Taste Will Mark Rock Chalk Skits
Audiences at the 1966 Rock Chalk Revue will see a "new" brand of campus humor this year.
Directors of the participating groups predict a show filled with sparkling music, funny dialogue, and spectacular production numbers. Each group is experimenting with scenery, costumes and staging to accent good taste in musical comedy.
THREE WEEKS REMAIN until opening night Mar. 3. Yards of material, planks of wood, and pages of script need the final touch of inspiration to create a polished performance.
"This year's Revue will be one of the best ever presented at KU." Judy Hodge, Raytown senior and Gamma Phi Beta skit director, said.
Sore muscles, swollen feet, and aching backs torture dancers. Insomnia, headaches, and laryngitis plague directors.
"IT REALLY TAKES patience and lots of hard work to put together a good script," Julie Myers, Overland Park senior and Kappa Kappa Gamma director, commented.
Each twenty-minute skit focuses on a particular aspect of production.
Judy Faust, Alpha Omicron Pi director and Memphis, Tenn., junior, says her group emphasizes the play rather than visual effects. "It's humor is universal and not strictly campus-oriented," she said.
The sorority is paired with McCollum Hall in "Where There's a Will There's a Play."
MUSICAL ROUTINES AND
flashy costumes combine to make
the Kappa Kappa Gamma-Sigma Chi skit “a nutty combination of creative writing and excellent staging” according to Julie Myers. The routine is titled "The Saga of Lt. Archibald Lunch or, How to Survive a Sand Dune Party."
TNEs and AWSers are involved in an age-old college conflict: to study or to party, in the Chi Omega-Alpha Kappa Lambda skit.
Marnie Mohs, Overland Park junior and director, said the rivalry makes the performers try harder.

RIVALRY BETWEEN the two groups is the plot line in the skit, "What TNE Means to Me or, AWS, I Love You Best."
One cast member in the Gamma Phi Beta-Beta Theta Pi skit is learning to ride a unicycle. "Joust a Little Beat" is a satire on the American college male.
