By Jack Harrison Integrated skits gave new life to the Rock Chalk Revue this year, but the student talent didn't seem to stretch as far as it has in past years. Gov. George Docking absorbed the most punishment, but he would have had some consolation in knowing that Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and other KU administrators took it on the chin a few times themselves. According to our personal rating system—90 per cent enjoyment and 10 per cent horse sense—the Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta skit. "Rioting in Africa." was the evening's best. We'll give second place to Joyce Malicky, Delta Gamma and Alpha Tau Omega, with "The Glass Galosh." ALSO RUNNING were "The Emperor's New Building," "Desire Under the Acropolis" and "My Fearless Freddie." The whole thing added up to an enjoyable evening, with plenty of laughs, a little good music and a bit of satire. Jim McMullan, the easy-going, guitar-picking balladeer, was the best of the in-between acts. Jan Banker and Clyde Kensinger provided some good comedy sketches. But the local five-man combo and the nine-man singing group from Kansas State took up too much time. They weren't bad, but they passed the point of diminishing return early in their presentations. BRUCE LEWELLYN was an adequate master of ceremonies. His best offering was a telephone conversation between the governor and the Chancellor, who didn't quite understand who that fellow named George was. Everyone who had a speaking part got in a jab at the poor governor. The audience enjoyed every minute of it. There was a bit more anti-Docking feeling around the campus after Dr.. Murphy resigned last week. The tone of the evening's entertainment got off to a sleepy start, with several slow numbers by the combo opening the show. THE HEAT in Hoch Auditorium also made for good sleeping, and we might have drifted off if we hadn't been busy straining to catch the next off-color joke. Evidently the custodian was trying to melt the snow off the roof—he had the place well-heated, at any rate. One more petty grievance, please. There should not be an intermission if there is no room for the audience in the lobby. And there isn't in Hoch. The staff did a fine job on this year's revue. They put in a lot of hard work, and provided some good entertainment. Congratulations should go to Bev Baird, Roger Stanton, Dick Dowell, John Patton and all the others who helped. The 1960 revue was a little long and a little slow in spots, but we had a big time, and that's what counts. George Orwell, creator of the nightmare police state of "1984," continues his vivid portrayal of the evils of dictatorship in "Animal Farm," the story of a barnyard society under the boot and the lash of tyranny. About 150 students packed Bailey Theater last week to watch a color cartoon adaptation of Orwell's penetrating satire on man's political and social ineptitude. Orwell's group of animals is humanity in microcosm. The basic vices and virtues of man in the political environment are painted boldly on the characters of the barnyard beasts. Orwell's society has its elite class, the pigs. The animals are led to revolt against their vicious master, farmer Jones, by Old Major, an ancient boar who inflames the animals to action with a stirring appeal to their rights as individuals. He reminds them that only the slaughterhouse or a life of servitude awaits them if they fail to right the wrongs done them by Jones. Animal Farm prospers under the benevolent leadership of Snowball, an idealist pig who has plans for the further development of the farm's resources. But the villian of the piece steps in and the subtle process of transformation from a free-thinking collective, cooperative society to an absolute dictatorship begins. Napoleon, another pig, is bent on personal power. Unknown to Snowball, he has trained a pack of killer dogs to serve him — the barnyard version of the NKVD or Gestapo. Failing to depose Snowball legally, he looses the pack, which kills the unfortunate idealist. Napoleon takes over. Slowly but inexorably he begins to bring the society under his complete control, distorting the laws and eliminating those who resist his rule. The viewer can easily forget that the characters are animals, so chillingly familiar are the bood purges, perversions of the law and the tightening stranglehold on the throat of liberty. These scenes may well have been played in Germany during the '30's or in Russia any time during the past 40 years. There is not much about "Animal Farm" that is amusing. It is more a social document than anything else. If its characters seem too vividly painted to be entirely true, or if the situations it develops seem exaggerated, this is only because Orwell is trying to drive home, in simple, understandable analogies, the same lesson he taught in "1984" — that there is no greater social or political evil than the ruthless totalitarian state.

Press Releases 'Study in Yellow' It is focused on the "Yellow Book," the magazine which reflected the literary and artistic tendencies of the 1890's. "A Study in Yellow," which retails for $5, is a study of the whole "yellow" decade and is concerned mainly with the contributors of the group. Mrs. Mix, a former member of the English department at KU, now teaches at Baker University. She has contributed to the "New Yorker" and other periodicals under the name of Katherine Lyon, and has met several of the 1890 writers, including the late Max Beerbohm. Demo Tells Policy On Higher Education The state's policy toward higher education will be discussed by state Representative Thomas Van Cleave (D-9th district) at a meeting of the campus Young Democrats to be held tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk room of the Kansas University. Edward Graham, third-year law student from Belleville and president of the KU Young Democrats, said the meeting is open to all students desiring to attend. MARKET DEEPING, England — (UPI)—The Market Deeping parish council, noting that the local graveyard was full, voted 27 to 1 yesterday to tell the nearly 1,200 villagers: Stay Alive, Graveyard's Full "Stay alive at all cost. We've nowhere to put you if you die." Sharp contrasts of light and dark cause eyes to work overtime. When reading, have the entire room well lited for less contrast between the ages and surrounding areas. Girl Climbs 11,000 Feet To See Snow-in Hawaii By Rael F. Amos Not many students would understand why anyone would climb 11,000 feet of mountain to see snow, but one student admits having done just that. ERMILE KODANI, Honolulu, Hawaii, junior, said that after three years at the University of Kansas she is used to snow, but that it took some preparation. "I had seen snow before I came to Kansas." she said. "IT SNOWS ON SOME of the mountains in Hawaii, and once some friends and I climbed 11,000 feet to be in some snow. The funny part about it was that, of course, it wasn't snowing while we were up there, so when we were in our first snow storm here, it was a new experience. "I spent three weeks in San Francisco before coming to Lawrence, so I was somewhat prepared for the 'shock' of the climate before I arrived. It gets very cool in San Francisco at times," she said. SHE DID HER PREPARING for the Kansas climate after her arrival in Lawrence. "I bought nearly all of my winter clothes here. I feel as if I own one of the local clothing shops," she said. Asked what she misses most about Hawaii now, she said: "I miss the moonlight picnics, the beach parties and the flowers and greenery. At home we can go swimming all year around and wear flowers in our hair. Here the only time we have flowers is in the spring. "ONE OF THE THINGS I miss the most is the water. We're right on the ocean. I'm not used to so much land." She applied to three United States schools because of their schools of medicine. She is preparing for a career in medical technology. She chose KU as a "matter of practical finances." "I think it is worse going from a cool climate into a warm climate than visa versa." she said. "I KNOW I NOTICE the heat much more now when I go home than I used to. In a cool climate' you can always bundle up." She said that the temperature in Honolulu generally went no lower than 65 degrees and reached 90 during the summer. Joneses Were Mixed On Vox's Candidate George W. Jones, Lawrence senor, is Vox Populi's candidate for the Graduate School representative to the All Student Council. George P. Jones, Branson Mo., graduate student, was incorrectly listed in Wednesday's Daily Kansan as Vox's candidate from the Graduate School. Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam—John Milton. L'ACCENT EST FRANCAIS... when you fly the AIR FRANCE way! A trip to the moon? Someday, but not yet!
