Security tighter around Hashinger
Security has been tightened around Hashinger Hall this week after a man was caught hiding in the cafeteria last Tuesday night.

Crane, who says he was admitted by a Hashinger resident, is not a KU student.
HE WAS DISCOVERED by the dormitory security officer through the kitchen window. The officer gave chase through the rear exit and caught Crane outside. Crane was placed under arrest by officers Henry Collins and Harold Huntsinger of Traffic and Security.

Asked about Crane's charge that he was admitted by a Hashinger resident, Mrs. Crawford said, "Anything's possible."

Fantasy to prevail at Rock Chalk Revue
By JOHN HILL
Fantasy seems to be a popular theme for this year's Rock Chalk Revue skits, which feature the imaginary worlds of Santa's Toyshop, Lil Abner's Dogpatch, Alice's Wonderland, and KU's enrollment procedure.
"Rock Chalk '67," to be presented at 8 p.m. April 2-4 in Hoch Auditorium, has no official theme, however.
"I prefer this type of no-theme approach. I think it makes for a better evening, and much more leeway in writing," said Larry Johnson, Overland Park sophomore and co-director for the Sigma Phi Epsilon-Chi Omega skit.
SPOKESMAN FOR all four groups describe skit rehearsals as successful, but time consuming.
"The time I spend on it is any time I'm not in class," commented Wes Payne, Prairie Village junior and co-director for the Alpha Kappa Lambda-Alpha Chi Omega skit.
"The acting crew puts in over three hours a night," said Chip Rouse, Prairie Village sophomore and spokesman for the Delta Chi-Alpha Phi skit. "I'm sure the directors probably put in a lot more."
Everyone involved in Rock Chalk devotes a great deal of time to the project. Larry Johnson, co-director for Sigma Phi Epsilon and Chi Omega explained.
"Directors put in about 10 hours a day, and everyone else works about four hours a night, and all day Saturday and Sunday."
But "all work and no play" is not the case for Rock Chalkers.
"I THINK the funniest thing that happens every year is how much your skit changes just by people ad-libbing," said Wes Payne of Alpha KappaLambda. "The lines that get the biggest laughs in actual performances originate in rehearsal as ad-libs," he said.
Problems, however, are the real purpose of a rehearsal, and "Rock Chalk '67" is no exception.
"Choreography is probably the biggest problem because it takes up so much time," said Larry Johnson in reference to the Sigma Phi Epsilon-Chi Omega skit. "The problem that everyone has in Rock Chalk is that singers are choreographers, too."
"We've had to make some replacements. One guy is a weekend warrior for the Navy and we've had to re-schedule around him." Chip Rouse said.
"Other than that, we haven't had any big problems." Rouse said.
The biggest problem for the Beta Theta Pi-Delta Gamma skit?
"I don't know whether I can separate one and say its the biggest. There are the organizational and creative problems," said Chuck Kraemer, Marysville junior. "When you realize that your script is about half complete and you're out there on the floor working with people, there's an awful lot you didn't count on."
"YOU'RE STILL creating: you're still writing,
literally. For every hour of rehearsal, there's an hour of preparation." Kraemer said.
Creativity extends into the themes and titles, as well as the actual scripts.
wheres the Boobs in Teyland, or Just Clowin' Around" is the title of the Alpha Kappa Lambda-Alpha Chi Omega presentation, spokesman Wes Payne explained.
"It takes place in Toyland, actually in Santa's workshop, and it's about the adventures of a new toy, made by Santa, coming in and being accepted by the other toys." Payne said.
"THE EYES OF Taxes Are Upon You" will be presented by Delta Chi and Alpha Phi, which Chip Rouse describes as being a war-on-poverty satire using LiI Abner characters.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Chi Omega will present "Alice, or Can a KU Co-ed Find Happiness in Wonderland?"
"It's a satire on a large university, like KU. We feel that it will be enjoyed by out-of-town people in the audience as well." Larry Johnson said.
"Table 8—Nirvana in the Wilderness" is the contribution of Beta Theta Pi and Delta Gamma.
"IT'S ABOUT a naive boy and girl, named Wimp and Wimpia, that come to college. They meet Stud, a big man on campus, and Stud shows Wimp the ropes of enrollment with the ulterior motive of getting Wimp's girl. The skit progresses through enrollment and ends at Table 8. I won't tell you what happens to Stud—that's the surprise ending," Kraemer said.
