Rock Chalk set for three shows
Featuring a variety of satirical skits, short plays and film strips, Rock Chalk Revue '69 will open at 8 p.m., Thursday in Hoch Auditorium. Performances are also scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
Under the theme, "All the world is a stage," the show consists of four skits presented by campus fraternities and sororities tied together by in-between acts.
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will present "All the Way with KKK" or "Knighty Knight."
In a medieval setting, the skit concerns Peter Pledge who is sent out on a quest to recover the great seal.
The Delta Delta Delta delta sorority-Beta Theta Pi fraternity skit is titled, "All Our World Was the Stage" or "Polgram's Progress."
John Coyle, Coffeyville senior and co-director, described the skit as "a political satire treating the dilemma of a band of outlaws who have been waiting on a stagecoach for 60 years."
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Delta Tau Delta fraternity suggest that "Two Holes are Better than One" or "A Stitch in Times Saves Nine."
Not wanting to reveal the surprise plot, Randy Corbet, Overland Park senior and co-director, described the skit as "simply a good bed-time story."
Exploring the imaginary world of Peter Pan, Pi Beta Phi sorority and Sigma Chi fraternity will present "I'll Never, Never Land" or "Hook, Line, and Twinker."
"The skit is narrated by a 6 foot 2 inch, 200-pound fairy," said Larry Cates, Overland Park junior and co-director of the skit.
A travelogue consisting of separate plays will be interspersed between the skits, Anderson said, adding that several film strips depicting satiric tours to various countries would supplement in-between acts skits.
Linguistics prof says voice prints not valid evidence
Voice prints should not be admissible as evidence in court because of the great possibility of error, said Frances Ingemann, chairman of KU's linguistics department.
Although two voice prints may look alike, they are not necessarily made by the same person, said Ingemann.
Citing an opposing authority, Ingemann said Lawrence Kersta of Voice Print Laboratories, claims he has worked with the police in several hundred cases and has never been proven wrong. Ingemann added that Kersta had a lot of supporting evidence, however, none of it was used in court.
Kersta was a leader in the development of the spectagraph, an instrument used to make voice prints, and to prove voice prints can be used as identification, said Ingemann. Kersta conducted tests with more than 120 persons trying to match their voice prints.

INTERFACE.
It's where people are doing something practical about famine.
For instance, growing cheese from oil. Growing single-cell protein that gives a hungry world new hope of overcoming food shortages. The technique was pioneered in the interface of companies affiliated with Standard Oil Company (New Jersey)).
A curious thing, this interface of ours. It brings together some of the best minds in every engineering, scientific and business discipline.
Creates challenges and insights beyond those of a single company.
Produces practical answers to some of the tough problems of our times.
Like finding a new source of protein And extracting protein from tons of fish
now going to waste. And developing non-toxic fruit sprays and a safe way to eradicate the mosquito. And finding new ways to clean up the air and the seas.
It all happens in our interface. While we're busy supplying more energy than anybody else to help America get where she wants to go.
