Tom Moore, executive secretor of the KU-Y, said the theme
of this year's revue is "That's entertainment,' a non-theme theme."
"THE STUDENTS are free to do anything entertaining without being tied to a set category for the skits," Moore said.
Will Price, Wichita junior and house manager, said "It's working out well with a good variety of skits."
Judging of skits will be Friday and Saturday. Awards will be presented at the Saturday performance.
Tickets for the Thursday night performance are $1.50 and $1. Friday and Saturday night tickets are $2 and $1.50.
A number of possible Asian influenza cases among KU students have been reported. Dr. Raymond Schwegler, acting director of Watkins Hospital, said today.
ASIAN FLU MAY HAVE HIT OREAD
The cases, all admitted to the hospital, exhibit influenza-like symptoms. Positive identification of the infecting virus will take up to a week.
Hospital admissions have doubled in the last two days, Schwegler said. Most of the cases are colds, respiratory infections, and cases resembling Asian influenza. Dr. Schwegler declined to blame Asian influenza specifically, but said there is a good possibility of the disease being present in the hospital.
Nkrumah's rule ended by coup
LAGOS, Nigeria — (UPI) — The army today announced the overthrow of the strongman regime of President Kwame Nkrumah while he was on a Viet Nam peace mission in Peking. The rebel-below Ghana radio said Nkrumah was ousted for abuse of power that led to economic chaos.
Hours after the pre-dawn coup was announced by the radio, Nkrumah's personal bodyguard was reported fighting rebel forces in the capital city of Accra.
An afternoon broadcast said that a National Liberation Council had assumed power in the West African state. It charged Nkrumah, who enjoyed being addressed as "The Redeemer," had run the country as "his own personal property" and brought Ghana "to the brink of national bankruptcy.
THE BROADCAST pledged the council would honor all of Ghana's international commitments, including membership in the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the United Nations and appealed to the people of Ghana for support.
The American-educated Nkrumah, 56, who attended Pennsylvania's Lincoln University and the university of Pennsylvania in the 1930s, ruled Ghana and its 7.2 million population virtually as a dictator since 1957. But he lived in fear of assassination. There were at least two attempts on his life in recent years.

'Gripe' draws only one
The Committee Evaluation Board (CEB), reviewing the All Student Council (ASC) committee system, was attended by only one student last night in the Kansas Union.
No agreement was reached between the two.
Tom Rader, Greensburg sophomore and chairman of the CEB, said that he had expected a slightly larger turnout, but that attendance was indicative of the interest in student government.
Olsen said he could not speak for SDS as such, but for his own views and what SDS has been doing on campus. He said he saw no need for a "structured organization of representatives" such as the ASC, and that a better approach would be to talk with students about their problems and stir up interest.
The one outside participant was Don Olsen, La Mesa, Cal. sophomore, and a member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). He said he came to hear some interested students talk and to get some ideas on student opinion on subjects which he and SDS are interested.
Query will take shape at SDS meeting tonight

The questionnaire to be presented to Provost James R. Surface Friday will take its final form at the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas Union.
Representatives of several campus organizations will attend the SDS meeting and submit questions for the questionnaire.
"THIS IS NOT just an SDS project; it is more a group of concerned students working within an SDS framework," said Jim Masters, Mission graduate student and SDS member.
"There has been talk all over the campus on these questions. Hopefully, we will ask questions that everybody has an interest in," he said.
A GROUP OF STUDENTS will present the questionnaire to Provost Surface. Masters said that he does not expect the meeting to be a long one.
Masters said he expects the questions to center around the "in loco parentis" issue, which touches on almost every aspect of University policy concerning the student's non-academic life.
"It probably won't take more than 10 or 15 minutes. We just want to give him the list and answer his immediate questions," he said.
The group will again meet with Provost Surface on Tuesday to discuss his reaction to the questionnaire.
"We will try to make the questions as specific as possible, so that we can get at the roots of University policy. Most of them should only require two or three sentence answers. The Provost
ought to be able to return them to us on Tuesday," Masters said.
ANOTHER SDS member said he hopes Provost Surface will refer the issues to the Student Personnel Committee. "We hope the Student Personnel Committee will be given the authority to define University policy in response to our questions," Don Olson, La Mesa, Calif., sophomore and SDS member, said.
CITY TO TEST ALERT SIRENS ON SATURDAY
A test of the Emergency Disaster System for Lawrence will take place on Saturday between 11:50 a.m. and 12 noon, Lawrence Police Chief William Troelstrup announced today.
"We shall push hard for Surface to give this authority to the council. Normally, it rests only with the Chancellor," he continued.
The system will be used to warn the public of any emergency, such as a tornado.
At the same time the police are testing their sirens, the county civil defense organization will test the Haskell Institute siren.
"We are trying to form an administrative channel that students can go to in order to directly get administration rules and policies," he said. Olson said he expects the SDS to take this course of action, but that he cannot officially speak for the group until after tonight's meeting.
MASTERS DENIED any knowledge of intentions to have the questions referred to the Student Personnel Committee. "Frankly, I don't care if some secretary from the Registrar's office gives us the answers, as long as University policy is stated officially," he said.
"Our only purpose is to get the administration on record as to what their policy is," he added.
Lebanon couphas support
BEIRUT, Lebanon — (UPI) — Damascus Radio today announced partial lifting of the curfew in Syria and claimed widespread support for the coup that ousted President Amin Hafez despite reports of "fierce clashes" in Aleppo, his hometown.
Damascus Radio implied the last major resistance to the revolt Wednesday had collapsed, but Cairo's Middle East News Agency (MENA) said fighting had erupted in Aleppo between army and national guard factions supporting Hafez and leftwing army officers of Syria's ruling Baath Party who engineered the coup.
All communications with Syria have been cut since the dawn coup Wednesday that toppled Hafez and Premier Salah Bitar.
Hafez and Bitar were in jail awaiting trial, according to Damascus Radio. Their whereabouts remained unknown.
DAMASCUS Radio also said cables of support had been sent by army units in the northern cities of Homsun Kama, and Lakatiya and the important southern army command near the Israeli border.
Campus enthusiasm beains for weekend
One of the effigies was west of the Information Booth, one on top of the Chi Omega fountain, and one in front of Snow Hall. "Hairss the Hairy Huskers" signs are cropping up all over the Hill, and some living groups are putting up their own signs.
With three Cornhusker effigies hanging over the KU campus, "Beat Nebraska Week" is here.
A SALVAGED car, decorated to represent Nebraska, will be available all day Friday in front of Flint Hall. and a pep rally is scheduled at 10:20

a. m. with Ted Owens, KU basketball coach taking the first swing with a sledge hammer at the car.
At Saturday's game, Frosh Hawks and "The Mad Jayhawker" will reintroduce an old pep song, "Do Down the Field for Kansas."
The song was written in the 1940's by William Koester, a KU student. Koester will attend the game in order
to hear the song played during the pre-game ceremonies.
"BEAT NEBRASKA Week" was declared at the request of the All Student Council Traditions Committee.
The proclamation by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe reads in part: "Whereas this game may decide the Big Eight Conference Championship, I hereby proclaim the six days ending Saturday
at midnight as 'Beat Nebraska Week' at the University of Kansas."
"The Traditions Committee wants to build up spirit on campus It's a big game, and we've got a great team," said Jim Prager, Annandale, Va., junior and chairman of the committee.
WIBW, CHANNEL 13 of Topeka will televise the Kansas-Nebraska game live on Saturday night, it was announced Wednesday.
Additional stations carrying the telecast from Allen Field House will be released later.
