College Humor Show Tonight
Eight skits presenting the more humorous aspect of college life, will be given at the Rock Chalk revue in Hoch auditorium at 7:45 tonight and Saturday. Tickets will be on sale at the door. Four sororities and four fraternities will compete for the two 36-inch trophies to be awarded.
Permanent trophies for first and second place winners in the men's and women's divisions will also be awarded. Lawrence merchants contributed the funds to buy two traveling trophies which will be awarded to first place winners in both divisions.
Bill Champion, producer of the revue said, "The last dress rehearsal was a lot better than last year. The rehearsals show a lot more than those of last year. From all angles, it's in pretty good shape. I think it is because of harder work, more time spent, and the fact performers are more experienced. This is really going to be a great show."
The titles of the skits and houses presenting them for the second annual presentation of the revue are: Beta Theta Pi, "Life of a Call-Boy, or Bedlam in the Bunks;" Alpha Tau Omega, "The Children's Hour"; Sigma Chi, "The Old Draft Blues." Phi Delta Theta, "And they Sang as they Came West."
Pi Eta Phi, "Habee Corpus, or,
Do you have the body?" Sigma
Kappa, "I-A Charlie"; Chi Omega,
"The Queens Fiends' routine;" and
Alpha Chi Omega, "Dancing through
K.U."
Between skit entertainment will be provided by the Phi Gamma Delta jazz combo, the Delta Delta Delta quartet and Dale Moore, soloist.
Judging of the skits, which are limited to 13 minutes each, will be done by three different judges on each evening. Skills will be rated on a point basis.

BULLETIN
FACTS Charges ASC Juggling Of Polling Spots
F. A.C.T.S., campus political party, at a party meeting Thursday charged the All Student Council election committee with gerrymandering in its selection of polling places.
The charge came after a F.A.C.T.S. subcommittee reported on their findings in the investigation of polling sites as designated by the A.S.C.
According to the committee report, division I, which includes students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, has a smaller proportion of students to ballot boxes than other divisions.
The report pointed out that division I includes 2,134 students and has three polling places, enough to accommodate 71 voters an hour at each box.
Division III, including the Business, Fine Arts, Education, Pharmacy, and Graduates schools, has 2,460 students and only one polling place which must handle 246 an hour.
Division II, the School of Engineering, has 1,000 students and one polling site which handles 100 an hour. In division IV, the Law and Medical schools, there are 265 students and one polling place handling 27 an hour.
The committee recommended the following plan: Four balloting sites for division I, which would handle 54 an hour; two for division II, which would handle 50 an hour; three for division III which would handle 82 an hour; and four for division IV, which would handle 27 an hour.
John Bannigan, journalism senior, was announced as editor of Facts, the party bulletin. It was also announced that final date for filing nominations for the party primary Tuesday, March 20.
The proposed visit of an aviation cadet selection team as announced in Wednesday's Kansan has been cancelled, Capt. Robert R Council, advance representative for the team, announced today.

6:45 a.m. KUWG cabinet breakfast, Dr. Frank Rearick leading the discussion.
Enemy resistance dwindled on the western half of the offensive front, and it was there that the Eighth army began flanking the strong Communist defenses around Seoul, former South Korean capital.
U. S. forces opened the drive by widening to 12 miles their bridgehead along the north bank of the Han, some 13 miles east of Seoul, then striking north with tank support due east of the Red-held capital.
The Reds threw one feeble counter-attack against the 25th division's western flank, but otherwise resistance was light. Initial gains of a mile or more were reported.
The Americans now held a solid Han river bridgehead up to six miles deep from a point 13 miles east of Seoul to Yangpyong, where the river bends sharply south. All three 25th division spearheads which smashed across the river two days ago, have linked up with 24th division forces northwest of Yangpyong.
A 10th corps spokesman said the stuff enemy delaying action appeared designed to permit the unrestricted withdrawal of Communist troops to the north.
The Communists began their counter-attacks against the eastern half of the offensive front last night and dented the U.N. line at one point, but U.S. forces recaptured the lost ground after dawn and pushed ahead for new gains.
