Winners celebrate with champagne Rock Chalk finalists announced
By SUZANNE BROWN
Staff Reporter
Amid shouts of triumph and the popping of champagne corks, 10 fraternities and sororites last night celebrated their victory in the finals for Rock Chalk Revue, a musical variety show in February.
“This makes it worth it,” Jennifer Gibbons, Prairie Village senior, said after hugging other members of Alpha Gamma Delta. Her sorrowly teamed with the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity to win a spot in Rock Springs with a kit titled, “A Knight in Shining Amour.”
The five fraternities and five sororities were chosen from among 21 living groups who submitted scripts to the 35th Rock Chalk League in July. It was St. The Eldridge House, 20, Massachusetts St.
The winners were: Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta
THE GROUPS WILL cast their productions in the next two weeks and begin rehearsals in Hoch Auditorium in January, with executive director of Rock Chalk Revue.
and Sigma Nu. Alpha Omicron Pi and Alpha Kappa Lambda Gamma Phi Beta and Delta
The theme of next year's production is "Black Tie and Tales," Smith said. Entries will be announced on Monday.
At the meeting last night, students set down champagne glasses and gripped each other as the winners were called. Hashinger Hall, the only living group outside of fraternities and sororites to submit a script, was not selected as one of the finalists.
After the chosen names were read above shouts and cheers, losing group members quickly left, while winners stayed to congratulate each other.
DAN DECKER, WICHTA senior, was one of the Beta Theta Pi members who remained
to celebrate. He said his group had been working on his script, "Thai-mi for that," two months later.
"No matter how hard you try to delegate
he said, "it all comes down to the last two
weeks."
Fifty percent of the show's proceeds will go to the Lawrence United Fund. Forty percent is divided among the living groups to pay for the program; forty percent is placed in a fund for next year's show.
Last year, the production known as "Encore," which replaced Rock Chalk Revue for two years, made about $9,500 for United Fund. Smith said.
Rock Chalk Revue, sponsored for 34 years by the KU-Y, was taken over in 1883 by the Board of Class Officers. BOCO changed the name of the production to Encore.
this year, Smith said. BOCO filed a state servicemark, similar to a trademark, for the right to use the original name.
Karen Ketchum, Tonganoxie freshman; Mary Jo Kean, freshman, are packed and ready to head home. They loaded Lenexa freshman; and Kelly Davis, Overland Park their car in front of McCollum Residence Hall last night.

Paper chase again leads to libraries
Students rushing to beat the crunch as term nears end
By ERIKA BLACKSHER Staff Reporter
Swarming campus libraries, students have begun their research. Some handle the paper calmly and skillfully. Others, easily detected by the sweat on their forehead, panic at the thought of a 10-, 20- or even 30-naper paper.
"It's amazing the number of people who are graduating this semester and have never been in here before now," said Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior and a clerk at Watson Library who helps students find materials and use machines.
"If you show somebody once, you hope you won't have to show them again," she said. "That's the theory, but not the practice, unfortunately."
Students ask questions ranging from how to use the film readers to where the images are taken.
It's that time of the semester again.
Students who have not stepped foot in Watson Library are reluctantly entering the ominous, five-story building to do research for their dreaded . . term papers.
People should take advantage of the free library tours given throughout the semester so they would be more familiar with the library, she said.
FIELDING THE REPEATIVE questions is a part of the job, but after a while it can get frustrating, said Angela Jirk, a research associate at the periodicals desk in Watson Library.
But the term paper crunch isn't complicated only by people who are unfamiliar with the library. The increase in the number of students using the facilities causes a back up of books and territories that need to be shelved, friar said.
"We can't keep up," she said.
"It gets worse and worse," she said,
"and the books pile up to incredible heights."
EVALYN BARGER GELHAUS, circulation desk supervisor, said that the number of returned books doubled from 8,000 in September to 16,000 in October and probably would keep increasing.
Kim Randolph, St. Joseph, Mo. junior,
said she learned her lesson with term
parent.
Randolph now organizes her time by setting up a schedule to follow for the semester. She already has set up an appointment with a typist for her political science paper that is due in about three weeks.
"The paper was my first and my worst," she said. She did the 15-page paper in four days for a speech class. "It was not the route to go."
SETTING UP AN early appointment with a professional typist may be a good idea for students who plan to pay for typing expertise.
Joan Davies, owner and manager for Letter Perfect, 844 Illinois St., said her business has been booming for the past year. She will get better after Thanksgiving break.
"I turn away more than I work for," she said, "probably two times as many."
salt, probably two times as mild.
She said it was fairly easy to make £100 a day from people who need their papers in a rush.
Davies, who charges by the line, can finish a game as an observer from 12 to 24 hours. If he goes wrong, he pays.
Starting early and breaking the term paper up into small parts are keys to getting it done well and on time, said Sara Berman, the director of the student assistance center.
