Rock Chalk Work一
ONE OF THE problems facing the casts of the Rock Chalk skits is how to work a study schedule around a rehearsal schedule for those weeks of school preceding production of the show March 5-6.
"I'm going to stay on the Hill to study from 8:30 in the morning until lunch and go back for more studying until 5 p.m." Kris Berman said. "I'll have to use nights for practice. There will certainly be a lot of nights when I'll be up late studying."
"I'm planning on taking not more than 14 hours next semester," Bill Sampson said. "I'll also try to get all my classes in the morning so I'll have afternoons free for study."
One freshman who is playing a lead is hoping to arrange his class schedule to give himself more study time.

RICH DANIELSON, a veteran Rock Chalk performer from two years ago, said he knew from experience that it was going to be time-consuming.
Leads cast for the Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi production of "Grecian Kid Stuff" are: Electra—Kris Bergman, St. Louis, Mo., junior; Nurse—Suenell McKinley, Ottawa junior; Doctor—Jack Powell, University City, Mo., senior; Oedipus-Dave Nesbitt, Overland Park senior, and Assistant—Russell Calkins, Wichita junior.
Casting for the Kappa Alpha Theta-Kappa Sigma production of "Surfin' Sampson" is not yet completed.
"It seems after we get into rehearsal sessions, every amount of free time we have is for study," Danielson said.
With all the time involved in Rock Chalk rehearsals, what do the cast members expect to gain from their work?
Jack Powell, a two-year performer, said this of the production:

"ROCK CHALK calls for some sacrifice on the part of the cast, but it is also a sort of relaxation from study—instead of playing cards and ping-pong It is both a pastime and a social function; and in my case, it is perhaps related to my future plans."
A $00,000 grant has been given to the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas by the National Science Foundation.
To Beth Heppes, performing in Rock Chalk for the first time, it means a new and different experience.
Geology Institute Gets NSF Grant
The fund will be used to finance a summer institute of science courses for secondary teachers on campus and at the University's field camp at Cannon City, Colo. and will be administered by William M. Merrill, director of the institute.
"I'm going into it with the attitude that it will be fun," Miss Heppes said. "I've usually been on the other end of the show--watching instead of participating."
"The courses on campus will be for teachers with a minimum background in Earth Sciences."

We were wary of
MARTESIA STRIATA!
The object of our concern was a small, wedge-shaped mollusk found in southern waters where we planned to lay telephone cables.
Like others of its genus Martesia (of the family Pholadidae), it is a borer.
Usually it bores into limestone or some other substance to find a home.
Would it—could it—bore into our undersea cables?
At the time, we were testing the performances of proposed dielectric
The testing showed that our cable covering wouldn't be attractive to pholads, and in nearly fifteen years of experience with undersea telephone cables we have peacefully shared the ocean bottom with them.
But we had to be sure we could.In the telephone business, reliability is
everything. We must do all we can to safeguard service from interruption. No threat is too small to ignore, not even that posed by a tiny mollusk.
Right now we've got other problems.
Out in the Dakotas, hungry squirrels and field mice are nibbling on our wires.
We have to run.
