Alpha Theta, directed by Shirley Andrish, Topeka sophomore, will send off the revue with "IBM Blues," a musical version of IBM confusion at the University.
Next on the bill is a satire on student housing problems in
"Greek Suite," the Lambda Chi Alpha entry, directed by Alton Davies, Kansas City, Kan. senior. This skit is based on the plight of the fraternity which finds its house bulging at the beams to hold its 76 men with little hope of expansion.
The Alpha Delta Pi's, directed by Judy Hall, Independence, Mo. junior, mourn the death of the Jayhawk in "To Heaven and Back." In "Bob, the Hood," given by Sigma Nu, the audience will watch the antics of a group of dead-enders from New York as they come West to try to take over KU politics. Bruce Dillman, Independence senior, is director.
North College Hall promises a danceable version of "TGIF," with students striving to convince a skeptical professor of the merit of this Friday afternoon pastime. Donna Nelson, Kansas City freshman, is director, and Judy Anderson, Law-
rence freshman, plays the professor
role.

Vices Lure Student
In "Snow Red and the Seven Bolsheviks" the Vices of KU, played by mebmers of Alpha Tau Omega, lure John Ball, Bonner Springs sophomore, a lackadaisical student, from his studies. The plot of the comedy thickens as the spirit of the Campanella bell also vies for control of the student. Thomas Knorr, Wichita sophomore, is director.
"Little Bop Riding Hood," a dancing doll in the Gamma Phi Beta skit, takes the campus by storm and manages to give the lawyers and engineers another excuse for rivalry. Mary Ann Tinkier, Leavenworth junior, plays "Little Bop," and Dorothy Sorells, Kansas City junior, directs the skit.
Tickets for the Rock Chalk Revue will go on sale for 75 cents Monday, March 19 at the information booth. Tickets also will be sold in lots to organized houses, said Joe Muller, Winter Park, Fla., senior, producer.

Hall Plans Changes In Convention Rules
