Speech students on the univer
sity campus are on stage to ring
down the curtain tonight, 7:30
p. m(. at the Studio Theater
climaxing a season full of activ
ities including such plays as
"Androolos and the Lion," and
"Seven Sisters." The event is one
that takes place annually and is
looked forward to by every mem
ber of the Temple theater. Yes,
you guessed it, "Oacar Night."
What does it include? Every
thing, brother, everything.
In years previous a dinner pre
ceded the event, but this year be
cause of certain prevailing circum
stances the dinner was canceled.

At Mass Meeting . . .
YW Members Discuss Staff,
Financial Plans for Next Year
Wednesday night approximately !
100 members of the Y. W. C. A.
met in Ellen Smith to hear the
new plans of the organization for
next year and to check interest
sheets on which staffs will be
based for next year.
The new organization plan will
include two regular mass meetings
per semester for such business as
a possible change in the constitu
tion with regard to dues and at
least one meeting of a social na
ture. Mimeographed sheets were given
to each containing the list of sug
gested staffs for next fall. Over 20
groups were suggested and room
was left for others that the group
might desire.
On the back of the papers sug
gestions for a more efficient and
more meaningful staff program
were written and the cabinet will
use these suggestions in planning
staffs.
How to raise the budget and the
present system of dues was dis
cussed. The possibility of charg
ing a fixed amount each semester
or each year instead of an initial
$2 fee was brought up. Such a
plan would involve a constitutional
change and if the cabinet decides
it would ho advisable this will be
brought before the first mass
meeting in the fall.
Following the mass meeting the
cabinet met to discuss finances and
to hoar a discussion of the pos
sible reduction of the budget. The
la-st on timet mooting of the year
will be hold next Wednesday at
7 p. m. at which time the freshman
program will be decided.

gram. The evening will be taken
up with awards, distinctions and
"Oscar's" given to individual Paul
Munis and Bctte Davises of out
standing casts, as well as awards
given for the best plays of the
year.
As can be expected, "Oscar
Night" is a replica of Hollywood's
Academy Award. Like previous
years there will be take-offs on
plays and incidents which have
accumulated in making up a well
rounded year of activity in the
theater racket.
Although the speech department
has been hit hard because of
Uncle Sam's skirmish with the
axis the Templeites expect to
make this "Oscar Night'' the hit
of the decade.
Former Student
Speaks to Class
On Handcraft
Miss Ruth Gilgen, graduate of
the school of fine arts in 1918,
spoke before the handcrafts class
in home economics yesterday. Her
subject dealt with occupational
therapy.
Miss Gilgen has taught in Japan,
China, Hawaii und California
since her graduation. In Tokyo
she taught foods in . a private
school for girls and Japanese and
French cooking.
In addition, the girls studied
flower arrangements under her.
This is one of the most important
parts of their life. Miss Gilgen
said. She also taught English to
boys in one of the universities of
Tokyo.
Later Miss Gilgen taught occu
pational therapy at Gamarillo
state hospital in California. This
is one of ten such hospitals in
that state.
1,000 well trained teachers will
be needed in California alone in
the near future for such work, the
speaker said, and the work being
taught in the handcraft class,
taught by Miss Bess Steele, will
be part of needed equipment for
such a profession.

UN Campus to Experience
War Rationing for One Day
While the Nebraska campus ex
periences war food rationing the
first time Monday, May 11, for
the duration of one day only, the
British Isles and similar blockaded
nations have existed on these ra
tions throughout the war.
To bring home the differences
in what Americans enjoy in the
way of varied menus and what
war rationed countries regularly
eat, the Student Union is spon
soring a comparative exhibition to
be shown in the Union lobby Tues
day, May 12.
Planned by students interested
in nutrition, the exhibition will
contain examples of a British
breakfast, a good American
breakfast. Similar examples of
lunch and dinner will be on dis
play during the day.
Kept secret from the student
body, Monday menus will be de
livered to housemothers and presi
dents today. For that day's throe
regular meals, all organized
houses, the Student Union, dormi
tories, and ag campus boarding
clubs 'will serve a British food ra
tion meal.
Bureau Approves.
Enthusiastically approved by
the National Bureau of Economics
who referred the idea to the Brit

the Student Defense Council has
greately interested the British

A British middle class family of
three is allowed 2 pounds and 13
ounces of meat a week, l' pounds
of sugar, pound bacon, 9 dunces
of cheese, 6 ounces butter, 12
ounces margarine, 6 ounces tea, 6
ounces cooking fats, 12 ounces

1 pound of canned food or about
4 pounds of cereals, pulses, etc.
A few sample menus include:

jam.
Lunch: Liver sausage and
salad, Ground rice and stewed

Despite the 'war rationing, the
English people still cling fondly
to their daily spot of tea at about

an integral part of the tea before

Kitchen Front Broadcasts.
Wholemeal bread is made from
a mixture of 70 percent bread
flour, rice, and similar ingredi
ents. It is made after a recipe
endorsed on the British so-called
Kitchen Front broadcasts. A quote
from a British mother says, "We
like it very much, and it is very
easy to make."
Many new war recipes have
been given to the British people
over the Kitchen Front broadcast
ing series. Such "vegetable war
riors" include potatoo scones and
potato floddios, both made with
flour to make the actual potato
go farther. "Fadge," also a mix
ture of potato and flour and fried
on a hot griddle, is a popular
breakfast dish. Lentils are used in
a wide variety of ways, rolls and
relish being foremost.
The major portion of British
food comes from the United
States under lend-lease. However,
Canada, South Africa, Australia,
New Zealand, Eire, Iceland, Portu
gal, Brazil, and the home market
have contributed their quotas.
