Rock Chalk '70
Rock Chalk spirit is high and the cooperation between participating groups has been impressive, said Kathy Colton, Omaha, Neb., junior, and producer of the 1970 Rock Chalk Revue.
The skirts are of a better quality this year, she said, and the costumes and sets are brighter and more colorful. Individual skirts held dress rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday night of this week.
Over 40 other people have been working on the Rock Chalk staff and stage crew alone since production plans began, Miss Colton said. Directors and lead characters began work with the orchestra on Saturday, Feb. 21, and the chorus members on Sunday. Skits have been rehearsed in Hoch Auditorium all week.
Rock Chalk will be presented to the public on Friday and Saturday nights.
Trophies will be awarded to those who place in the overall judging. Separate awards will be given for the best original song, the best sets, the best script, the best costumes, the best male and the best female performer and the best production number, she said.
The overall winners of Rock Chalk will be judged on a basis of 50 points, Miss Colton said. The points will be evenly divided among the singing, dancing, costuming, sets, and acting.
As of Wednesday evening, there were still plenty of tickets available for Friday's performance, said Dave Reibstein, Topeka, junior, and member of the Rock Chalk staff. Only a few tickets are left for Saturday evening.
