THAT WAS ENTERTAINMENT—These per ga skit danced, acted and sang their way to formers in the Alpha Kappa Lambda-Chi Ome first place in the 1966 Rock Chalk Revue.
Winorlose all ponder skit prizes
The audience still laughs loudest at the oldest jokes. The winners still scream and cry. The losers still wonder what went wrong.
And losers, winners and audience ask what magic makes a winner.
About "What TNE Means to Me, or, AWS I Love You Best," Alpha Kappa Lambda-Chi Omega, the first place winner of this year's Rock Chalk Revue, one judge said, "it never let up in pace." Another called it a kind of "Guys and Dolls."
THE SECOND PLACE SKIT,
"Joust a Little Beat," Beta Thea Pi-Gamma Phi Beta, was, according to a judge, "very slick. It had a kind of message."

Honorable mention went to the McCollom-Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Chi-Kappa Kappa Gamma skits.
Eight individual trophies were also awarded. Parmlee Bates, New York, N.Y., sophomore of Chi Omega, was named best actress, and Wes Payne, Prairie Village sophomore of Alpha KappaLambda, and Bib Igo, Wichita junior of Beta Theta Pi, tied for best actor.
THE TROPHIES FOR best sets, costumes, choreography, and ensemble singing went to Beta Theta Pi-Gamma Phi Beta. Sigma Chi-Kappa Kappa Gamma took the award for best original song. Best original script went to Alpha Kappa Lambda and Chi Omega.
The Betas and Gamma Phis made a change in their script Saturday night. They dropped a line and substituted the score of the KU-K-State game.
SURFACE SAYS
Panel to hear rule protests
In a prepared statement, Surface said, "The council will seek to promote full and free discussion of matters of concern to the University community, with particular attention to the non-academic aspects of student life.
A permanent council has been created with the power to make recommendations to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe regarding University regulations for student conduct in non-academic areas, Provost James R. Surface announced today.
IT WILL MEET with members of the University community who wish to present views to it, and it will initiate discussions with other individuals or groups on campus whose views is wishes to hear.
The Council on Student Affairs will be composed of six administrative officials, two faculty members and three students. Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, has been appointed chairman of the council.
THE CREATION of the council follows by a week Provost Surface's meeting with student representatives of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Civil Rights Council concerning University control over students' non-academic lives. The newly created committee is apparently intended to be the body to which such student queries will be referred in the future.
"The council also will conduct a continuous study of the University's regulations and standards for student conduct in non-
academic areas. When approved by the chancellor, its recommendations will become official regulations of the University and will be published in the Student Handbook and other appropriate places."
JIM MASTERS. Mission graduate student, said, "We are still trying to clarify in our minds what University policy is. If the committee has only the authority to hear student recommendations, and recommend to the chancellor, then it is not the body for us to deal with."
clinch title Jayhawks clip Cats; Buffs upset Huskers
By Steve Russell and Lee Byrd
Although tonight's KU Colorado game is the last regularly scheduled contest of the season, five Jayhawk seniors may be playing four more. If so, local fans will have a chance to see them again—via television.
A dream came true for Owens and his Jayhawks Saturday night—to say nothing of the surprise provided for Kansas fans.
COLORADO's 95-88 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers added sweet iceing to KU's 68-55 win over rival K-State.
The upset at Boulder enabled Kansas to take the lead in the Big Eight race for the first time this season and assured KU of at least a first place tie out of regular season play.
A win tonight would give the Jayhawks an undisputed Big Eight title, and more important—a shot at a nationally televised game in College Park, Md., next week.
That one is for the national championship.
To get there, KU must win tonight, then win twice again this weekend at the NCAA Midwest Regional tournament at Lubbock, Tex. Colorado, which Saturday dumped Nebraska from the league lead at Boulder, will be no pushover. Neither would be the field at Lubbock, which includes Missouri Valley champion Cincinnati. But KU has been playing a formidable game of basketball.
WITH AN OVERALL record of 21-3, KU is the nation's sixth-ranked team. The Jayhawks have won their last seven games by an average margin of 28 points per game, and many observers feel that the mid-year addition of sophomore Jo Jo White and continued improvement by the other players have made the KU squad the nation's best.
Indeed, Coach Ted Owens' crew may be the best all-around team in KU's illustrious basketball history. While other KU teams have gone to the national finals, they were dependent upon a single "superstar."
In 1533, for example, Clyde Lovelle led the Jayhawks to

High court favors ban on vote test
WASHINGTON — (UPI) —The Supreme Court today upheld the heart of the 1965 Voting Rights act which suspended literacy and other voter qualification tests in six Southern states.
Chief Justice Earl Warren spoke for the court, dismissing a complaint filed by South Carolina against U.S. Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach to test the law.
"Hopefully millions of nonwhite Americans will now be able to participate for the first time on an equal basis in the government under which they live," he said in the historic opinion.
"WE MAY FINALLY look forward to the day when truly 'the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.'"
Warren spoke for the entire court except Justice Hugo L. Black, who agreed with a lot of the 31-page opinion but not all of it.
THE MAIN PART of the law at issue today suspended literacy and other voter qualification tests in South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia. The law applied if less than 50 per cent of the voting age population was registered on Nov. 1, 1964, or voted in the presidential election that month.
Instant Cupid arrives
After five weeks, Datadate matches nearly 80; good pairing predicted

The long-awaited letters began
arriving late last week. Phone
numbers were dialed, and hasty
introductions made. Skepticism
was rampant. It was man against
machine. After five weeks of
preparations, Datadate had begun.
"Nearly 80 persons have been matched by Datatad, KU's programmed matching service," Jim Stephenson, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student and one of the program's founders. said.
HOWEVER, STEPHENSON said the matches should be good
ones because most applicants seem to have been truthful in filling out the information questionnaires.
"Often applicants will make notes clarifying their answers, as we have encouraged them to do," he said. "For example, a girl may answer that she is plain looking, but add a note that she has a good personality."
The questionnaire has been praised by several members of the psychology department as a fair evaluation of a person's interests.
"SOME OF THE people I showed it to felt some of the questions would be difficult for a college-age person to answer—especially the ones dealing with the person's belief in God and man's relation to his environment, but generally it has received a favorable response," Stephenson said.
About 420 questionnaires have been returned to Datadate, and more are expected in the next week. A few more men than women have returned question-
