Rock Chalk Revue is the new name and "Black Tie and Tales" is the new theme for a 45-year-old University tradition
Show organizers Wednesday selected the theme for the February variety show, which for the last two years was known as Enoree. The show includes song and dance acts performed by organized campus living groups.
Om 1982, the variety show was called Rock Chalk Reveal and was sponsored by KUY. That year, the tradition received a new sponsorship of Class Officers, and a brand name, Encore.
KU-Y, the student affiliate of the YMCA and YWCA, is no longer active.
Show organizers reverted to the traditional Rock Chalk name this year because of popular opinion, said Dave Smith, executive director of Rock Chalk Revue.
Mark Noller, a business manager for the show, said yesterday that this summer BOCO filed the necessary applications to trademark the show's name with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Secretary of State's office in Topeka. Noller said they had not received answers from either.
The "Black Tie and Tales" theme was chosen, Noller said, because it is flexible. Nine fraternities and sororites were represented at Wednesday's meeting.
LIVING GROUPS MAY submit application notebooks for the show until Nov. 9. A notebook includes a script, music, choreography and set design. Noller said.
Smith said that although the former Rock Chalk Revue was marked with off-color humor, bad jokes and satire, he hoped the new Rock Chalk Revue would promote a better image and attract other non-Greek living organizations.
Iting of gumnemel With a new name, Smith said, he would like to get away from the Greek image the show had attained.
"SOME PEOPLE SAY it's Greeks competing against Greeks, and there is a stigma that it is an entire Greek show," he said. "We would like to see other living organizations submit scripts."
submit scripts.
Noller said the show's organizers had sent out letters to all residence halls and scholarship halls two weeks ago. He said they received one reply from a residence hall and three from scholarship halls
"It they're interested, we'll be more than happy to have them present a script," he said.
Smith said the new Rock Chalk Revue would be more efficient than the traditional one.
"With (the original) Rock Chalk Revue, I think after every year, business managers were accused of embezzling. Well, we have the checks and balances where there is no way embezzling can happen." he said.
LAST YEAR, ENCORE made more than $80,000 in revenue, including expenses, through ticket sales and advertising he had.
"In spring of 1982 there was obviously some need for some changes. The shows were becoming too expensive for other organized living groups to participate in them," he said. "It was costing each group over $100 to have a Greek Greek we were participating, so we decided to make it less expensive to put on the production."
Previously, revenue that was generated was going in many directions. Smith said. Encore's biggest change was that 50 percent of the revenue would go to the Lawrence United Fund so that the money made stayed in the community. Forty percent goes back to participating groups, which will help cut the cost, and 10 percent is kept in working funds for administrative costs the following years.
"Now that it's cheaper, we are hoping that more residence halls will submit scripts," Smith said. "Last year GSP submitted a script. It was very good and just missed getting in."

Family's four KU generations honored
By JULIE COMINE Staff Reporter
David Claflin isn't sure why his family was selected as the 1984 Parents Day family.
"It's a nice honor," the overland Park senior said. "but really, we're just your typically bizarre modern family."
Lynda Claffin Crow and her three children - David and freshman twins, Bradford and Kristen - will be honored tomorrow before the KU-Florida State University football game.
In August, a Parents Day committee and the University of Kansas Alumni Association selected the Claflins because of the family's long connection with KU, said Linda Thompson, director of admissions and a member of the committee.
"We chose this particular family because both sets of grandparents — all down the line — were KU graduates, not just alumni." Thompson said.
ALTHOUGH PARENTS DAY has been a tradition at KU for decades, the University didn't begin singling out a Parents Day event. But in January 2015, associate director of the Alumni Association
"There are so many students who are second, third, and fourth generation at KU!" Pattée said. "We thought it would add
to the Parents Day tradition to recognize a real life family."
r our generations of Clafkins have attended KU. The Clafkin students' grandparents, O Q Claflin and Louse Schmidt Claflin of Toakroft will appear to approve his ceremony in Memorial Stadium.
Before the ceremony, the family will eat brunch at the home of Chancellor Gene A.
SITTING ON A couch in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, where David and Bradford live, the three Claflin children joked about their family's award-winning status.
David said the family's roots in Johnson County probably played a part in the committee's decision. The three Claflin students graduated from Shawnee Mission South High School.
Kristen giggled Bradford shrugged his shoulders. And David talked about the possibility of KU Family of the Year T-shirts.
"No, seriously." David said with a grin. "I heard they're going to present us with a car.
"As I understand it," David said, "this is a way for the University to say thank you to everyone who has attended and supported KU."
None of the Claflin children said they would consider their family a model KU family. But they said they were flattered by the award.
factor - her husband's disappearance during the Vietnam War may have influenced the selection committee
Air Force Maj. Richard A. Claffin went down in a plane in North Vietnam in 1967. He has been listed as missing in action ever since.
Claffin's name will be included on the Vietnam War Memorial, planned to be erected on campus.
LYNDA CLAFLIN CROW said another
"I think the memorial definitely had something to do with the award." Crow said. "The idea of a memorial was unpopular for so long. For a long time it was just shoved under the carpet."
David agreed that his father's disappearance might have influenced the committee. He said that he and his brother and sister were too young to remember their
"REMEMBERING THE PAST is, one thing, and living is another — and that's what we're experts in," he said.
were exposed. Thompson said the main criterion for selecting the Claffins was the family's four generation tie to KU - not their father
"But I think it it's a nice touch to be able to
bown someone, in this way," she said.
The Claflins children said they remembered hearing KU stories as they were growing up.
