TWO DUDES — Robert Stone, Hutchinson freshman, seems to be a dude when it comes to a washing machine; the magazine "Dude" is
more interesting than the sloshing of suds around his feet. The scene of this aquatic tragedy is Templin Hall.

Integrated Skits For Revue Definite
The producer of this year's Rock Chalk Revue announced today that the KU-Y advisory board to the revue has approved plans to integrate sorority-fraternity skits.
Roger D. Stanton, Marysville senior and revue producer, said:
"Although separate skits were unique in that we were the only university in the midwest using them,we feel that integration is a step forward. The quality of the Rock Chalk Revue should be improved."
Stanton explained that integrated skits would give more students a chance to participate in the show. There will be only five skits presented, but ten houses will be able to participate (five sororities and five fraternities).
In past years six skits were presented with three fraternities and three sororites participating.

"This is a step that has been used by all the major universities we have contacted in the Midwest. They have found that the integration has improved the quality of their shows," Stanton said.
Stanton said there will be a meeting of the houses interested in giving skits this Thursday. During the meeting a bidding system, which will be used to pair up the sororities and fraternities, will be explained.
Under the system each house will present a list of five houses they wish to work with. The lists will then be matched to establish which sorority and fraternity will work together.
Stanton said skits will still be aimed at campus humor and originality.

Beverley M. Baird, Topeka city director; John L. Patton, Kansas City, senior vice president; Michael Hoover, Manhattan sophomore continuity director; Kary Crumily, St. Francis

Young Demos Lose State Jobs
By Jane Boyd
The president of the Kansas Young Democrats, who reportedly caused three Washburn University students to lose their state employment by supporting him, today denied that he or the men openly oppose Gov. George Docking.
The United Press International reported from Topeka the three had been "vocal in their opposition to Gov. George Docking and in their support of Robert Brock of Topeka, president of the Kansas Young Democrats, who has publicly criticized Docking."
Brock told the Daily Kansan:
"I am not a foe of Gov. Docking, announced or unannounced. The statement of the United Press was unfair, untrue and a lie."
In June, however, Brock criticized Gov. Docking in a news story for "allowing Don Hewitt to influence him unduly on party patronage."
Hewitt is a Kansas City Precinct Committeeman and a close friend of Gov. Docking.
Edward Graham, Belleville, third-year law and president of the University of Kansas Young Demoerats Club said, "I think it (the firing) is unfortunate."
Brock will speak tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the courtroom of Green Hall for the opening meeting of the Young Democrats.
His subject will be Democratic Political Organization.
Graham refused to comment further because he "did not know the relative merits of the situation."
"We are members of the Kansas Young Democrats of which Brock is president and in this respect we support him."
Asked if the KU Young Demerats support Brock, Graham said:
The three students, David Seager and John Lang, both of Arkansas City and Paul Pendergast of Atchison, all law students at Washburn University, said they would make no comment.
Seager was fired under the provisions of the Hatch Act which restricts political activities of employees of state departments which receive federal funds. The employers of the others refused to comment.
Seager was employed with the State Motor Vehicle Department. Lang and Pendergast were working for the State Department of Revenue.
Seager had been warned by Jack B. Jenkins, director of the State Motor Vehicle Department against "playing around in politics."
John E. Kirchner, director of the
State Department of Revenue would not say why he dismissed Pendergast and Lang other than, "I was dissatisfied with them for various reasons.
KBI Helps Local Police on Field House Burglary
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has stepped into the $4,000 Allen Field House burglary which has baffled local police.
The only break in the case was the discovery of some fresh fingerprints on the metal boxes from which the money was taken.
Richard Stanwix, city police detective, and E.W. Fenstemaker, campus patrolman, checked the vault and safe in the athletic department business office for fingerprints.
"We lifted a few prints that looked like they were fresh," Mr. Stanwix said.
"A lot of the prints were old ones, however. It'll take a while to compare them and check them out," he said.
Neither the door to the safe nor the vault showed signs of forebice entry. Both were secured by combination locks.
The money was taken sometime between Saturday evening and Monday morning. Most of the $4,000 to $6,000 taken was money from tickets to the KU-Boston U. football game Saturday.
Earl Falkenstein, athletic department business manager, said part of the money is covered by insurance
"We don't know yet how much of our insurance coverage is going to apply," he said.
He said he did not know if the insurance company is going to investigate the crime.
"But I presume they will before they pay off," he said.
In a statement this morning, Joseph Skillman, chief of campus police, said:
"The investigation is continuing. Right now we don't have a suspect, but we hope to turn up something soon."
