Churches Conduct Prayer Services
Today is World Day of Prayer and is being recognized locally by the United Church Women of Lawrence in a series of four services and a prayer vigil and by the Immanuel Lutheran Church with an evening service.
"What Doth the Lord Require" is the theme for this, the 179th annual celebration. Chairman for the United Church Women is Mrs. Dean Harvey. Mrs. O. C. Nation is leading the Lutheran Service.
THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL rememberance planned by the church women started this morning with a 10 a.m. service led by the Rev. Claude Griffith of the First Free Methodist Church.
A second service at noon was conducted by the Rev. Edwin Price.
The traditional service was to be held at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Paul Davis, Plymouth Congregational Church, speaking on this year's theme. The University's Women's Chorale, under the direction of Mrs. Edwin Browne, with Mrs. Thomas Allstock as soloist, was to sing.
ALL OF THE SERVICES are being held in the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont Ave. Three of the services will be conducted in the south chapel of the church and the 2 p.m. service will be in the main sanctuary.
The last service will be this evening at 7:30. The Rev. C. Garnett Herrine, St. Luke African Methodist Episcopal, will be the speaker with the Rev. John Harris, Ninth Street Baptist Church, as worship leader.
Continuing throughout the day will be a prayer vigil which started at 8 this morning and will conclude at 8:30 tonight. It is being held in a small room in the north section of the Congregational Church. All of the churches which are members in the UCW will participate with the time being divided into ten minute segments.
A special World Day of Prayer worship service will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 17th and Vermont, at 7:30 tonight. The service will emphasize prayers on behalf of the people of Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, and Taiwan.

Rock Chalk Opens
CAMPUS PARODY—The dancing girls, cowboys and magicians—the fun and farce of campus parody—of the 1965 Rock Chalk Revue had a public showing for the first time last night before a crowd of 750. In the picture above, Electra and Oedipus Rex love their complexes and "grub up" each other. Kristine Bergman, St. Louis, Mo., junior, plays Electra while Dave Nesbitt, Savannah, Ga., senior, portrays Oedipus Rex. The Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi skit is "Oedipus and Electra" or "That Grecian Kid Stuff." Possibilities for a third-night performance are being considered for next year, according to Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student and Revue director.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Friday. March 5. 1965
The Lawrence Post Office building, 645 New Hampshire St., will be given to the Kansas Board of Regents for educational purposes. The KU
Extension Service hopes to obtain office space in the building along with a state-wide director of extension services.
Extension Hopes for New Home in Old Post Office
Rv Harry Krause
"The Kansas Board of Regents will acquire the old Lawrence Post Office building," J. W. Harrop, chief of the real property division of the General Services Agency (GSA), said today in a telephone interview.
Although plans for the building are not complete, KU's Extension Service is hoping for office space in the building.
Harrop continued, "Under the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's public benefit allowance, the deed to the property will be given outright to the Board of Regents, providing they use the property for educational purposes exclusively."
SEVERAL MONTHS ago, the Kansas Board of Regents placed a proposal with the GSA of the Federal Government which suggested that the Lawrence Post Office be given to the state for educational purposes.
Today, the building was turned over to the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, which will give the building to the Board of Regents.
Some office space in the building is intended for the use of a statewide director of extension services. This post, however, has not been filled yet.
"THE UNIVERSITY Extension Service, which is extremely overcrowded, would like some office space in the building to ease our space problem." Howard Walker, director of extension services, said.
The Extension Service now occupies the old Pi Beta Phi sorority house, 1241 Mississippi. They moved there from Fraser Hall, Blake Annex, and Watson Library in 1963.
The service still has two departments located outside of its main building. The Bureau of Visual Instruction in Bailey Hall, and the Photo and Graphic Arts Bureau in the basement of Watson Library.
University Extension began in
1891 so that the people of the state would have opportunities to hear lectures by professors. The present program which includes correspondence courses, extension classes, an extension library, conferences, institutes, community theatre, and educational films, was organized in 1909.
University extension centers are now located in Garden City, Colby, Wichita, and Kansas City.
Kappa, Sellards Teams To Have Another Chance
When the College Bowl Steering Committee declared the Kappa Kappa Gamma team the winner in a contested early round match with the Hashinger #2 team, they discovered they had to turn back the clock and reschedule a match in the next round which the Hashinger team had already played and won.
As a result of the mixup which grew out of a question used in the first round match which had two possible answers, the Sellards team as well as the Kappa Kappa Gamma team will have another chance. Hashinger #2 had defeated the Sellards team in the second round of play, now invalid due to the mistake in the first round.
The winner of the Sellards-Kappa Kappa Gamma match will be eligible to continue in the third round of
competition which begins at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union. This round marks the second part of the tournament, for it will be double elimination as will all the remaining rounds. The earlier matches were single elimination.
Weather
Saturday will be essentially fair, but don't put away your winter gear because it is still going to be cold. Northerly winds today of 20 to 25 miles per hour lessening tonight will bring temperatures into the 32 to 37 range for today. The low tonight is expected to be around 20.
Campus Politics Change
Vox Says UP Greek-Aimed
Jim Frazier, Topeka fifth year pharmacy student and president of Vox Populi, charged last night that the All Student Council (ASC) was rendered ineffective because of University Party's persistence in identifying with only one segment of the student body.
Frazier, speaking before a Vox party meeting, said, "For all practical purposes, UP is identifying with the Greek system now."
"Vox, on the other hand, has as its guiding principle better student government—not student government represented by one segment of the campus population," he said.
FRAZIER CONTINUED that Vox is interested in honest student government. Referring to a statement made by Roger Wilson, Vox president two years ago, Frazier said the party has not made any deals with anyone trying to influence an election.
Marshall Crowther, third year law student and Vox candidate for student body president last year, addressed a few remarks about the forthcoming election on a non-partisan basis. "It is essential that people take an active interest in their student government because the student body as a whole benefits from an effective ASC."
CROWTHER FELT that apathy on the students' part contributed to the decline of student government. "The student body must take a positive approach to student government to keep the ASC from standing for 'All Social Climbers,'" he said.
Further business concerned the replacing of two seats on the executive council. David Grim, Belton, Mo., senior, was elected the men's large residence hall chairman, and Jacqueline Caesar, St. Louis, Mo., junior, was elected the sorority district chairman.
