Bus Committee Has 5 Alternatives
One of five proposed plans will be selected Wednesday in hopes of continuing Rapid Transit, Inc., bus service in Lawrence. The bus advisory committee will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce.
The committee met Friday night to discuss possibilities for solving the problem which would affect approximately 3,000 persons in Lawrence, including nearly 500 at KU.
Rapid Transit announced two weeks ago that the bus service will be discontinued June 8 due to financial difficulties.
2. Encouraging another private firm or agency to take over the bus system.
The five possible solutions as outlined at the meeting by Mayor John Weatherwax are:
1. Working out some temporary agreement with the bus company, giving it a guarantee against loss for one year.
3. Using a form of subsidy from merchants or from the city to make up the firm's losses.
4. Taking over principal ownership of the bus company. (This would require approval of Lawrence voters.)
5. Allowing bus service to end.
"The major solution under consideration at this time is the first until a workable solution can be decided on," "E. R. Zook, committee chairman, said today."
"This thing is up to the people of Lawrence and it all depends on how badly they want the service. The only thing we can do is arrive at a way to solve it, then the citizens must do the rest," he said.
At the meeting Friday it was disclosed by officials of Rapid Transit that the KU and Campus Express service is the only route operating at a profit. In five years, gross receipts have dropped from $109,000 to $73,000.
Bigger Relays Create Local Housing Problem
The KU Relays have been expanded so much that Lawrence housing facilities are nearly filled and there are approximately 1,000 high school and college athletes not yet assigned quarters.
"We are trying our best to get the athletes to stay in surrounding towns," said Wayne Replogle, assistant football coach and chairman of the housing committee for the Relays.
From 2,000 to 2,500 high school athletes are expected, according to Martin Hanna, Winfield senior and student cochairman of the Relays.
Mr. Replogle said he expects from 600 to 800 high school athletes who have not yet been assigned housing.
Will Use Robinson
"We will use Robinson Gym and Annex for the high school athletes. We expect to put between 400 and 500 there with the remainder staying in private homes," he said.
"About 100 college athletes from 10 or 12 schools have not been assigned. We will have to find private quarters for most of them.
"In the past, most of the college athletes stayed in Oread and McCook halls. However, this year the two halls are pretty well filled and only a few college athletes will be able to stay there," he said.
Banquet Friday
Banquet Friday About 100 high school athletes will be guests of honor at a banquet
Friday night where they will hear Dr. Shane McCarthy, executive director of President Eisenhower's Council on Youth Fitness.
About 700 other persons,including visiting coaches, officials and college athletes will be present in the Student Union Ballroom for this new addition to the KU Relays program.
After the talk, movies of KU sports highlights will be shown, followed by a social hour to give the high school athletes a chance to meet KU letter winners and members of the K-Club, said Wally Strauch, Elmhurst, Ill., junior and president of the K-Club.
New Host Committee
To keep the expected overflowing crowd informed of the happenings, a host committee, new this year, will set up an information and reception booth in the Student Union.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant for operations, is the chairman. Joie L. Stapleton, associate professor of physical education, and Frank R. Burge, director of the Student Union, are committee members.
'Boston Betsy' And 'Pie-Eyed Piper' Win Firsts In Revue
After a 3-hour long Rock Chalk Revue, a very tired but suspenseful audience listened to Charles Oldfather Jr., associate professor of law, play and sing folk songs while judges decided which skits would take first place in the production Saturday night.
Finally about 20 minutes after the final curtain, judges announced the winners to be Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, with "Boston Betsy Goes West" in the women's division, and Delta Upsilon fraternity with "The Remarkable Tale of the Pie-Eyed Piper" in the men's divison.
Chi Omega sorority with "The Rangeechanger," and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity with "The Egyptian Way, placed second. Alpha Chi Omega sorority, Beta Theta fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and Corbin Hall, freshman dormitory for women, received honorable mention.
There was only one point between the first and second place winners in
Mostly cloudy through Tuesday with occasional light rain or drizzle east and central this afternoon. Widely scattered light showers east and south tonight and extreme southeast portion Tuesday.

the men's division of Rock Chalk. Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and Delta Upsilon fraternity were close in audience appeal as well as in judging.
The narrator, Hubert Dye, Wichita graduate student, with his English accent, Bill Dye, Wichita senior, the Noble Dean, and Lynn Miller, Dodge City sophomore, the Pie-Eyed Piper capitated the audenced with their antics of getting rid of those "damned athletes." This is the first year Delta Upson has appeared in the Rock Chalk Revue.
The skit by Delta Upsilon was a play on the age-old story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The piper, instead of playing his instrument to rid the town of mice, used it to rid the University of athletes.
Second place winner, Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, presented an excellent play on present-day state politics, "The Egyptian Way." While the skit was obviously written for John Ball, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore who was the "Pharaoh," it was a truly professional production written and directed with foresight.
The winning skit in the women's division, presented by Kappa Alpha Theta, brought "Boston Betsy," a girl from "back East," to Kansas. The Kahans did a good job of shaping her up into a good Kansas Jayhawk.
