Caston said other advantages to announcing a general theme early are: more time for revision and polishing without consuming any more study time; to allow the new staff to interview with specific ideas to offer on advertising, programs, publicity,
Rock Chalk Theme in'65 Is 'Fractured Flickers'
"Fractured Flickers," using motion pictures as the vehicle to carry the "message," will be the theme of next year's Rock Chalk Revue.
ye's Rock Chalk
Hoite Caston, Independence senior and the new producer of the revue, announced the theme at the Rock Chalk recognition dinner for this year's staff last Sunday night.
"Rock Chalk has improved each year but this will be another experiment to see if more can be done. We don't want to preserve a status quo with good, but used, ideas only."
"THE MAIN ADVANTAGE will be that individuals can start thinking and looking for possible ideas, without committing their skit to a particular movie. We will accept no definite movie titles or house pairings until a deadline date to be set next fall." Caston said.
A lengthy discussion of the pros and cons of announcing the theme early preceded Caston's suggestion of "Fractured Flickers." It was accepted by the old staff.
production and in-between segments to fit around the general theme, and to generate more interest among all living groups by suggesting early thought on a general theme.
"It would be a definite disadvantage to work with any particular movie in mind or plan details such as music because of duplications arising. The specific topics and pairings should not be considered until the fall deadlines," Caston advised.
"WE ARE NOT SETTING a precedent by this decision; we are simply trying to give the students an advantage of time to think about ideas to improve the quality of their re-ve."
Caston said he did not foresee any problem of professional help or advice during the summer. He stressed that he trusted the integrity of interested students and the belief that satisfactions comes from using their own material and creative work."
Caston said several of the ideas for next year had been agreed upon by Bill Henry, Leawood sophomore and business manager, and by the KU-Y executive board. These include a closer coordination with the participating groups and more detailed hints in the director's guide on writing and constructing a skit.

Intelligentsia Ready for Finals
By Nancy Schroeter
Finals. Oh, finals.
With a grade average of 2.49 in mechanical engineering, Harry Gibson, Kansas City senior, said that he plays ping-pong. "My roommate and I have our own ping-pong tournament during final week," Gibson said. He also said that he did not make extensive outlines to prepare for studying but only reviewed his notes and textbooks.
The time is soon coming of study, study, study. But what do the more intelligent of our group do during final week? Do they study or do they play? And just how do they prepare for finals?
"I GO HOME and study awfully hard." Mary Baumgartner, Overland Park senior, explained. With 2.7 overall grade point average, Miss Baumgartner, a German major, said that she often cut out her class notes and organized them to relax and avoid studying.
Frank (Bucky) Thompson, Lawrence senior, has a different approach to final week: "I sleep about 12 hours a night." A Summerfield scholar with a 2.88 grade point average, Thompson said that, when it came to studying, if a student did not know the material by final week, he might as well forget it. Thompson usually studies by going back over his notes before the final.
"Mainly I just read over notes and that's just about it," Bruce Hall, Coffeyville senior, said. With a 2.85 overall grade average, Hall finds that he usually studies during final week. The exception: This coming final week, Hall said that he planned to go to the movies because he was a "big fan of James Bond."
Besides studying students somehow seem to find time to relax during final week. Most students play bridge, go to movies, talk, take part in sports, and go out on dates.
Strange things happen to some students during final week. One junior recalled the first time she faced final week. The student said that after studying so hard for two days she and her roommates went out of the dormitory screaming and rolled in the snow. Others have read magazines, played records, watched TV, gone to the sand-bar, taken naps, learned how to smoke, and packed to go home during final week to relieve their minds of the burden of studying.
WANDERING AROUND in residence halls and Greek houses also seems to be quite a common way to relax. Some students "just vegetate' after a long session of studying.
Castro On Alert For New Revolt
MIAMI—(UPI)—Tension gripped Cuba today and Premier Fidel Castro's military guard was up to ward off a possible new attempt to overthrow his Communist regime.
One woman student said that her final week was spent eating oranges. Last final week she reported that she ate three dozen.
An announcement was expected anytime that Cuban exile leader Manuel Ray, reported to be considered by Castro as possibly his most dangerous enemy, had arrived in his homeland to take charge of anti-Castro operations by his Cuban revolutionary junta (JURE).
Ray has promised to return to Cuba by tomorrow, the 62nd anniversary of the island's independence from Spain.
Castro was apparently anxiously waiting for some sign of Ray, and possibly another exile leader, Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, who was at the helm of an anti-Castro plot called "Plan Omega."
The Communist controlled island was on a maximum alert with troop and tank movements reported by newly arrived refugees and also government radio network messages monitored here by UPI. Dispatches from Havana also revealed a state of military mo-
Cuban industry minister Ernesto (Che) Guevara also disclosed the Castro regime is ready militarily. He said "something" was expected from the exiles, but gave assurances over Havana radio that "we know how to handle it."
Guevara's admission was accompanied by a new warning from the Soviet ambassador in Havana, Alexander Alexiev, that "the imperialists are mistaken if they believe they are going to act with impunity against Cuba."
Alexiev, in a statement broadcast over Havana radio, reiterated Moscow's pledge to "stand by" Castro.
Cambodia Dispute Charged to U.S.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI)—Russia charged today that the United States sent the military forces of South Viet Nam into action against Cambodia.
Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko made the charge in opposing an invitation to Viet Nam to participate in a Security Council debate on Cambodian charges of aggression by it and the United States. The council overrode the Soviet objections by a 9-2 vote, Russia and Czechoslovakia voting against an invitation to Viet Nam, which is not a U.N. member.
"It is the American militarists who are guiding all the operations of the South Vietnamese troops and sent them against the Cambodian people," Fedorenko said.
He was supported by Cambodian Ambassador Voeunsai Som who said Americans participated in raids by Vietnamese armored forces against villages near the frontier of Cambodia and Viet Nam. Dispatches from Viet Nam indicated that the Vietnamese troops were in hot pursuit of Communist Viet Cong guerrillas seeking sanctuary across the border.
U. S. Ambassador Charles W. Yost denied American officers accompanied a Vietnamese armored force in a border raid last week.
"Investigation has shown that no American personnel crossed into Cambodian territory," Yost told the Security Council. "Although an American adviser was accompanying the Viet forces on May 7 and 8, he was not in the group which crossed into Cambodian territory."
Teachers in 2 Cities Strike for More Pay
Bulletin
SALT LAKE CITY—(UPI)—Utah's public school teachers voted overwhelmingly today to end their two-day walkout and return to their classrooms tomorrow.
Utah's 11,000 public school teachers took their strike into its second day today under threat of court action. In East St. Louis, Ill., high school seniors picketed their striking teachers.
Both the Utah and East St. Louis teachers stayed away from their classrooms to back up demands for higher salaries.
The Utah Attorney General asked a district judge to issue an injunction against the striking teachers. The teachers, meanwhile, scheduled a mass meeting in Salt Lake City at 10 a.m. MST (1 p.m. EDT).
In the Mississippi river town of East St. Louis, high school seniors due to graduate next week matched teachers' picket lines with their own. They carried signs reading "exams, now, pickets later."
Final examinations are scheduled for Thursday and Friday and many seniors were afraid the stuike might delay their graduation. The student pickets reported for classes after marching around the high schools.
More than two thirds of East St. Louis' teachers joined the strike which began yesterday.The walkout gave more than 18,000 youngsters a holiday from classes.
