Roger English Rites Not Set
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made for Roger M. English, 39, assistant professor of industrial design, who died Wednesday afternoon at Lawrence Memorial Hospital from a pancreas infection complicated by pneumonia.
ROGER M. ENGLISH
Prof. English came to KU in 1953 as an instructor in design and was promoted to assistant professor in 1957. He was in charge of the industrial design major and was active in making industrial and professional design connections for student field trips.
Before coming to KU he was design and technical adviser at the University of Illinois. He lived at 2301 Louisiana St. in Lawrence.
Prof. English received the bachelor of fine arts degree in design from the University of Illinois in 1943. He then worked for several design firms in Chicago, and later had his own design office in Chicago.
He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. I. English of Fairmount, Ill., and a sister also of Fairmount.
Extra Charge On Late Date
The "Wee Hour Fee" will be collected Saturday night as the annual fund-raising project for the Associated Women's Students memorial scholarship.
Closing hours will be extended to 1:30 a.m. Saturday and the women's escorts will contribute money for the additional minutes after closing.
Last year the project was known as "Penny-A-Minute" and escorts were expected to contribute a penny for each minute the couple stayed out later than the normal closing time. This year, however, contributions of more than a penny a minute are urged.
Money collected will go into the fund for the scholarship which will be awarded to one or more girls sometime in May. Last year's recipients were Joyce Klemp, Leavenworth senior, and Kala Mays, Lyons junior.
Alice Gould, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, is chairman of the committee in charge of the project.

Spring Primary Set For Friday
Voting hours in Friday's primary elections will be from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the Elections Committee said Wednesday.
Eight polls will be set up on campus. They will be in Marvin, Lindley, Fraser and Malott halls, the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, the Kansas Union, and the first floor and basement of Strong Hall.
In the primaries, each student may vote for class officers for his own class on presenting his identification card to the poll workers.
In addition, members of campus parties may vote for candidates in their party for their own living districts and in their schools. Party members must present party cards and identification cards at the polls.
One candidate for the All Student Council, Susan Sandifer, Wichita freshman, has withdrawn from the ballot. Miss Sandifer was running in the AGI primary from the School of Fine Arts.
Since Vox Populi, campus party, has only as many candidates running as may be elected from each district and school, none of its members will be eliminated Friday. Several positions in the Allied Greek-Independent primary are also not filled to potential capacity.
The number of ASC seats from each living district is determined by the number of votes cast from the districts in the general election.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the Elections Committee, announced there would be a poll workers' meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas Union. The workers will be briefed on their hours and duties at the polls, Downing said.

IN GREAT SHAPE—Members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity practice on their skit. They are, from left, Roger Stanton, Marysville sophomore; Jerry Graves, St. John freshman; Bill Witt, Garden City junior; Howard Elfeldt, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and Lee Woodard, Wichita senior.
Revue Opens Friday
The work of about 600 KU students will be tested Friday and Saturday nights as the curtain opens on the ninth annual Rock Chalk Revue at Hoch Auditorium.
The annual parody on campus life will poke fun at the feud between certain state officials and KU; the tendency for KU to have a queen for just about everything in the books; the ability of the KU student to get involved in almost every activity except book-learning; the printing prowess of students, and the stark reality of what could happen if too much emphasis is placed on science.
Synopsis of Skits
Synopsis of Skits The following is a short review of each skit.
Tickets for the Saturday night performance of the revue are sold out, but good tickets are still available for Friday night, said Ted Hall. Garden City junior and sales chairman. Hall said tickets would be sold at the door Friday night.
Alpha Chi Omega — A serious problem on campus—how to make
every female student a queen—is the plot of this skit. The candidates are vying for the title of Miss University Boulevard. The selection surprises some contestants until the judges' wives present their reasons.
Chi Omega — This skit concerns a group of students who attend Sasnak University. They are members of Every Activities Klub (EAK). They run the campus since they belong to every club in school. They run into trouble when they try to get a group of lazy hillbillies to join their club.
Kappa Alpha Theta — The skit presents the story of a boy who comes to KU and is lured away from studies and classes by the usual campus vices. He soon sees the error of his ways and like all good students decides to walk the straight and narrow.
Delta Tau Delta — This skit illustrates what can happen when science takes the place of "the better things in life." Emphasis is placed on science and women become a thing of the past. An ex-professor of philosophy finally makes the men see the error in their ways.
Beta Theta Pi — A mixup between Commissar Georgi Dockinski and Murphyesky, head of Providence University is solved by this group. The commissar and the university head can't see eye on financial matters. With the help of a counter spy, a football coach and a student strike, Murphyesky wins the commissar over to his ideals.
Sigma Nu — This is the story of a group of professional students who have become experts in the art of printing fake parking permits. The men have to face a problem that is a serious threat to their very way of life.
Revue Changed
Many changes have taken place in the revue this year. There will be only the six skits instead of eight as in past years. Shirley Andrish, Topeka senior and producer of the revue, said this was to shorten the show because complaints have been made in previous years of its length.
The show will also have three inbetween acts and an octet that will introduce the skits. The master of ceremonies will be John Ball, Kansas City, Kan. senior.
Six judges will attend both performances of the revue and will select the top fraternity and sorority skits.
The KU-Y is sponsor of the show.
Adult Educators Discuss Scientific Advancement
The educator's place in a world of rapid advancement will be the theme of the annual meeting of the Kansas Adult Education Assn. Monday in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room.
"What It Means to Live on a Scientific Frontier," "What Are the Implications to Adult Educators?" and "Why Are We in this Race for the Control of Outer Space?" are the announced themes.
Greetings to the delegates will be given at 8:45 a.m. by Walter M. Arnold, KAEA president and director of the State Board for Vocational Education.
The 9 a.m. speaker will be L Worth Seagondollar, associate professor of physics, and his topic will be "The Role of Science in Today and Tomorrow."
A panel composed of E. R. Zook, manager Lawrence Chamber of Commerce; Arthur D. Weber, Kansas State College; and Hurburt Dalton, representative, District 34, AFLCIO, will discuss "The Role of Kansas in this Scientific Age."
John E. King, president, Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, will be the speaker at a noon luncheon in the Kansas Room of the Union.
Jazz,Religion Are Discussed
President Arnold will preside over a 3:30 p.m. business meeting, the last scheduled meeting of the conference.
A 2.30 p.m. group discussion and conference summary will be led by Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology at KU.
"The Economic System" will be the topic of a speech at 1:45 p.m. by Lynn W. Whiteside, management development director, Boeing Airplane Co.
Jazz is a means of getting out of one's conventional, narrow and inhibited life to meet the religious challenge of living up to the fullest of one's possibilities, Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology, said at a KU-Y campus forum on "Religion and Jazz" Wednesday.
He told aout 20 jazz enthusiasts that there is a relation between any form of art and religion, but the relationship is best shown through jazz. He said that words cannot express man's joys and sorrows nearly so effectively as music.
Prof. Clark, a former jazz musician, has weekly programs on the history of jazz over radio station KANU.
"All music is low brow in origin, and jazz is no more so than any other form of music. Jazz has suffered from 'guilt by association' with fast living and indecency. The only places the early jazz men could play were places of vice because there was no market for their music in respectable places."
