Costume variations will mark Rock Chalk
Everything from a Raid insecticide can to butterflies and kangaroos will dot the stage in this year's production of Rock Chalk Revue.
Variation in chorus costume design has become especially popular this year. In one of the skits each chorus member portrays a different animal character.

Costumes are designed, coor-
Individual house costume directors estimate that from 90 to 600 hours have been spent on costume work. Costs will range from about $25 to $300 for cos-
tunes alone in the various skits.
The only real problems reported have been the tails, ears, and some insect antennae that will be attached to the costumes of one group, Miss Colton said. Other chorus members will test their dancing talent in long bell pants and flowing gowns while men in another skit will be
decked in knickers and trimmed in ruffles.
Becky Powell, Des Moines, Iowa, junior is costume director of the between-acts skits. She said about 30 mod-dressed singers, dancers and narrators will participate in the between-act entertainment.
Costume directors for the individual skits are: Carolyn Henry,

Frosh attitude passive said survey
Rock Chalk, an annual production of the KU-Y, will be presented on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27 and 28.
The general attitude of freshmen is that of passiveness and lack of interest in campus improvements and activities, concludes freshman president, Steve Hix, after completing a class survey.

Hix characterizes his findings as "very disappointing." The survey was distributed among 2,000 students, but only about 400 students showed enough interest to complete it, Hix says.
He also points out that only two students out of the 400 gave any suggestions to improve class and campus conditions.

social functions, but most students don't realize this is their only power or duty." Hix says.
Hix states that almost half the students have no idea of what the class officers have done this year.
The freshman president says he will not run for a class office next
Requested speakers were VicePresident Spiro Agnew, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., William Buckley, Bill Cosby and Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine.
Hix says there are many things he would like to do for improvement of the campus, but that 'the only power class officers truthfully hold is that of planning class parties." He says this is one of the reasons he feels freshmen should be given a chance to run for the Student Senate.
He says that the officers now are working to bring outstanding bands and speakers to the campus next fall. The survey included questions on what bands and speakers freshmen would like to see on campus. Groups receiving the most requests were Simon and Garfunkel, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Fifth Dimension, Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Doors.

Student opinions sought on medical insurance programs
The proposal of Rep. John Vogel, R-Lawrence, to test the control or eradication of marijuana is expected to be reported in Kansas Legislature committee this week.
The bill would set up a steering committee of six members to study the possibilities of action on marijuana. Vogel said the state can take advantage of federal money for the program.
The means of controlling or eliminating marijuana has not been decided. The provision merely sets up the committee to study the problem. Vogel said there may be legislative action on the bill in this year's session if it gets through committee.
Vogel said, "It is common sense to have this study set up. Only one county would be involved in the research. Marijuana control may be worthwhile or it may be impossible. However, before millions of dollars are spent the problem should be studied."
Dr. Raymond Schlegel, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, is asking student opinion on the student insurance program.
The Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., is the program now used by the University of Kansas.
That plan is to be reconsidered and students are asked to write to Dr. Schwegler about any troubles they have encountered with the policy or any changes they want in it.

This is the first year that KU has used the Travelers plan after switching from Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
If students want obstetrical coverage in the plan, Schwegler said, they should remember that in including it, the entire student group would have to share the cost. It can be included if all students are willing to pay the extra fees.
