Revue Auditions Tonight
Auditions for performers in between-act skits of the 1965 Rock Chalk Revue are scheduled for 7 p.m. today in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student and producer, said any student may attend the tryouts. He said those who plan to audition should bring their own material.
The Rock Chalk staff is looking for singers, dancers, a master of ceremonies and specialty acts.
Members of the staff will judge the auditions. A pianist will be available for those who need an accompanist, Caston said.
Police Course Begins
Forty Kansans are enrolled in a short course in Supervision of Police Personnel here Jan.18-29.
The two weeks of intensive instruction are based on the premise that police work is a business with the profit or loss measured in services to the public rather than dollars and cents, according to James S. Kline, coordinator of police training at KU.
The course was developed by the Traffic Institute of Northwestern University, which will supply the faculty.
All classes will be in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union.
Foreign Service Speaker
Theodore Wertime, veteran United States foreign service officer and now editor of the Voice of America's "Arts and Science Forum," will give a public lecture at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The "Arts and Science Forum" is the top effort of the Voice of America for distilling American thought of the 20th century for foreign audiences. It deals with the arts, humanities, and the sciences. Its articles are broadcast in many languages and are published in hardback and paperback book form for distribution abroad and in the United States.
His subject will be "Explaining the United States to the World."
Mr. Wertime's lecture next Wednesday is jointly sponsored by the School of Fine Arts and the School of Journalism.
BESGA Bill Presented
A bill incorporating the constitution of the Big Eight Student Government Association into the constitution of the Associated Students of KU was presented to the All Student Council Tuesday.
The proposed bill is an official acceptance of the association, Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, said.
By incorporating it into the KU constitution, withdrawal from the organization is also made easy, he said, should it become desirable.
Sponsors of the bill are Bill Robinson, Great Bend sophomore (Vox—men's large residence halls), and Schrey (Vox—men's small residence halls).
Robinson has been appointed KU coordinator for the BESGA. The bill will be considered at the next regular ASC meeting.
Experimental Course Taught
An experimental course, physical geology, is being taught at KU this year.
This course is designed as a section for students who have had both chemistry and physics at the high school or college level.
Anderson said he was satisfied with the results of the course and that students show an ability to do work beyond the ability of beginning students.
Lights for Parking
"The course is not intended to be an honors course," said Earl Anderson, instructor of the course, but is offered to take advantage of the background some students have had.
He also pointed out that this is one of very few similar courses in the country.
Lawton said, however, the administration believes there is increasing need for lights because more students use the area since the closing of interior campus parking zones until 11 p.m.
Keith Lawton, vice chancellor in charge of operations, said no immediate action to light parking zone Y at night will be taken.
"The project is large enough that it has to be budgeted and approved." Lawton said. If the plan is approved for the upcoming fiscal period, he believes work could begin next summer.
Lawton pointed out that, meanwhile, planning for the lighting of the zone is going on. The planners are paying special attention to the location of the lot in a residential section. The lighting is being planned to produce the least amount of inconvenience to the neighboring residences.
The everyday usefulness of engineering can be illustrated by any number of household appliances.
Engineering Exhibits Take Shape
"Engineering Comes to Lite" will be the theme of the Engineering Exposition for 1965. The exposition will begin Friday, April 16th, and will end Saturday night, April 17.
Richard Coleman, Kansas City senior, is the chairman of the 1965 KU Engineering Exhibition, to be in Allen Field House.
COLEMAN SAID individual groups of students are planning exhibits. The amount of time spent on any project will depend on the elaborateness of the project, Coleman said.
Lincoln's Killer Sparked Inaugural
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—It's been reported but never confirmed that among the guests at Lincoln's second inaugural ball was a graceful, handsome man who had eyes for the ladies and vice versa.
His name was John Wilkes Booth.
A banquet will be the evening of April 17 in the Kansas Union. The speaker will be Charles Kimball president of the Midwest Research Institute.
Coleman said several committee chairmen have been selected. The publicity chairman is Sam Love, Pittsburg junior; the finance chairman is Eugene Bollin, Raytown, Mo., junior; Harold Marshall, Hollidaysbury freshman, is the transportation chairman; Billy W. Beyers, Overland
Park senior, is the banquet chairman.
Faculty advisors for the exhibition include Howard Rust, instructor of metal engraving; William Lucas, assistant instructor of architecture; and Lt. Col. Gerald E. Hallas, instructor of air science.
Coleman said several companies have been asked to set up exhibits in Allen Field House for the exhibition, but nothing has been definitively planned.
