A chip off the old Rock

lhe final curtain fell on the 1991 Rock Chalk Revue Feb. 2, but the United Way of Douglas County will applaud the revue's record-breaking gift all year. The production provided $35,000, outshining last year's record $28,000. Leigh Reinhart, executive director of the revue, says the staff stuck to a miserly budget, raised ticket prices and spotlighted vignettes around town. "You'd be Surprised!" drew more than 8,000 people. The Kappa Delta sorority with the Delta Tau Delta fraternity caught the top overall prize with "Some Thing's Fishy." Off-stage, the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity earned the award for most-charitable performance. Members spent more than 375 hours with United Way organizations. In all, Rock Chalk offered more than 1,000 hours to needy groups. They couldn't play to a more appreciative crowd. KANSAS ALUMNI MAGAZINE 9 Experts assign tasks for future to educators
