The notebooks were submitted, the entries were judged, and the results are in.
The five winning pairs of the 14 KU living organizations who auditioned for the spring Rock Chalk Revue were announced last night during the "In/Out" ceremony at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The "In" groups are Delta Delta Delta sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity; Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity; Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phigma Delta fraternity; Gamma Phi Beta sorority and Delta Chi fraternity; Pi Beta Phi sorority and PhDelta Delta theta fraternity.
"This has been our life for the past three
months," said Amber McGraw, Marshal, Mo,
junior and member of the Alpha Delta
P1/Lambda Ch1 team whose show "Don't
Drink the Water" won a seat in the revue.
The show will run March 12-14 in the Lied Center.
In its 49th year, the revue is one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the U.S. Last year, the revue donated almost $30,000 and 34,000 hours of community service to the United Wav of Douglas County.
"We're really excited," said Jennifer Ricci, Topeka junior and member of Gamma Phi Beta/Delta Chi team, whose show "Masqued Motive" also made it into the revue.
Members of Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Chi, whose show, along with eight others, did not win, consoles themselves after the announcement.
"We had a great time and made good friends," said Carrie Emert, Topeka senior. "It doesn't matter if we lost, we had a great time."
The 14 pairs of living organizations that submitted notebooks for judging included greek

organizations, scholarship halls and residence halls. The groups have been working on their auditions for the show since the start of the semester.
Each group presented a show to a panel of professional judges from the Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City areas, who chose the five winning acts.
Members of those organizations now will begin casting and rehearsing their shows, said John Laing, Shawnee junior and promotions coordinator for the revue advisory board.
Members centered their auditions around the show's theme. "Two Truths and a Lie."
Global warming treaty still in the air
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Just a week before final talks, negotiators are still searching for a formula to limit energy use in China and other developing countries to help fight global warming in the next century.
If they fail, so may the global warming treaty in the U.S. Senate.
Compromise ideas are on the table, including one from Brazil that American diplomats are studying. But the North-South jockeying over the climate treaty is expected to go down to the wire in what one environmentalist called a game of brinkmanship.
Representatives of more than 140 nations gathered yesterday in Kyoto, Japan, for 10 days of talks to strengthen the 1982 climate change treaty, in which industrial nations pledged to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to 1990 levels.
Because those voluntary goals were not being met, the governments decided in 1995 to negotiate mandatory rollbacks. That same year, an authoritative scientific panel warned that if emissions of the heat-trapping gases were not controlled, rising atmospheric temperatures would melt glaciers and raise sea levels and disrupt the global climate.
Any of several major issues in the complex negotiations could stall progress. The proposed mandatory cutbacks, for example, range from holding emissions at 1990 levels by 2012, as favored by the United States, to cutting them by 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2005.
But the North-South issue may be one of the toughest to resolve.
The 1995 decision exempted developing nations from binding targets. It was acknowledged that the industrial world bore a greater responsibility for loading the atmosphere with carbon from burning coal and oil.
But sometime in the next century the fast-developing South is expected to overtake the North in production of greenhouse gases. China's emissions, for example,
are projected to double by 2010. northern industries fear competition from a South free to burn all the cheap coal it wants.
In a resolution last July, the U.S. Senate threatened to withhold ratification of any treaty that did not impose limits on developing countries.
Washington's negotiators proposed requiring developing nations to agree, by 2005, to a timetable for later cutbacks. But strong opposition killed that idea in preliminary talks last month.
As the Kyoto meeting nears, diplomats are bargaining over alternatives in talks at this month's Asia-Pacific conference in Vancouver, British Columbia and in video teleconferences between Washington, D.C., and other world capitals.
The Brazilian proposal for a clean development fund has gained some attention.
"It seems the United States sees possibilities there as a way to get the developing countries into things," said Samoa's U.N. ambassador, Tuilloma Slade, negotiator for island nations
endangered by global warming's rising seas.
Under Brazil's plan, industrial nations that fail to meet the treaty's emission targets would pay fines into a fund to finance clean energy and other projects that cut emissions in the developing world.
Clinton administration support is clear for the draft treaty's Article 10, which allows developing nations to opt into the mandatory emissions control regime. Some wealthier nations, such as South Korea, might choose to take on the obligations because of international pressure.
Bill Hare, who monitors the talks for Greenpeace International, said the South was playing brinkmanship, taking a hard line against universal controls until the United States showed it was serious about taking deeper cuts itself.
"If the quality of the final deal is high enough, then I think there will be a willingness by the developing countries to proceed toward legally binding obligations." Hare said.
