ROCK CHALK PERFORMERS—Appearing tonight and Saturday in the Chi Omega-Sigma Chi Rock Chalk skit "For Whom the Rock Rolls," are (left to right): Sandy Robinson, Ellinwood sophomore; Monti Belot, Lawrence sophomore; Terry Oldham, Kansas City freshman, and JoLynne Talbot, Overland Park junior. The musical revue will begin at 8 p.m., in Hoch Auditorium.
Rock Chalk Revue Will Open Tonight
The theme for the thirteenth production of Rock Chalk Revue is "Historical Hysteria." The plots corrupt historical fact from the time of the cave man to Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in 1863.
The students' annual chance to satirize the school, the administration or the world at large comes tonight and tomorrow night in Hoch Auditorium.
Sigma Chi and Chi Omega will present "For Whom the Rock Rolls." In the skit caveman Jack Kennedy makes an important contribution to progressive education-thinking—and starts a university named Kave U to impart this ability to his contemporaries.
KENNEDY'S principal rival is C. Sawbone Wesconus, a local medicine man, who challenges Kennedy to a showdown over the fate of the university.
Classes never the less get under way. One professor announces he will grade on the curve, even though Common Law forbids passing on a curve.
Beta Theta Pi and Pi Beta Phi start their own Peace Corps with Marco Polo at its head. In "The Polo Game" corruption develops in the corpsmen who are faced with the task of forming activity clubs in a Chinese University.
Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Tau Omega rewrite the history of the Boston Tea Party in "The Big Dump."
THE CORPSMEN organize a treasury in the club and plot to abscond with the dues. Good King John had originally sent the group to stabilize the country's economy and promote his own personal image.
The dumping of tea into Boston Harbor is said to be in protest of what Sam Adams, chairman of the All Suffering Colonists call "unfair British restrictions."
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi parody Quantrill's Raid in "Hill and Gully Raiders."
Daily hansan
Adams cites the extra price for theater seats and the monopoly granted the Union Jack Store as examples of the restrictions.
Quantrella's MU Raiders strike the KU campus, destroy several buildings, and kidnap KU football coach Jacque Michele.
Some say the Raiders have an inside contact, supposedly the KU student body president, who is bitter because his grades were too low to make the team.
KU FOOTBALL players, an extremely intelligent and devoted group of young men, are not allowed to make any grade below "A" in any course except physical education courses.
The Mount Oread Trio and Chuck Patterson will provide entertainment Saturday night during the judges tabulation.
This year the between acts entertainment will consist of a short transition skit between each act.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Both Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega will be trying to retire the traveling trophy. Each house has two of the three wins necessary to keep the trophy.

Weather
Nearly full sunshine is expected to send temperatures into the 50's and 60's over most of Kansas today but more cold air is on the way for tomorrow.
Weathermen said the first day of March found the state with dry topsoil and little chance for a wetter month after an unseasonably dry February. Only traces of moisture were reported over most of the state.
Some cloudiness, but little if any rain, was expected to accompany the outbreak of cold air tomorrow.
Temperatures were expected to drop into the lower and middle 30's tonight, after reaching the 50's and 60's during the day.
Highs yesterday ranged from 55 at Goodland to 36 at Chameh.
Roger Wilson, Wichita senior and Vox Populi president, and Eob Stewart, Bartlesville, Oka., sophomore and University Party (UP) Greek co-chairman, last night examined the spring campaign.
The coming spring election has sparked interparty controversy.
IN AN INTERVIEW, Stewart said if UP presented "old issues," it is because the issues are the same.
Wilson, speaking at a Vox meeting, said he expected University Party to "rehash old issues" in the spring election. He cited complaints about All Student Council (ASC) committees as an example.
"Charlie and I both believe his statements," said Stewart. "He didn't just say some words to stir up a controversy."
Spring Election Clash Divides VOX-UP Heads
Referring to statements made Monday night by Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior and UP candidate for student body president, Wilson said. "This is the only type of campaign UP can run."
WHITMAN HAD CHARGED that the student body presidency was being used as a stepping-stone to the state senatorship from Kansas.
Whitman is producer of Rock Chalk Revue, and has declined to elaborate on his statements until Rock Chalk is over.
WILSON SAID HE expected a "deluge" of legislation from UP at ASC meetings in the next few weeks. "They must get started," he said, "in order to build a record of legislation. This party (Vox) is not that way. We work year around."
Stewart said "Concerning this 'deluge' of legislation, if anyone remembers the ASC meeting prior to the last one, there was a 'deluge' of legislation by Vox. If that's an example of 'year around' work, it's concentrated at one meeting.
but our party's record on the ASC" he said. In other business at the Vort meeting, Tom Bornholdt, Topeka junior, was elected executive vice-president. Bornholdt was temporarily appointed to that position last week, replacing Brian Grace, Lawrence junior, who resigned.
Linda Ritter, Brock, Nebr., junior, was elected to a position on the executive council of the party, completing the shifts of party leaders which followed Grace's resignation.
"TM NOT WORRIED about our parents' record on the ASCII board.
Arthur W. Davidson, professor of chemistry, said there is reason to believe the chemical was stolen. The chemical was missing from the lecture table following one his classes.
A jar of sodium metal was reported missing by the chemistry department yesterday.
Missing Chemical May Be Harmful
Sodium metal is dangerous and will explode in water.
Soviets Block Test Ban Plan
GENEVA — (UPI) — The Soviet Union underlined its uncompromising stand on a nuclear test ban today and warned that prospects for agreement are "fast disappearing."
The United States charged this was the fault of the Russians and nobody else.
"We want to negotiate," American delegate William C. Foster said. "Unfortunately we have found that thus far the Soviet Union does not."
SOVIET delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin, in what an American spokesman described as an "extremely tough" speech, told the 17-nation disarmament conference the Soviets are unprepared to go beyond their current position on the key issue of international on-site inspection of a test ban.
He reiterated Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's warning to expect no more Soviet concessions and accused the West of "trying to draw the discussions into a morass of technical questions.
"The prospects of an agreement are fast disappearing despite the immense political concessions made by the Soviet Union," Tsarapinka said, casting aside his prepared text.
He said the Russians are "adamantly opposed" to discussion of tes ban issues other than the two principal ones—on-site inspection and the number of unmanned seismic stations to be included in the agreement.
THE SOVIET delegate accused the West of trying to bring in discussion of technical details "through the back door"—a reference to a proposal earlier this month by Canada's Gen. E.L.M. Burns that the conference draw up an agenda of test ban items for discussion.
He said discussion of what he called "secondary issues" would "only damage the possibility of progress while there is no agreement on the principle questions."
The U.S. plan for a new treaty offer, announced yesterday in Washington, would place "primary reliance" on monitoring suspicious underground disturbances from outside Soviet territory.
The treaty still is under preparation and there was no indication as to when it, or if, it would be presented to the conference here.
The new treaty, intended to be presented jointly with the British, would update a 1962 Western proposal to include negotiating positions which have changed since then. It would include, for the first time, unmanned seismic stations to be located in the United States and Russia.
Foster presumably will discuss the treaty plan when he flies to Washington tomorrow to report on the East-West deadlock here on the question of policing a test ban.
Officials of the U.S. arms control and disarmament agency said the system would place primary reliance on U.S. monitoring facilities for detecting nuclear explosions in the Soviet Union.
THE NATIONAL MONITORING would be supplemented by automatic seismic stations in nuclear countries, stations on the fringes of Russia, Soviet-manned stations inside Russia and on-site inspections when deemed necessary.
Conference sources here said the emphasis on national monitoring should punch holes in the Kremlin's argument that the West wants onsite inspections as a means of spying in the Soviet Union.
Until recently, the Russians claimed that on-site inspections were unnecessary on the ground that devices existed for monitoring all nuclear tests. Though they refused to reveal their claimed methods of monitoring, the Soviets refused admission to Russia of inspection teams, saying that this would be tantamount to Western espionage.
The Kremlin now is willing to have three annual on-site inspections on Soviet territory, but the West has insisted on at least seven. The conference here has bogged down on this deadlock, with the Russians refusing to resume across-the-board negotiations with the United States and Britain.
SOVIET PREMIER NIKITA $S_{v}$ Khrushchev reiterated in a Moscow speech Wednesday that he would go no higher than three inspections.
Foster said some progress might be made on the wider aim of general and complete disarmament pending further talks on a test ban—especially since the United States and Britain are preparing a new comprehensive treaty.
Foster made no progress toward changing the Soviet position in a two-hour meeting with Tsarapkin last night. U.S. delegation spokesman said Foster had asked the Russian to agree to widening the basis of conference discussions.
Model UN Selects Topic Choices For Boland Speech
The Model United Nations Steering Committee last night selected three topics to submit to Frederick H. Boland, president of the United Nations Security Council.
The topics, from which Boland will choose his Model UN convocation address, were "The Changing Role of the Security Council," "The Future of the United Nations," and "The Need for a Truly International Organization (United Nations vs. Nation States)."
INVITATIONS will be sent to high schools within 30 miles of KU and to Wichita schools, asking them to attend the Model UN conference on March 29-30 in Hoch Auditorium.
Visitors to the mock UN sessions will be given briefings which will offer background on the Model UN and explain proceedings on the general assembly floor.
Model UN committee meetings will be held at 7:30 p.m., March 7, in Malott Hall. Faculty members will read discussions on the topics of the first three resolution areas.
CLIFFORD KETZEL, associate professor of political science, will lead the discussion on Internationalization of Foreign Aid in room 124, and A. A. Strassenburg, associate professor of physics, will discuss Regional Disarmament in room 233.
Five KU faculty members will lead the discussion in room 238 on the resolution to invite Red China into the Model UN's specialized agencies. They are Robert Burton, lecturer on Eastern Civilization; Raymond O'Connor, associate professor of history; Klaus Pringheism, instructor of political science; Benjamin Wallacker, associate professor of the East Asian Area, and Felix Moos, instructor of anthropology.
A steering committee meeting will follow these meetings, at 9:15 p.m. in the Pan American Room of the Kansas Union.
Extension Offices Complete Move
The move of the extension offices from Fraser Hall and Blake Arnex to the University extension building at 1241 Mississippi was completed late Wednesday.
The new extension building is the former Pi Beta Phi sorority house. The KU Endowment Association purchased the house for use as University Extension headquarters last year.
